Healthy and safe shopping

A healthy inner climate with amongst others attention to a good air circulation and ventilation, sufficient natural light and good hygiene has a positive effect on the physical and mental well-being of its users. Floors also contribute their part when it comes to the quality of the air inside and a clean space. Think of floors that don’t emit harmful substances and maintenance friendly floors which are easy to clean. Or floors with an anti-microbial function against the growth of bacteria and fungi. Safety also is an important topic in stores. Slippery floors where it is easy for clients to fall on, for example due to wet shoes and umbrellas are a no-go. In these areas both our hard and soft floors offer a solution and they meet the formulated requirements regarding health and safety. Our floors are for example VOC-compatible and most of them meet the strict environmental requirements with regard to the inner climate with certifications like BREEAM, LEED, REACH, WELL, The Blue Angle, M1, Indoor AirComfort Gold, Green Label Plus, FloorScore and GuT. Our maintenance friendly floors help to easily keep the floor clean and our anti-slip floors with a high slip resistance make sure to prevent people from falling.

sustainable and natural

Sustainability is an increasingly important criterion for costumers when purchasing products and services. They don’t just want to see this in the story behind the product or service, but also at the place where they make their purchases. With the design and decoration of your store you can highlight the sustainability aspect of your brand and really make a difference in the conservation of the earth. We see an increasing amount of energy saving stores and the use of sustainable and natural materials in the store environment. Besides the positive impact this has on the environment, it also has a positive effect on the well-being of people. Since connection to nature, both direct and indirect, works stress reducing and has a positive effect on the state of mind. The increased attention for biophilic design, where nature and natural elements form an integral part of the interior design is a good example hereof. Besides the application of literal nature like green and plants and the use of natural lighting,biophilic design is also about the integration of indirect references to nature. For example the use of natural materials, colors, textures and designs. In the field of flooring this involves for instance floors with a natural wood and stone design or a concrete look. But also floors with a high light reflection value, carpet (tiles) made from sustainable Econyl yarn or with a backing free of bitumen, organic floors made of biobased materials or LVT floors where only phthalate free and biological plasticisers have been used.

atmosphere and experience

Atmosphere and experience play a crucial role in the store environment and are decisive for the customer experience. Many people see shopping as a form of relaxation and an escape from the daily concerns. They are looking for a special experience and like to be surprised by a completely different, inspiring environment. By making smart use of various elements in the interior, like colors, scents, light, materials, structures and design, you can influence the mood, the shopping behaviour and also the feeling of well-being of customers in a positive way. By carefully assembling all these elements to each other and incorporating them with your specific brand message and interior concept, you create a unique total experience.
