Anyone who chooses the materials for repair and furnish the office, facing only one problem - the boundless choices. To solve the same problem today one can find hundreds of options. In such circumstances it is particularly important to determine the selection criteria.
Office - this is primarily a working space. And because it seems the most reasonable approach, when certain materials are selected based on properties that have a direct or indirect impact on the efficiency of staff and the working atmosphere in the company.
Fresh air
Hardly anyone need to be convinced that the use of environmentally “dirty” materials directly threatens the health of employees and, consequently, reduces efficiency, increases the cost of health insurance.
Two years ago, experts of Institute of Human Ecology and Environmental Hygiene them. AN Sysina Medical Sciences concluded that the ecological condition of the domestic offices far from ideal. Content of toxic substances in public buildings was in 1,4-4 times higher than outside.
“We believe that conducting such research is important for any company - the director to work with staff groups AlfaStrakhovanie First Lady of Assumption. - On the one hand, avoids the temptation to minimize the cost of the lease (most densely placed staff in the office), on the other to respond to adverse working conditions of the factors affecting their health and performance. According to the company, is caring about its employees directly affects their productivity, and loyalty to the company, and the corporate atmosphere. And ultimately the competitive advantage of the company.
According to scientists, in the office there is about a hundred of potentially harmful substances. Varnishes, paints, wallpaper, mix - without it can not do any serious repairs. Therefore, in particular, in finishing sex experts advise to pay attention to eco-friendly cork cover, porcelain, ceramic tile, glass and stone.
At the same time it must be remembered that it is often not even the main material, and its quality. For example, for the manufacture of office furniture is commonly used DSP classes E0, E1 and E2. Class boards allocation determined by the volume of formaldehyde in the air - a strong poison, which is part of the resins used in the manufacture of particleboard. Most emit formaldehyde slab Class E2, less - E1, and the safest and expensive plates are E0.
Currently, several manufacturers offer their own development, it is positioned as “environmentally friendly”. For example, the German natural finishing materials Kreidezeit manufactured by the original technology from natural raw materials and absolutely do not contain harmful chemicals. They received the highest assessment of the environmental tests in Germany “Őkotest Bauen & Renovien” and nearly 20 years has been actively used to secure the interior decoration of homes and offices. In our country, these materials also have the support of the International Ecological Fund “,” Union of manufacturers and suppliers of environmentally friendly and safe products “,” Consumer Rights Protection Society in Russia, Moscow and Moscow region. ”
Thus, natural colors for the walls and ceiling Kreidezeit allow the walls to “breathe”, absorb and lose moisture. They are favorable for allergies and have no smell, because it does not contain aromatic hydrocarbons: benzene, toluene, xylene …
Also a good “green” reputation have a glass wall, for example, Finnish markka “Finteks.” Glass fiber - pure natural product, which is intended to furnish not only offices but also residential premises, schools, hospitals, etc. When you change the air temperature in a living room glass wall, do not emit unpleasant odors and harmful substances. Surface-stained wallpaper cleaned even alkaline solutions and - most importantly - hides all the flaws of the walls.
No smoke
Environment - is just one of the requirements for modern office finishing materials. There are a number of other criteria, absolutely necessary in a working area. Among those - fire, because office is among the places with high attendance.
In Russia the company “House. Hotel to address this problem offer incombustible wallpaper based on vinyl for public premises. According to the “Fire Safety Certificate” vinyl figures are quite high: a group flammability G1 (flammable), group flammability B1 (inflammable), smoke-forming ability of D3 (high), a class of toxic combustion products T2 (moderately hazardous). This means that the vinyl coating will not burn on the butt, do not support combustion and in the absence of an external source of fire immediately extinguished. And in case of fire and emit smoke though, but such is not a foul.
Under the current “building regulations (building codes) 21-01-97, finishing material such indicators are allowed to apply in all residential and public buildings, as well as in places of evacuation.
Aesthetic properties of vinyl wall coverings is equally attractive. A thick layer of vinyl allows you to simulate virtually any surface: plaster, wood, fabric, marble crumb, straw, leather, crumpled paper, and others. Feels like fabric or leather, keep warm and have a good sound absorption.
No noise
In terms of choice of materials for sound insulation of office - generally one of the main criteria. Maxim Bandura, the head assembly department for Astarta prestige “, dealing with office furnishings with the use of partitioning systems, for clarity, brings the following figures: compare the wall with conventional materials by acoustic permeability, based on sound insulation capacity of building codes (sound insulation index Rw, measured in decibels - dB ):
- Plastered walls in polkirpicha (thickness 150 mm) - 47 dB
- Brick (thickness 280 mm) - 54 dB
- Septum of two sheets of 12 mm gypsum board, interior space is filled with mineral wool as thick as 50 mm (total thickness of the design - 160 mm) - 53 dB.
Thus, light baffle for noise absorption is comparable with full brick wall, which is almost twice as thick! In addition to good sound insulation contemporary office wall more attractive and that gives the customer tremendous scope for the imagination. Use can be as opaque filling (MDF, plastic panels, aluminum lining, chipboard, gypsum board) and choose the glass partitions.
Possible and innovative solutions. For example, recently Astarta prestige “set partitioning for the Moscow office of a large company Merlion, one of the leaders of Russia’s IT-market, in the form of bending waves of the sea. To create a wave-like structures used meter segments, connected by a counter of arbitrary angle.
No wear
The problem of durability is particularly true for the flooring, because nothing is being in the office of such pressures, as the floor. Of the interesting innovations in this field, we note the British production company AMTICO. The firm has been established floor coverings, which combine such features as maximum imitation of natural materials, simplicity and use, high durability, ease of care. The company has achieved this and today is one of the leaders in design tiles and PVC.
Since 1995, the company has developed a new line - PVC tiles STRATICA. In its production uses the latest development of the company Dupont, which are used when creating golf balls and bullet-proof glass. According to its characteristics, the coating is unique and exceeds all existing as on the wear resistance, and on environmental performance.
Wear resistant layer made of pure transparent PVC ensures maximum durability for the lifetime (10 years) and has a structural surface, corresponding to the surface of natural materials. Protective polyurethane layer is responsible for resistance to abrasion and contamination, as well as ease in cleaning. Fixed PVC-base is designed to preserve the stability of the geometric dimensions of tiles regardless of the temperature regime.
Office - this is exactly the environment where work is not only people but also materials. “Activity” was ancillary to the past: they do not negotiate, do not implement these or other projects and do not increase sales. But it is on their quality and consumer properties depend on the comfort and even the success of our work.
