In DiddyDaves - Most Successful Shoot to Date (http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=95357) Post there has been a lot of questions regarding the flooring which is actually used in the studio.

So rather than it keep getting clogged up asking about the flooring, I would post a new-thread explaining the actual flooring.

The product is manufactuered by Grant Westfield (http://www.grantwestfield.co.uk/) and it is actually their multiPANEL (http://www.grantwestfield.co.uk/Products/PanelSystems/multipanel,linin.html) system panels which we use in the studio as our flooring. These come as 8ft x 4ft Panels It also has its own specific website to find out more information at www.multipanel.co.uk/ (http://www.multipanel.co.uk/).


However, Grant Westfield do not deliver/deal directly with the clients, you do need to find a supplier. I work for www.nationwidebathrooms.com and that is where DiddyDave and I got ours from. I am not sure if it is listed on the website, but I would suggest giving them a call if you do decide to shop around for some prices.


Hope that helps all the questions - a list of your local suppliers can also be found on the Multipanel website. :)


Anymore questions however, just ask.

Your welcome :) We were using paper for the floor and background [we still use it for the back] but obviously we wanted something that was a bit sturdier than the paper, as we had had people bring in their dogs, and obviously they rip the paper really easily, so it was just something a bit different also. Dave was inspired by something else he'd seen as it was determined that this would give us the same/similar effect :)
