Well-being in public buildings

An environment in which everyone feels comfortable

In public buildings like libraries, cultural houses, trade centers, town halls and other governmental buildings a lot of different people come together. How do you create for all these users an environment in which all these different people can move freely and unhindered and in which it’s pleasant to be in? It goes without saying for issues like safety and hygiene to play an important role in this regard, but also aspects like perception, stimulating meeting and connection and contact with nature have a positive effect on the well-being and health of users.

Well-being in public buildings

Healthy and safe indoor climate

In public buildings a lot of people come and go. To be able to receive all these people in a safe way, good hygiene and safety are important priorities. With regard to interior materials, you can think of the use of hygienic and easy to maintain (floor) surfaces and the application of anti-slip floors, which help prevent slipping and falling. Furthermore, sufficient daylight, fresh air, optimal temperature control, good acoustics and VOC-low or free materials contribute in an essential way to a healthy indoor environment and the well-being of visitors. Both our hard and soft floors meet the standards for the creation of a healthy, safe and clean indoor climate. No matter what type of floor you choose, all collections meet the strict demands concerning the emission of VOCs (volatile organic compounds). They also comply with the strict environmental norms in the field of indoor climate with certifications like BREEAM, LEED, REACH, WELL, The Blue Angel, M1, Indoor Air Comfort Gold, Green Label Plus,FloorScore and GuT. To keep your LEOXX floor clean and beautiful for a longer period of time, there is XXtra Care, a periodical and lifetime extending maintenance concept.

Total experience

The appeal of a public building stands or falls with the right perception. Quite a challenge, because how do you create an environment in which as much people as possible feel at ease? An interior design creating an inviting and welcome feeling, contributing to meeting and connection makes visitors feel happy and at ease faster. At the same time public buildings have to offer space to retreat some time for a little bit more privacy or one-on-one conversations, like in libraries or town halls. By applying a multifunctional design which supports all of these functions without losing the bigger picture, a total experience arises that checks out. We know like no one else how the right floor can make the difference in this regard, complimented by interior materials for wall, window, furniture and ceiling which can be completely made to size.

Power of nature

Nature has a relaxing and calming working on our mind. The presence of natural elements in the interior accordingly has a positive impact on our mental well-being. This isn’t only true for real plants and greens, but also for simulated nature like natural images, prints or patterns. With our LVT floors with realistic wooden or stone look, you bring the experience of nature closer. But also our soft floors with natural patterns in realistic nature tones bring the feeling of outdoors to the indoors. Furthermore, the customizable interior materials of our custom printing label Prints van Oranje are an ideal way to apply biophilic design.
