KARNDEAN DESIGNFLOORING RELEASE NEW RIBA ACCREDITED CPD


UK manufacturer of luxury vinyl flooring Karndean Designflooring has released its latest RIBA approved CPD for architects and specifiers looking to consider the elderly and the vulnerable when designing new spaces.


GERFLOR APPOINTS SPM & HEALTHCARE SPECIALIST


Experienced specification sales professional, Max Taylor, has been appointed Surface Protection Solutions (SPM) and Healthcare Specialist. This role is dedicated to technical sales of Gerflor’s impact resistant ranges for heavy traffic areas within healthcare, education and hospitality environments, and other commercial and public buildings where there is risk of day-to-day damage.


As Max has over 15 years’ specification sales experience and has worked with impact protection products, he was the ideal candidate for the vacancy. He leaves his last post as National Sales Manager at McCue Corporation to take up his new position with Gerflor, working across new build and refurbishment projects.


“This is an exciting time to be growing Gerflor’s SPM brand,” said Max. “Gerflor has world-leading products and an all-encompassing impact protection range covering wall, door, corner and handrail solutions, which sets it apart from its competitors that do not have a complete offering.

Entitled ‘Inclusive Flooring Design: Where Form and Function Meet Legislation’, the long-awaited CPD is set to inform and inspire specifiers designing flooring in environments where the visually impaired, patients with dementia, and the elderly will be present.


The curriculum will cover key topics such as reducing the risk of slipping, complying with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) and importance of colour contrast and light reflectance values. Importantly, it will introduce guidelines for product selection, maintaining hygienic floors and environmental benefits.


“Whereas previously specifiers may have felt restricted in their design, architects are now looking to incorporate zoning, sweeping curves, rug effects and borders around key areas to support vulnerable users in various spaces,” explained Paul Barratt, managing director of Karndean Designflooring.


He said: “As leaders in luxury vinyl flooring, we have a responsibility to educate within the industry and demonstrate how to utilise materials to their full potential.


“The trend for savvy and interesting spaces continues, but ultimately we want to support specifiers in creating an engaging floor design which will ensure vulnerable people will feel safe.”
