St Comgall’s Parish Church is an historic building constructed in 1889. It takes its name from the founder of Bangor Abbey which is situated just a few hundred metres away and originally built around 555AD. St Comgall's Parish Church ENQUIRE NOW < Back Overview Churches / Restoration SECTOR: Mclean & Forte Partnership ARCHITECT / DESIGNER Bangor, Co Down LOCATION: St Comgall's Parish Church CLIENT: COMPLETION DATE: 2019-12-11 The Brief The Architect’s creative vision for the centre aisle was to take visitors on a journey across Europe, highlighting the areas visited by St Comgall while highlighting his origins in Bangor, Co Down. Working to the Architects designs Armatile’s in-house design team drew up detailed fabrication drawings for the client’s approval and itemised each individual piece required to be ordered from the manufacturer for the project. Within each section of the aisle there are 54 individual waterjet cut pieces that are fitted together to create an ornate Celtic weave linking one part of St Comgall’s Mission from Bangor, through Europe where he established monasteries in countries such as France, Switzerland and Italy. Our manufacturing team based in our factory in Armagh then used high powered waterjet cutting machinery to cut the base tiles into all the individual shapes before delicately hand assembling each piece in the intricate designs and panels before despatching them to site. This latter element was very important as the preformed designs significantly reduced the fitting time and cost on site. St Comgall's Parish Church Next Previous

Prevention better than the cure! Movement joints are a simple but essential part of any ceramic flooring project. They help your tiles handle natural shifts and movements in the substrate beneath them. Movement can occur due to a range of things but without these joints, stress builds up and causes tiles to crack, lift, or become damaged! Where you find movement joints! Around the Edges You’ll want to add movement joints along the edges of your tiled floor, where it meets walls, columns, or anything solid. This gives the tiles room to expand and contract without pushing up against hard surfaces, which could cause cracks or damage. In Bigger Spaces Movement joints should be considered every 100 m² for areas without underfloor heating and every 40 m² for areas with underfloor heating. In corridors, movement joints should be installed every 2.5 to 3 meters along the length and span the entire width. This helps accommodate stress and prevent cracking in the tiled surface. This spacing helps manage stress across the whole floor, think of it as separating your flooring into manageable bays! At Transitions Movement joints are also useful at transitions between rooms or when switching between different flooring types. They help accommodate movement differences between these areas, ensuring the flooring remains stable and intact. In High-Stress Spots Particular parts of the floor are more susceptible to substrate movement, like high traffic areas are more prone to substrate movement. Installing movement joints in these locations helps prevent cracks and ensures the flooring remains durable over time.
