Frontrunner<br />
fronts finance<br />
Fortis is a major commercial<br />
finance company in Turhout<br />
Belgium enjoying pristine offices<br />
<strong>protect</strong>ed by Frontrunner Brush<br />
entrance matting. Plastex distributor<br />
Sanimat supplied the matting.<br />
The company needed to find an<br />
effective way of maximising the<br />
removal of dirt from entering their<br />
new building. The original idea of<br />
using an aluminium-framed<br />
entrance system was rejected<br />
because of the unevenness of the<br />
external paving and the fact that<br />
heavy traffic and trolleys would<br />
damage the system unless it was<br />
expensively retrofitted into a new<br />
mat-well. A further complication<br />
was the revolving door area.<br />
If only doctors could<br />
guarantee their patients<br />
for 15 years...<br />
A GP surgery and pharmacy<br />
features roofline<br />
products that come with<br />
an automatic 15-year<br />
guarantee against<br />
defects and discolouration.<br />
Low-maintenance PVC-ue<br />
fascia and soffit boards<br />
were specified for the<br />
new development in<br />
Forton Road, Gosport, Hampshire.<br />
The colour chosen, Expresso<br />
Brown, is available across a broad<br />
selection of Celuform cellular plastic<br />
roofline and cladding products.<br />
Celuform are so confident about<br />
the product’s quality and stability<br />
that they recently increased the<br />
guarantee from 10 to 15 years. The<br />
Expresso Brown colour is created<br />
by bonding a colour stable PVF foil<br />
onto the profile surface. It is available<br />
on a large selection of<br />
Celuform’s best selling roofline and<br />
cladding profiles, including Open V-<br />
Joint, Elite, Conquest and multipurpose<br />
board.<br />
Developed by Dupont for the<br />
aerospace industry, the foil is<br />
designed to withstand extremes of<br />
After looking at other applications,<br />
Fortis found that the Frontrunner<br />
Entrance flooring system would<br />
provide the perfect solution. This<br />
comprises various options based on<br />
a vinyl grid with absorbent parallel<br />
insets which clean, scrape and dry<br />
shoes effectively.<br />
Here however, the more aggressive<br />
version of Frontrunner Brush was<br />
chosen where the normal<br />
absorbent insets are replaced with<br />
high quality nylon brushes. Because<br />
of its flexibility, the matting contours<br />
perfectly over the paving,<br />
whilst remaining stable underfoot.<br />
Chamfered edges, on three sides of<br />
the 1.22 x 3.2m matting, facilitate<br />
easy access, particularly for the<br />
disabled and trolleys.<br />
It was also simple to<br />
install the matting<br />
on site to fit perfectly<br />
with the awkward<br />
curved shape<br />
around the revolving<br />
door. When<br />
required, the matting<br />
can be lifted<br />
easily to clean up<br />
shoe dirt which has<br />
been shed through<br />
the grid instead of<br />
being transferred<br />
inside.<br />

temperature variation and ultra<br />
violet light exposure. These properties<br />
are vital where large areas of<br />
PVC are subjected to heat buildup.<br />
The foil is exclusive to<br />
Celuform and is the highest specification<br />
product of its kind available<br />
in the UK.<br />
Because Expresso Brown is available<br />
for the Conquest fascia system,<br />
as well as Open V-Joint<br />
cladding, the whole frontage of a<br />
property can be clad in matching<br />
dark brown roofline and weatherboarding.<br />
Celuform offers a wide range of<br />
foiled and coloured profiles that<br />
are guaranteed against fading and<br />
changes in colour.<br />
