VISIONS RUBBER FLOORING FOR CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE

RUBBER FLOORING FOR CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE 2

IT ALL BEGINS WITH RUBBER Rubber is the foundation of our entire business. It has been since 1962 when the Pirelli Group gave birth to Artigo, a division dedicated to the development of rubber flooring. In 1992 the company was acquired by Gruppo Mondo, a leader in rubber surfaces for the commercial and athletic sectors. Gruppo Mondo was able to rapidly develop the rubber flooring market with the use of advanced technologies and the fundamental addition of specific skills and extensive experience. Rubber is a raw material with few rivals where resilience and basic elasticity are concerned....

La gomma è al centro di tutta la nostra attività, lo è da quando nel 1962 all’interno del Gruppo Pirelli nasce Artigo, la divisione dedicata allo sviluppo dei pavimenti in gomma. Nel 1992 l’acquisizione da parte del Gruppo Mondo, leader nel settore delle superfici in gomma in ambito commerciale e sportivo, con il rapido sviluppo di tecnologie avanzate e l’apporto fondamentale di professionalità specifiche e di grande esperienza.

SUSTAINABILITY, CERTIFIED BLAUER ENGEL The topic of sustainable architecture is of crucial importance for companies like Artigo, whose products are placed in large public or private buildings. Hospitals, libraries, and schools provide services for the community while also creating environments that are open to all and that must increasingly be oriented towards collective health and well-being. Artigo’s first commitment is to the people who use our floors: we work for them constantly to ensure that our products are free of PVC, heavy metals, halogens and volatile plasticizers, guaranteeing...

GREENGUARD GOLD INDOOR AIR COMFORT GOLD Gives assurance that products designed for use in indoor spaces (and thus providing good indoor air quality) meet strict chemical emissions limits, which contribute to the creation of healthier interiors. Ensures that a product has met some of the world’s most rigorous and comprehensive standards for low emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into indoor air. The Greenguard Gold standard includes health based criteria for additional chemicals and also requires lower total VOC emissions levels to ensure that products are acceptable for use in...

In kindergartens the floor is more than something you just walk on. For the children, it is just another part of the environment to play with. Also, they often go around with naked feet. Artigo floors ensure considerable reduction of treading noise, proving to be the ideal solution for nurseries. Chiunque li abbia frequentati, sa che negli asili-nido il pavimento è molto di più di qualcosa che si calpesta. Per i bambini è parte integrante del panorama di gioco. Non solo ci camminano a piedi nudi ma si rotolano, si sdraiano. I pavimenti in gomma Artigo garantiscono un’eccezionale riduzione del...

Any open seams in flooring can become hotspots for bacteria: rubber flooring doesn’t open at the seams, since no plasticisers are used and the flooring doesn’t shrink over time. The surface of rubber flooring is not porous. It can be sealed at the seams and therefore does not offer spaces for bacteria to multiply. Eventuali giunti aperti possono diventare focolai di batteri: i pavimenti in gomma non si aprono sui giunti, dal momento che non contengono plastificanti e non sono quindi soggetti a ritiro nel tempo. Le superfici dei nostri pavimenti per ambienti ospedalieri non sono porose, sono...

Studies show that people who live and work in environments with good IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) have significantly higher cognitive function scores. Cognitive performance is directly affected by the environment: according to German Blue Angel and US Greenguard certifications, our rubber flooring emit very few pollutants to the indoor air and, thus, do not affect the health of the inhabitants. Un sempre maggiore numero di studi rivela come chi vive e lavora in ambienti con una buona Qualità dell’Aria Interna può vantare migliori prestazioni cognitive. Questo vale sia per gli alunni che per gli...

Libraries and museums are increasingly designed to create an experience and an emotional bond with the public. They are changing from mere exhibition spaces to environments that encourage people to return from time to time. Artigo has extensive experience supplying rubber flooring for museums and libraries, having worked with some of the most important architectural firms in the sector. Pensati sempre di più come luoghi esperienziali, in cui il pubblico possa sviluppare un legame affettivo, biblioteche e musei sono chiamati a trasformarsi da spazi espositivi a luoghi in cui ritornare...
