HAMMERING HOME THE NEED FOR SOPHISTICATED
STUDENT ACCOMMODATION
With the standard repetitive fixtures and
fittings no longer ticking the box for student
accommodation design, Maxwell Green Design
Ltd enlisted the help of Forbo Flooring Systems
to breathe a new lease of life into the communal
areas of iQ Student Accommodation’s new
property in Hammersmith, London.
Lisa Green, Director of Maxwell Green Design Ltd,
commented: “The student accommodation market
is very di erent to how it was 10 years ago, with
the old design model of plain and simple furniture
and floor coverings that exude little character, no
longer suitable for the students of today. Instead,

they crave designs that reflect societal and even
geographical trends. Therefore, when it came to
designing iQ’s new building, we took inspiration
from this very cosmopolitan region of London.
“Within the communal area, there were many
di erent spaces, such as a games room, study
area and even a cinema room, which all required
their own identity, yet needed to be connected
seamlessly. While we were able to add personality
to each room with furniture, wall coverings and so
furnishings, we wanted to do something striking
with the floor, so it didn’t just become a backdrop.
As such, within the main Atrium space, we specified
Forbo’s Tessera Layout and Outline carpet tiles in
a plank format. With this choice, we were able to
create a bold, monochrome striped design that
would lead the eye naturally through the space
and to the various study and break out areas,
while complementing the neon colour pops used
throughout.”
The Tessera Layout and Outline carpet tiles were
chosen in the contemporary Mono and Frosting
colourways to create maximum impact when people
first enter the space.
Lisa continued: “Within the screen room we
required a so er aesthetic, so we decided to opt for
a di erent floor covering. We chose Forbo’s Flotex
Concrete planks as the velvety texture provided a
comfortable feel underfoot, while being durable
enough to cope with food and drink spillages.”
Forbo’s Flotex flocked floor covering is the only
product available on the market that combines the
appeal of a textile floor covering, with the practical
and hygienic advantages of a resilient. It is also
available in a wide range of colours, designs, and
formats including sheet, tile and plank, or designers
can have their own pattern – or logo – printed onto
the surface for a completely unique aesthetic.

GOJO LAUNCHES PURELL PERFECT
PLACEMENT PROGRAMME
Skin health and surface hygiene
expert, GOJO Industries-Europe Ltd,
introduces new initiative to prevent
germs from leaving the washroom.
If people have not washed their
hands properly, they can spread
germs onto the door handle and
the other surfaces that they touch
when they leave the washroom.
In fact, research has revealed that
one single contaminated door handle can infect up to 60% of the occupants of a
building within just four hours. To help tackle this problem and break the chain
of infection, GOJO has launched the PURELL PERFECT PLACEMENT programme.
Designed to encourage hand hygiene compliance and reduce the number
of germs leaving the washroom, the PURELL Perfect Placement programme
recommends placing a PURELL dispenser by the washroom exit door. It should
be positioned between 36" to 46" above the floor, on the handle side, which is
the perfect height to trigger proper hand hygiene behaviour and prevent the
transmission of bacteria from door handles.
Customers who partner with GOJO also have access to a host of PURELL
PERFECT PLACEMENT marketing materials including:
• A customisable E-Shot, which can include the distributor’s logo and
contact details
• A selection of web banners to help raise awareness of the campaign
• Social media content and messaging to help engage with the target audience
• Posters and Infographics to encourage hygienic behaviours in end users.
