CREJ - Building Dialogue - June 2017
1. Left Bank Art One of the last items to be installed, artwork can provide a virtual window in areas that do not have an actual window. It can provide a sense of calm and serenity, or excitement and drama. Left Bank Art is a resource that provides over 10,000 images in a variety of styles. The images can be ordered in a finishes such as canvas giclee, glass framed, hand-painted or on plexiglass for outdoor usage. The finishes include brush gel, glass coat, hand embellished and gild silver. www.leftbankart.com 2. Krug Furniture can be a large portion of a commercial project’s FF&F budget; therefore, finding a durable, great looking yet inexpensive product is important to stay within the budget confines. Krug has a large selection of pieces for both health care and general commercial situations. Its health care line offers patient chairs, sleepers, recliners, gliders and bariatric options. The commercial side has the Zola line, which provides opportunities for booth seating, privacy and collaboration spaces, as well as serpentine style configurations to add a fun contemporary look to any lobby space. www.krug.ca 3. Ecore In fitness facilities, it is important to specify a flooring product that reduces injuries caused by slips and falls. Ecore has a product that does just that. Terrain RX is a 5-mil sheet good that is available in several contemporary patterns and colors. Enhanced sound control is achieved as well for footfall noise reduction, which is great in corridors. A final benefit is the polish-free maintenance. www.ecorecommercialflooring.com 4. Forms and Surfaces Adding drama to a building can be necessary for a focal point or wayfinding guide. Often reconciling this with durability can be a challenge. Forms and Surfaces’ ViviSpectra is a glass creation that takes a digital image of your choice and applies it to large-scale glass wall panels for a striking, dramatic effect. It can be used in conjunction with Form and Surfaces’ VEKTR Digital Canvas to achieve a unique and custom wall product. For durability, its bonded metal product can be used to complement the ViviSpectra paneling. www.forms-surfaces.com 5. ATI Decorative Laminates ATI Decorative Laminates offers MirroFlex, a product manufactured in the U.S. It is a thermoplastic decorative wall panel and ceiling tile option with many patterns and finish combinations available. Upon selecting the preferred pattern, a finish can be specified. MirroFlex can be easily and quickly installed with an adhesive method.
