Unique wiping technique in two grey tones
Floor coating in the office complex Antwerp Tower.
Assignment and requirements
The largest area with 2,600 m² of lounges and office spaces was designed in a special wiping technique. As well as looking good, the floors also had to be able to withstand high visitor frequency and the castors of office chairs – while still being easy to clean.
Particularities and challenges
The wiping technique creates unique visual effects that define the room and give it a very personal touch.
Depending on the preferred technique and tool used to wipe the two colours with each other, the floor can be made either striking or more subtle. Dust and light grey were used for this project.
The solution
KLB-SYSTEM POLYURETHAN PU 410 has established itself as a key product especially for this type of design technique. It has good levelling properties and is largely light-stable.
The decorative coating was followed by a low-emission 2-component polyurethane matt sealer with KLB-SYSTEM POLYURETHAN PU 805 E, which is also non-fade.
