High gloss floor in the UK

[rgrebby]

Im wondering what the best option is to get a high gloss reflection on the ground when in a studio.

I actually did a test today with a slab of white high gloss from the kitchen we just had installed and it worked perfectly however its heavy and only 2ft by 5ft so not big. Its also white so doesnt work on my grey or brown paper.


Im guessing perspex but where do I find heavy duty stuff that wont crack under high heels.

I use LiteGlaze (from B & Q) which is like Perspex but more flexible and pretty strong. Haven't had high heels on it yet, but it coped fine with a wooden base rocking horse and a small chair at a recent toddler group shoot. Only a few quid dearer than perspex.

I couldnt see the LiteGlaze stuff on the B&Q website, how thick should I be looking for?

We've bought from here before...

8x4 sheets but I think they might have been cut down so we can pick them up in the van, so I think you can actually get them bigger if you needed.
And Im pretty sure they can deliver but I dont have a clue how much it would be.

If it's cracking under high heels then it sounds like you are laying it over a soft surfce, such as carpet?

If thats the case, you need to put a sheet of ply down first, then your backbround paper then the perspex on top of that.
