Office rooms become a chillout lounge
Elastic and sound reducing flooring system
Decorative elastic polyurethane coating system, very good UV- and colour stable, impact sound reducing, gentle to knees and joints, temperature pleasing to the feet, with light to medium mechanical and chemical resistance and a wide colour spectrum.
The Esselte Leitz GmbH & Co KG company refurbished several slightly aged office rooms into a chillout-lounge for its staff. The goal was to create a comfortable atmosphere – with one requirement: the floor colour had to conform to the wish of Esselte Leitz, the colour NCS S0580-G30Y.
The coating company CBL Chemobau Industrieboden GmbH introduced the system VIASOLELASTIC UV - GREEN LINE ECO to Esselte Leitz. The seamless coating system is applicable in many colours with an individual design – thereby fulfilling the condition of a desired colour. Further properties such as impact sound reduction, walking comfort, gentle to the joints, hygienic and tested slip resistance spoke for the system by the industrial floor producer VIACOR Polymer GmbH from Rottenburg. Naturally the certified system build-up also fulfills legal stipulations, such as the AgBB standard or the fire classification.
A raised, anhydrite floor with various openings for old sockets and cable tunnels was located in the previous rooms. That is why the CBL company had to carry out substrate preparations first and fill the holes and finally finish by grinding.
The first layer that was applied by CBL was VIASOL EP-P285, a water-based coating which demonstrates a great adhesion to anhydrite. For an optimal further processing, the company chose the binder VIASOL EP-P285 in connection with a biaxial texture for the lamination and scratch coat. In order to close the pores and to produce a homogenous surface VIASOL PU-C525 was used as the third layer. The top coat VIASOL PU-C500, an aliphatic, colour solid polyurethane coating corresponded to the desired colour of Esselte Leitz. Applying chips to this PU-coating lead to a special effect and thereby a visual highlight was created. Finally, this high-gloss surface received a colourless, matt seal through the product VIASOL PU-S688N. This extraordinary room is provided with an impressive atmosphere thanks to this design floor and the pretty light incidence.
