PRIMAL INSTINCTS
Primal is one of four themes presented in Global Colour Trend Forecast 2019/20 by INVISTA Antron carpet fibre. Exploring our need to retreat and relax, it presents a palette of subdued, natural and essentialist shades.
The report looks at key design drivers for commercial interiors in 2019 and has been compiled in collaboration with Anne Marie Commandeur of Stijlinstituut Amsterdam, a leading design, fashion, textiles and materials agency. Providing a unique perspective on how colour will impact spaces in the years ahead, the Antron Global Colour Trend Forecast 2019 is essential reading for anyone working in the design of workspaces.
With a focus on wellness and the revelation that the workplace is where we are exposed to trends that tap into our need for creativity and interactivity, the report reveals that through entertaining and dynamic design we can provide the tools for people to feel happy and comfortable in the office environment.
Alongside Play, Grow and Reflect, Primal reflects our attempts to feel closer to nature; a series of colours driven by the natural state of materials, as well as nature itself. A handcrafted, raw edge prevails with colours of ochre and mustard alongside concrete grey.
“There are numerous options for creating surfaces with quiet and pure aesthetics while showing interesting, irregular and dynamic surface effects,” explains Anne Marie Commandeur. “The quiet patterns and shades of carpet
NEW STYCCO FLEX APPROVED FOR INSTALLING PVC
ACCESSORIES F. Ball and Co. Ltd. has launched a reformulated version of its market-leading, rapid-curing, flexible adhesive, Stycco Flex, which is now also recommended for installing PVC flooring accessories, including skirting, capping and coving.
The highly versatile, hybrid tube adhesive is well known for its ability to bond almost any absorbent or non-absorbent material found in the flooring and construction industries. The high strength build-up and fast curing time means it can secure stair nosings and trims, without the need for mechanical fixings, in as little as 60 minutes. It can also be used to bond two impervious surfaces together.

also offer the added benefit of warmth, softness, tactility, indulgence and luxury; creating a sanctuary-like space, or even having a meditative effect. As people look for comfort and shelter, carpet can offer this in any colour, texture or pattern.”
The Antron Global Colour Trend Forecast 2019 is presented in a brochure that explores each theme in detail and which is now available from INVISTA Antron Carpet fibre in hardcopy or digital format.

The new formulation has enhanced dimensional stability and excellent plasticiser resistance – enabling 100% compatibility with PVC accessories. The high strength gain and strong bond performance of Stycco Flex restricts the movement of PVC accessories that occurs over the lifetime of an installation and with temperature change. This gives the advantage of eradicating gapping at joints – a benefit in clinical or biologically sensitive environments, ensuring there is no breeding ground for bacteria. Its solvent-free and hazard-free properties mean it is now an excellent alternative to traditional contact adhesives in such environments.
The excellent gap-filling qualities of Stycco Flex also make it ideal for installing vertical flooring accessories on rough surfaces. It can be sanded down and subsequently painted
with most water-based paints. It is also water resistant, so can tolerate wet cleaning without any detriment to the bond performance.
New Stycco Flex also has improved application properties too, making it easier to gun out, and better nip-off qualities, meaning no mess and less waste. The ability to apply to vertical substrates has been improved to ensure there is no slipping or sliding when using it to bond accessories in these types of situations.
In addition to its new formulation, Stycco Flex tubes have also been redesigned with a fresh new look, in visually striking yellow tubes, which are now available from your local F. Ball distributor in 290ml cartridges.
