Most people will be familiar with BREEAM certification, but how about DREAM? Defence Related Environmental Assessment Methodology (DREAM) is the UK Ministry of Defence's version of BREEAM, designed specifically for the new build and refurbishment of defence related buildings such as aircraft hangers and barracks. Interior design factors given for consideration include day lighting, thermal and acoustic comfort, and air quality. It also states that flooring and its installation should have no or low VOCs so specifying adhesive-free installation can play an important part: ✅by eliminating the VOCs associated with traditional adhesives and tackifiers. ✅by being a low VOC option itself. Our products have been independently tested and achieve “Exemplary” criteria for VOC emissions under BREEAM, while also exceeding all points for LEED specification. ➡️View the online tool at www.dreamassess.com #IndoorAirQuality #DREAM #DefenceBuildings #Flooring

Often described as “West London’s best kept secret”, the offices at 2 Kingdom Street, next to Paddington station, boast state-of-the-art facilities. And with sustainability top of mind, our adhesive-free MagTabs were specified for the refit of a 1,500 sqm office area, enabling Luxury Vinyl Tile and carpet tiles to be seamlessly fitted together onto the existing metal raised access flooring to create a contemporary design. We've estimated the potential cost and carbon savings from using adhesive-free installation compared to traditional methods for this project: > £𝟭𝟵,𝟬𝟬𝟬 saved in sub-floor remediation costs > £𝟵𝟮,𝟬𝟬𝟬 building assets protected > 𝟲,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗸𝗴 𝗖𝗢𝟮 potential saving via flooring reuse 🧮Check it out at > https://lnkd.in/eWanv8Nx Developer: British Land Fit-out contractor: Thirdway Flooring contractor (and photo credit): Loughton Contracts Plc Flooring: Tarkett iD Square Luxury Vinyl Tiles and Milliken Floors Europe Tracing Landscapes carpet tiles, both installed using IOBAC MagTabs #CommercialInteriors #Flooring #FitOut #AdhesiveFree #CircularConstruction #DesignForDisassembly

✨ Transforming Spaces with Innovation! A lookback to our Akoya House case study, which highlights how adhesive-free flooring can play a key role in achieving a stunning and sustainable office redevelopment. By eliminating traditional adhesive installation, we achieved: ✅ 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: The flooring contractor saved valuable time installing a complex herringbone pattern, whilst avoiding exposure to VOC's. ✅ 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: The property owner protected an expensive and carbon-heavy building asset (the raised access floor) from adhesive damage, reducing the risk of costly repairs and replacement. ✅ 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝘂𝘀𝗲: The flooring manufacturer can reclaim uncontaminated flooring at the end of its life for easy reuse or recycling through their reclamation programme. All whilst the client enjoys a beautiful, durable floor that stands up to the demands of a busy office ✅✅ Explore the full case study here: https://lnkd.in/e942dEhe Flooring: Forbo Flooring Systems Allura Flex LVT installed with IOBAC MagTabs Design & Build: Oktra Flooring Contractor: The Commercial Flooring Company Ltd Client: Feldberg Capital/Akoya #FlooringSolutions #ThursdayThrowback #CommercialInteriors #fitout #SustainableFlooring

In support of World Green Building Week, we are highlighting a useful infographic from UK Green Building Council (UKGBC) on embodied carbon in construction, which covers everything apart from building operations. Reducing embodied carbon includes minimising material use and promoting reuse wherever possible. For instance, our independent whole life embodied carbon modelling demonstrates that adhesive-free flooring installation could deliver up to 80% carbon savings due to material reuse ➡️ check out the facts and figures at https://lnkd.in/eDF299gK 🔗See full UKGBC article at https://lnkd.in/eW7HA5jc #BuildingTheTransition #WGBW24 #EmbodiedCarbon #SustainableConstruction #CircularEconomy

An oldie but a goodie! 🙌 Check out this video featuring Ian Spreadborough, filmed over a decade ago at one of our very first projects at Asda Hull. The message remains as relevant as it was back then: traditional flooring installation can contaminate floor coverings hindering reuse and recycling, and cause damage to sub-floors leading to costly repairs. Adhesive-free flooring installation enables clean uplift, material reuse and cost and carbon-savings. The importance of sustainable flooring practices is even stronger today 🌍 #ThrowbackTuesday #Flooring #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #CommercialInteriors
