Flotex iconic in Jakoba Mulder house
A 'studio look' with industrial concrete - that is what interior design firm EX Interiors had in mind for the Jakoba Mulderhuis, which houses the Engineering Department of the Hogeschool van Amsterdam.
Pleasant acoustics
EX Interiors created a successful floor design with Flotex tiles, in 4 connecting shades of gray. Together, these form clearly recognizable work zones and walkways. The acoustics are particularly pleasant thanks to the choice of Flotex flocked flooring.
Freedom of design
EX Interiors chose Flotex because of it's acoustic proprties and the freedom of design it offers. The result is a sleek play of colors on the floors, playfully interspersed with color accents in partition curtains and colorful workshop areas.
Other floors were finished with Marmoleum in the color earl gray chocolate, which combines nicely with the Flotex shades of grey and meets the requirements in terms of sustainability and budget. The workshop areas are finished tone on tone, with Marmoleum floors in bright colors of red, yellow, green and blue. Conductive Colorex is laid in the technical areas and Surestep **in the workshops provides the necessary anti-slip.
**Easy to clean
For an intensively used educational building like the Jakoba Mulder House, it is also important that the floors are is easy to clean, both dry and wet.
