As business jet owners strive to create increasingly exclusive flying environments, Ocean Sky has successfully installed a stone floor in the entrance and galley area of a Global Express.

The Baltic Brown granite floor was fitted at the company's Manchester interiors centre over a two-week period.  

Lenny Gray, general manager of Ocean Sky's aircraft interiors business, says: "In addition to the granite's attractive appearance, the stone also brings many practical benefits, such as significant durability and simple cleaning. The installation enables easy removal of the flooring if needed, and the material meets the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) 25.853 aerospace standard for flammability and the FAR 25.793 standard for floor surface friction."

The granite installation is complemented by a sophisticated carpet pattern in the passenger cabin, lavatory and crew area.

Gray continues: "The multi-layered structure of the flooring ensures minimum weight increases. The stone's natural texture and patterns mean every aircraft with a Baltic Brown stone floor is unique."

Before starting work on the installation, Ocean Sky constructed a 3D model of the Global Express to ensure the colours and patterns met the client's requirements and completed a trial fit onboard the aircraft.
