Design freely with the Origin 55 Luxury Vinyl Tiles collection
O
rigin 55 is the new Luxury Vinyl Tiles flooring collection from IVC Commercial, letting you design freely with people in mind through quality, loose lay installation, better acoustics and design flexibility. With loose lay installation and plank and tile formats that lets you mix and match seamlessly with carpet tiles, IVC Commercial’s Origin 55 Luxury Vinyl Tiles collection brings design freedom to flooring for projects. Designed and made in Belgium to be completely recycled, projects benefit from a more sustainable floor as well. Origin 55’s designs explore the fundamental connection to nature, bringing calm and peace to the great indoors. With the lifelike tactility of an ultra matt and emboss in register finish – where texture accurately tracks the pattern – each Origin 55 design is authentic and original. Origin 55 planks and tiles are also cut from an extra-large pattern to avoid obvious repeats and to
further enhance the natural look. The extra- large pattern also allows IVC Commercial to create larger plank and tile formats that are designed to be used alongside its carpet tiles and carpet planks, such as the Rudiments and Imperfection collections.
Seamless compatibility with carpet tiles is only made possible with Origin 55’s loose lay format. Installed in the same way and eliminating the need for transition strips, Origin 55 Loose Lay makes multi-material flooring design simple to achieve in offices, hotels and hospitality, housing, retail and more. And for those projects where noise is a concern, Origin 55 Loose Lay Acoustic features a built-in pad that provides up to 19dB of impact sound insulation to make spaces more supportive and productive. Origin 55 Acoustic also features additional patterns
for even more freedom in your
flooring designs. Made in Belgium, the Origin 55 Luxury Vinyl Tiles collection is made from materials

that are 100% REACH compliant and European sourced. Thanks to the installation flexibility of loose lay and a 100% recyclable construction, when it’s time to refresh the project, IVC Commercial can recover Origin 55 and recycle it in its own facility through the Take Back programme, bringing it right back to where it started.
Origin 55 is part of the new Origin Luxury
Vinyl Tiles family from IVC Commercial, including the Origin 70 collection for the ultimate in performance and design freedom in high-traffic areas.

Working towards better workspaces
With many companies not demanding a return to the offi ce but conversely trying to remove people from working at home, co-working spaces have proved to be an excellent solution. A good example is here at LUI House in Herford, Germany. Archwerk Architects have developed this four-storey building into a sustainable co-working hub which is fully self-suffi cient using heat pumps and PV cells. Complete with large break-out areas, hot desks and meetings rooms, the building exudes an aesthetic and inspiring ambience with high-quality furnishings and top-class media technology. With large open spaces and hard surfaces, the architects specifi ed ultrafi ne bespoke Troldtekt wood wool acoustic panels in a natural grey. These were then perforated on-site with different sized holes to give an unusual three-dimensional effect. Not only do the high performance panels offer an interesting textural and visual appeal but they absorb the ambient noise created by talking as well as the echoes and reverberation caused by the hard surfaces and large glazed areas. Troldtekt’s natural and inherently sustainable panels are available in a variety of different surfaces and colours and contribute positively to a building’s BREEAM, DGNB and LEED ratings.

PR.indd 1 FramePro® W1 chosen for Passivhaus Plus housing project in Cardiff
The FramePro W1 air barrier system from the A. Proctor Group has been chosen for a new modular Passivhaus Plus housing project in Cardiff. This innovative project will provide essential housing for Cardiff’s homeless population. It is designed by Beattie Passive using its award-winning, patented design and build system, which the company says is the UK’s fi rst certifi ed Passivhaus Complete Build System. The FramePro W1 system was chosen as an external air barrier. The system comprises FramePro W1, a low-resistance vapour permeable air barrier for walls, plus Wraptite®
Tape. Ron Beattie, Managing Director at Beattie Passive, explains:
“FramePro W1 is an excellent barrier system that provides complete protection from “windwashing” and the effects of wind penetration and moisture management in buildings. In addition, the system is easy to use and apply, easy to joint, and won’t tear.” Another benefi t of the FramePro W1 system is that applying it externally simplifi es the process, maintaining the building’s integrity, as there are fewer building services and structural penetrations to be sealed.
