Ceilux’s two ceiling systems (Lay-in and Clip-in) open up the possibility for architects to indulge their creativity. This manufacturer’s concept centres on the key words of choice, simplicity and mobility.

Depending on the suspension system chosen architects are offered a choice of (pre-powder coated thermo galvanized steel or thermically shaped plastic) tiles: • 585 x 585 mm Lay-in drop panels (optionally perforated);• 585 x 585 mm Lay-in stretch tiles (optionally installed with a white or black insulation mat);• 600 x 600 mm or 300 x 1200 mm Clip-in tiles (optionally perforated). All perforated panels are provided with an accoustic membrane, tested in accordance with ISO 354-1985.

Complementary to the above range are the (identically sized) panels with integrated (pre-cabled) lighting modules covering various lighting needs. Whether we are talking direct lighting, basic lighting, wallwash or accent lighting, it suffices to simply insert the plug into a pre-installed socket.

Mobility is a major forte of Ceilux’s sytems. If the function or interior of a room changes over time, the tiles and lighting modules can simply (& cheaply) change position, without the need to have the suspension system adapted.

Ceilux’s ceiling systems are also applicable for walls. Edge finishing profiles are available for all applications.

Nordbat (Lille), Architect@work (Kortrijk), Batibouw (Brussels)

Since its start-up in 1998 Ceilux has invested in project related support services, which in turn has boosted the company’s commitment to innovative design and installing techniques.

As a result Ceilux now boasts an impressive list of references within Belgium, as well as customers in the United Arab Emirates, Russia, Poland, France and the UK.

All tufted carpets (broadloom or cut length) are made of pure wool or wool rich blends. A choice of backings and tufting gauges (for cut pile and loop pile structures) allows for not only residential use, but also contract use.

The patented Walk of Fame entrance matting system comprises three products, each designed to perform a specific soiling prevention task and to complement one another.

Maximum scraping and drying thanks to the use of coarse fibre needlefelt (PP), combined with brushes (PA) and/or perforations and/or soft strips (PA), depending on the location and the nature of the soiling and foot traffic. Backing types, height and weight vary likewise.

Noteworthy: the ‘Soft Scraper’ (for indoor use), with rubber edging profiles for stepping on easily, is extremely thin and therefore the perfect solution for places without a matting well.

Also: finishing of needlefelt and tufted carpets: die cutting, printing, flock printing… of logo mats, carpet tiles and event carpeting.

Domotex (Hannover)

Although metal profiles are not required all ‘Walk of Fame’ mats are suitable for matting wells. Since they can easily be cut to measure they are a good alternative for aluminium profile matting. Easy to install, relatively cheap and attractive (various colours).

Much of Di Legno’s booming international success originates from its self-developed (and jealously guarded) ageing and staining process. New European oak planks (preferably French oak) are transformed into parquet that has an aged and personal character, through the care-fully controlled acceleration of the natural ageing process and the random application of small dents and lesions.

Di Legno’s choice of colours, sizes and finishes leaves plenty room for personal taste:• full planks, herringbone patterns, Versailles…• planks available in different thicknesses (9, 10, 15, 20 and 30 mm), lengths (700 – 5000 mm) and widths (80 - 400 mm), delivered as semi-finished (pre-sanded and stained in a choice of five standard shades) and to be finished in situ with either wax or oil. A recent novelty innovation is pre-oiled parquet, which requires no surface treatment whatsoever. Ideal for the (high-end) project market.

Professional craftsmen will appreciate:• the ease of installation: a controlled moisture content, no on-site sanding/staining and perfect tongues- and-grooves (as opposed to many reclaimed floors);• the choice of Di Legno oils and waxes offered;• the availability of skirtings, finishing strips… in the very same quality and colouring.

Also… wall & ceiling panelling, stair steps, tables…

This manufacturer’s easy-to-install decking boards are made of WPC, a well-balanced mixture of reclaimed waste wood and polyolefine plastics. They are marketed under the brand names Deco-deck® (for the professional market) and Xtradeck® (for the private market).

Neofibra’s decking range is available in 5 nature-inspired shades, various section lengths, allowing single spans from 2 to 6 metres (longer sections available on demand) and with a broad range of accessories (matching joists, proprietary mounting clips for hidden fastenting, fascia boards and trim caps).

WPC decking does not warp, rot, splinter or crack. It is a low maintenance product that requires no painting or staining. Other characterics are its lasting durability and good slip deterrence, along with its resistance to moisture and insect damage.

Neofibra’s decking boards come with a comprehensive warranty coverage: 10 years against damage from rotting, splitting, splintering or fungal decay. An exceptional 5-year warranty is granted against excessive discolouring (the mate-rial was fiercely age-tested and exposed to accelerated weathering in a laboratory environment).

Batibouw (Brussels), Green Expo (Ghent), Spoga+Gafa (Cologne)

This manufacturer embraces an environmental sustainability policy. Neofibra’s boards contain no toxic chemicals or preservatives, are fully recyclable and eventually help to halt deforestation.

The Decodeck-Xtradeck decking systems, which boast an impressive track record of high-profile references throughout Europe, are the first of what is to become a range of innovative ecological WPC mate-rials pioneered by the Neofibra company, part of the Belgian Iplast thermoplastics processing group of companies.
