ASB GLASSFLOOR TECHNOLOGY ASB
German-based company ASB created GlassFloor Technology to enable the court markings on the floor to be changed with a simple tap of a screen.
Founded in 1965, ASB has over 25 innovations within its portfolio and the company has had a major influence on the sport of squash for both athletes and spectators. This rich sporting heritage provided ASB with the foundations they needed for the creation of a glass sports floor.
After several years of a trial and error development process and overcoming a lot of hurdles, ASB installed the world’s first GlassFloor in a 500m² sports hall in Stein, Germany. The glass panels for the floor are made from two specially treated 2x3m safety glass plates, held together by a 1.5mm PVB layer and are laid on top of the LED channels and a shock-absorbent substructure.
Every 500mm of the glass panels are attached to the aluminium substructure, meaning that just a simple suction cup can be used to lift the panel. This allows for quick and easy access to the LEDs, which can be installed in many different colours. On the underside of the glass panels, a special foil is applied to achieve a clear light lining, without seeing single LEDs and to give the floor the chosen colour.
The unique appearance, low-maintenance characteristics and long life of the floor make the product also very appealing for commercial or residential buildings.

ASPECTA FIVE ASPECTA
When ASPECTA launched into Europe at Domotex in January 2015, the new LVT brand laid down an ambitious plan to challenge the contract flooring market. Within 18 months, ASPECTA has developed an impressive portfolio comprising nearly 200 designs across three ranges, with a presence in a total of 18 territories.
Amongst its flooring range is ASPECTA FIVE- the ultimate Dryback flooring collection, offering a vast choice of designs, colours, embosses and sizes. It comprises over 100 beautiful tiles and planks - 52 woods, 33 stones and 24 abstracts. The collection extends from light, Scandinavian woods to industrial, urban abstract designs – evidence of the trend scouting undertaken by ASPECTA’s award winning international designers. Piermont, for example, is a painted wood design with a unique layered finish, created by combining a pearlescent effect, abstract design and wood embossing texture – and is genuinely unique! Piermont won the prestigious American Interior Design Magazine’s Best of Year Award in 2015.
The whole portfolio of ASPECTA is highly durable and easy to maintain, and is consequently ideal for all built environments with high footfall, including the hospitality, retail, healthcare, corporate and education sectors.
Samples can be despatched within 48 hours from ASPECTA’s European Head Office in the Netherlands.
Marcel Kies, Managing Director of ASPECTA ERME, commented: “We are very happy that we are expanding our European presence at such a pace.
“Not only do we have a fantastic portfolio in terms of both design and performance, but we are supporting these three ranges with outstanding marketing.”
