IOBAC Adhesive-Free Flooring Installation
Problem addressed
通过使地板成为一种循环材料,防止地板填埋废物.
研究表明,每天有300吨的装修材料被送到垃圾填埋场, with floor coverings often a major component. 市场变化基金会报告说,一个面积相当于伯明翰的地区, UK, is thrown away every year, just in carpet alone. On uplift, 使用传统黏合剂方法(如喷雾剂和增粘剂)安装的地板不仅经常受到黏合剂残留物的污染,而且还会受到黏合剂所附着的底层地板的污染, 这意味着它不适合回收或再利用,也不容易回收. 即使是100%可回收的地板材料,在使用一次后也会因为粘合剂污染而被送入垃圾填埋场. 随着租赁时间的缩短,需要更频繁的设计更改,这一问题变得更加复杂. All too often, floor coverings are seen as single-use items, tending to be replaced due to design changes, rather than when the flooring wears out. Material life far exceeds design life in most projects.
Solution overview
IOBAC的一系列磁性无粘合剂地板安装解决方案解决了这一废物问题,使地板覆盖物能够干净地抬起, with no contamination or damage, so that they can be easily re-used and recycled, vastly improving flooring circularity. Plus, 底层(通常是金属凸起的通道地板)没有受到损坏, 在使用传统的安装方法后,可以节省修补基础所需的时间和成本.
IOBAC技术利用磁力将地面覆盖物牢牢固定在原地,直到需要抬升. It is a simple, 两部分组成的系统,地板安装在可选择的磁性接收底座上,以适应建筑环境.
Component 1. A metal-containing base – options include:
- 现有的金属凸起地板(常用于办公场所).
- IOBAC Ezy-Install衬垫-高性能干式衬垫,提供声学和脚底舒适的福利和抗疲劳. Fully recyclable, it is made from 95% recycled rubber tyres, 并将植物基树脂与由废铁制成的硅铁添加剂结合在一起. 衬垫结合磁性和干tac为优越的双抓地力在沉重的步行地区.
- IOBAC Resins – VOC-free, 无气味的植物基树脂在1-4小时内固化,对业务操作的干扰最小.
Component 2. A magnetised floor covering – options include:
- 巧妙的双面IOBAC磁标签,用于吸引地毯瓷砖, 豪华乙烯基瓦(LVT)和编织乙烯基瓦的标准背衬金属底座.
- 磁支持LVT从知名品牌,包括Amtico, Karndean and Mabos, or magnetic wood flooring or ceramic tiles.
IOBAC technology enables flooring that is “hard to shift, 但容易抬起”——即使在人流密集的区域,地板覆盖物也能安全地固定, but is quickly and cleanly uplifted for repairs, access or redesigns.
Cost benefit
1)在第一次和第二次安装上节省大量的劳动力和材料. 以工作场所的地毯瓷砖安装金属凸起地板为例:
Traditional Material costs:
- Access floor – £20-30/m2
- Floor covering – £25/m2
- Adhesive – £0.50p/m2
- £55/m2 worth of assets are contaminated, 整修通道地板的成本约为每平方米10英镑, plus skip hire costs of £600 per 40yd2 skip. IOBAC无粘接剂安装消除了这些补救成本,MagTabs的成本为0英镑.80 – £1.20/m2.
IOBAC component costs:
- MagTabs £0.30p per MagTab
- Ezy-Install acoustic underlay – £10.50/m2
- IOBAC Resin systems – £10.50 -14/m2
2) Life cycle costs reduced:
- 维护和修理:损坏的瓷砖可以在几秒钟内更换,减少持续的维护成本.
- 可重复使用:受磁底座和地板都可以重复使用多次, with minimal rectification required between uses.
3) Other:
- 税务优惠-磁性地砖是可拆卸的, 并不是建筑结构的永久组成部分, then an ongoing capital allowance of 19% can be applied
- Sensor Flooring—18luck新利appios与Scanalytics传感器技术的合作使零售商能够收集实时客流量, 并迅速采取行动,重新设计楼层布局,以增强客户体验和业务表现.
