The benefi ts of acoustic fl ooring
Reducing sound is more than just a ‘nice to have’ – it promotes the health of staff and service users. Noise levels from people and noise pollution from equipment and devices reverberate over sound-refl ecting hard surfaces, extend over distances and linger;
consequently, they can have a serious impact on the wellbeing of everyone. With a range of vinyl fl ooring that has sound-dampening properties, you can fi nd Altro products that will serve your needs in more ways than one. With different levels of sound reduction, you can tailor your project to its exact specifi cations.

Research.indd 1 Fast and clean luxury vinyl installs with Flex Pro Pure 17/07/2024 10:50
For large scale projects, such as BTR, private housing developments, student accommodation and more, speeding up fl oor covering installation provides signifi cant time and cost-saving benefi ts. For popular luxury vinyl fl oor coverings such as those in the Moduleo brand by Unilin Flooring, correct subfl oor preparation and waiting times for adhesives to cure fully lengthen the time required to achieve a high quality fl oor covering installation. However, with Unilin Flooring’s improved Flex Pro Pure self-adhesive underlay, fl ooring contractors can achieve a high quality installation while reducing subfl oor fi nishing and completely eliminating adhesives. Flex Pro Pure saves the cost of fl ooring adhesives and subfl oor fi nishing and is twice as fast as conventional dryback installation methods. For installations using more complex plank or tile arrangements, such as herringbone or the multi-shape tiles of Moduleo’s Moods collection, Flex Pro Pure also allows for easy corrections with pieces simply lifted and repositioned. This is also advantageous if areas become damaged as planks or tiles can be quickly and easily replaced without disruption.

www.unilin.com Balcoon – the new designer series from Duravit
Balcoon, a new bathroom series from Duravit; is a strikingly elegant design created by Patricia Urquiola. Created for the medium price segment the overall design plays with differences in height, projections and the overlapping of materials and textures, from which the name ‘Balcoon’ is derived. The above-counter basins create a sculptural focal point in the room. Playing with two different levels in this way is a constant across the entire collection – from the wall-mounted washbasins through the toilets and bidets up to the furniture elements and bathtubs. Earthy shades and textured fi nishes help to bring a ‘hand-made’ feel to the ceramics. One of the striking details within the Balcoon washing area is the console with its integrated rear pane, whilst underneath Patricia Urquiola designed an unusual, partly asymmetric arrangement of drawers and open shelves. The visual tension of the furniture elements is further reinforced by the combination of contrasting colours. The Balcoon acrylic built-in bathtubs re-enforce the interplay between two levels with two visually striking details: the oval, raised edge of the tub sits on a seamless acrylic panel that extends into the corners and is easy to clean.
