| New colour-through panels from certified wood fibres  Trespa International has introduced Trespa TopLabECO-FIBRE, a panel that combines natural aesthetics with outstanding chemical performance, whilst at the same time making a significant contribution to the preservation of limited natural resources. Designed for use in all types of laboratories, new Trespa TopLabECO-FIBRE panels have a colour-through core to allow the creation of a natural and attractive laboratory environment. The natural look and the warm and natural colours of Trespa TopLabECO-FIBRE enable designers to create highly individual laboratory environments. In the unlikely event that a surface is damaged, the colour-through panel will retain its colour.Trespa TopLabECO-FIBRE sets new standards in laboratory aesthetics. Trespa TopLabECO-FIBRE is available in two contemporary and attractive colours. The colour options are Sahara – a sandy beige tone, and Amazon – a dark green with grey undertones. These two colours are created by combining natural wood fibres with resin and pigments. The inherent characteristics of the wood fibres create a natural variation in colour and appearance both within the same panel and from sheet to sheet. This enhances the natural look of the material and highlights the individuality of the laboratory design. Panels have a smooth surface. This makes them highly suitable for multi-functional surfaces on which activities can be combined: from placing laboratory equipment and computers to carrying out specific analysis and research to more general work, such as administration. Worktops and furniture are easy to keep clean and will keep their good looks for many years to come, even when in constant use. Equally important is its environmental performance. Trespa TopLabECO-FIBRE is produced with natural wood fibres. This wood fibre base makes Trespa TopLabECO-FIBRE an environmentally sound solution and this is fully underlined by the product's certification by the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes (PEFC). The PEFC Council is an independent, non-profit, non-governmental organization which promotes sustainably managed forests through independent third party certification and supported by 149 governments in the world covering 85% of the world's forest area. The PEFC certification of Trespa TopLabECO-FIBRE provides transparent and independent proof that the wood materials used in its manufacture fully comply with PEFC requirements. Moreover, Trespa International has achieved the new step of integrating the PEFC Chain of Custody system in its environmental management system. Chain of Custody certification is the tracking of wood (based) products from the forest of origin to the final product. By providing a written assessment from an independent, qualified and accredited expert that the wood flow accounting system meets the exacting requirements of the certification scheme, customers can be absolutely sure that their product is linked to certified forests. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
