Everyone knows heavy-duty foot traffic in high use areas of educational facilities means that durability of flooring is vital. However, that is not the only consideration. Throughout the years, Jebsen Building Products has been specialized in sourcing a diverse range of safe, aesthetic and eco-friendly flooring solutions, as well as providing technical support services to help create comfortable and pleasing campus surroundings.
Transforming interior education environment
Bamboo flooring is growing in popularity in recent years. Like hardwood, the bamboo floors come in many types, forms and qualities, each offering different values, d¨Ścor styles and performance.
Architect selected Style's strand woven bamboo floorcovering for the multi-function hall, Academic Building of the New Community College, City University of Hong Kong because of its environmentally friendly features; which it is made from rapidly renewable resource and without VOC emission. Moreover, its hardwearing quality also meets the demand for the high traffic areas in the hall.
Extending the limit of outdoor space
Floor covering surrounding the teaching building, as well as other facilities in campus also plays an equally important part in creating an inspiring learning environment.
The podium outside the Cheng Yu Tung Building of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) used Exterpark Hardwood Decking Systemfor its decking to extend the decoration options. The hardwood decking aesthetically connected the hotel management teaching facility with the neighboring five-star Hyatt Regency Hong Kong, Sha Tin.
Another example of using hardwood decking to enhance the campus environment is CUHK's swimming pool area. Again with the unique color and wood texture of Exterpark, the wood floor provides a smooth but slip resistant surface, as well as an unrivalled visual effect to the swimming facility of the university. Unlike traditional ceramic tiles, the new decking system enable users to feel the comfort of wood under bare feet, but not the burning heat during the hot summer days.
Green under foot
Our green solutions include but are not limited to the floors one step on. Like the poolside area of the unique teaching and research hotel wholly-owned by the Hong Kong Polytechnic University - the Hotel ICON, over 1,000 sets of Buzon Screwjack Pedestals were installed underneath the paving to support the paving stone around the swimming pool.
During installation, a gap of 4.5mm was left between each paving material with the Buzon tab. This special design allows effective drainage around the pool area and leavingno dirt or watermark along the edge of the paving materials. Made of 100% recycled materials, the screwjack pedestal system is the ideal eco-friendly choice that able to support loads of more than 1,000 kg per pedestal.
No matter what the needs of your projects in education environment, Jebsen Building Products has the right solution for you.
