T o p C e rFounded in 1991, Topcer is already a worldwide brand well known by the quality of their unique and innovative products. Topcer is specialised in the manufacturing of unglazed porce-lain tiles in small modular sizes (10x10, 7.5x15, 15x15, 10x30 and 30x30) in various textures and shapes, complemented by a considerable line of matching trim pieces (49), all available in 30 colours.

The continuous research of traditional sizes, components and patterns used in the last two centuries, led Topcer to develop the collections “Victorian Designs and Borders” and “Contemporaneo Series”, which offer traditional and modern innovative designs, back mesh mounted in modular sheets. These made possible in some markets to develop specific niches for their use in Palaces, Museums, Hotels, Restaurants and Pubs, Cruise Ships, private homes, restoration of old floors, etc.

Topcer tiles, due to their high breaking strength, resistance to wear and frost and non-slipping properties, are mostly used in all types of highly demanding areas.

The station in Woerden, which dates from 1911, deserves its status as a listed building on account of its distinctive architectural qualities. However it was too small to cope with increasing passenger flows. This necessitated a number of functional adjustments which were implemented in the form of an extensive programme of reno-vation and a partial extention.

Apart from the functional aspect, our design drawn up in close consul tation with the Building Inspectorate and Commission for Listed Buildings - aimed particularly to show the

building’s architectural value to the best possible advan-tage. The Choice of colour for the main building - both the interior and exterior - is influ-enced by the original colour scheme of 1911. This was one of the determining factors in the choice of finishing materials, such as floor tiles.

Not only that, but the tiles also fitted in with the new colour scheme adopted by the Netherlands Railways.

But our choice was also influenced by functional considerations: we liked the durability and easy maintenance offered by TopCer tiles. These are very important considerations in inten-sively utilised public spaces, here hundreds and thousands of passengers should not be able to make their mark…

Groningen’s Multifunctional Centre is an annexe of the Dennenoord psychiatric hospital, which has been offering a full range of mental health care service here since 1995, in coo-peration with commu nity health care association Riagg.Because the building is located in the city centre, I have attemped to minimise the boundaries between inner and outer. In other words, its design is not reminiscent of a prison, but its function is not concealed: it is softened rather than denied.

I chose a tiled floor because it allows for the creation of a different atmosphere in the

various spaces without addi-tional costs. The Colour schemes actually constitute an important element within the therapeutic environment.For this reason they were cho-sen in close consultation with psychiatrists.It is important to offer a point of rest to people who are, to

whatever extent, confused. Moreover, by creating different types of atmosphere in different areas of the building you can evoke different responses.

TopCer offered me a programme with a range of tones which answered the different therapeutic demands for a broad colour scale. My choice was also influenced by technical aspects such as the tiles’ durable nature, the fact they would be hygienic, the range of available sizes and so on.

VSB bank has experienced explosive growth in recent years. The company wanted today’s strong position to be reflected in the character of its new office complex. Increasing efficiency was also a key objec-tive. For these reasons, the new head office in Utrecht, completed in 1995, fulfils a range of different functions. Alongside office space it contains a conference centre, a restaurant, a branch of the bank and an auditorium which may also be hired by third parties.

We chose TopCer tiles both for aesthetic and functional rea-sons. On one hand, we opted for TopCer tiles because they sui- ted the building’s representative function, and on the other hand because we like to work with the 96x96 and 146x146 mm formats.

The opportunities for combining the tiles with other materials used in the interior, such as undressed stone, carpet, parquet and marble was also appealing. Furthermore we find TopCer tiles have a good finish which is certainly not uneven or rough. Last but not least the price is also very attractive.Consequently we are very happy to lend our sup-port to TopCer tiles!

TopCer stands for a high-quality range of floor tiles, routinely supplied in the customary standard formats of 96x96, 71x146, 146x146, 96x296 and 296x296 mm. The dry-pressed tiles are unglazed, with the colour permeated through the entire tile. Consequently TopCer can guar-antee a durable and colourfast tile.

The TopCer range comprises three attractive lines: Graniti programme, noted for its cool, businesslike character; Earth colours programme, soft, friendly, pastel tones, and Accent programme, uni, clear, modern colours.

Thanks in part to this extended range of aesthetic possibilities, more and more architects and designers are opting for TopCer tiles for projects of various kinds and sizes: whether in the private sector, non-residential building or in industry. The top-quality functional characteristics are also a key factor behind the growing demand for TopCer tiles, that more than meet ISO 13006 and EN 14411 annex G Group BIa norms, amongst others.

TopCer not only supplies high quality tiles, but also a full assort-ment of trim pieces, and a lot of anti-slip surfaces in various designs and sizes.
