The safety's colors

The aesthetic concept represents a growing demand even when it comes to primarily functional products as are, for example, the passive protection solutions

such as grilles and security shutters.

In a market where making a difference means offering a diversified and quality service, the winning road ahead is the innovation and synergy between skills’ one.

This is the operating logic adopted by the Erreci Security, in Lodi's province, certified and patented in Europe security systems’ manufacturer, which has chosen Ripol as a partner as well as supplier of powder coated products, to look for overall innovative and propositive solutions, starting from the individual customer’s request.

“Ripol is a company with multiple added values – says Alfredo Rizzi, Erreci Security’s owner.

Among those who we appreciate the most there are environmental awareness, attention to safety at work and the thoroughness with which it undertakes to establish a partnership with the customer, besides of course the products’ quality, which all conform to UNI EN ISO 9001 (2000).

Ripol is able to establish the correct communication channel

both inside and outside the company: they undertake to respond promptly to various customer needs, pursuing a policy of constant improvement, ad we also do indeed”.

Erreci Security is a dynamic business that has been able to enrich of project contents
a much felt need in our days: house protection and security.

Powder painting, in this case, in addition to corrosion protection of metal grates, also has an aesthetic function studied both to integrate with the buildings’ style and to propose solutions that give value to the technical closures, choice made easier by the customer service that Ripol ensures with the study of necessary colors and delivery in quick times.

Waterborne UV curing coating for a 5 stars hotel: sustainability and high performances

Overlooking the Old City of Jerusalem, the five-star David Citadel Hotel of Alrov Group, designed in 1998 by Moshe Safdie, the Israeli architect naturalized Canadian winner of the AIA Gold Medal award, is the south side of the Mamilla Quarter, in front of the historic Valley Hinome, according to a

horseshoe plan. The outer covering is made of a rough local limestone, while the interior is covered with wood walls and wood false ceilings.

All common areas, 385 guestrooms and suites have been redesigned and spread over 8 floors of the

building, according to a design by the Italian Lissoni Associati who, by keeping the use of traditional

materials and colours complemented by other alternative ones treated in an original way, designed

the environment as a maze enhanced by the study of natural and artificial light, rich in vegetation.

A rich palette of colours, lights, textured fabrics, parts made of brass treated with different finishes joined with glasses printed on the back, with a central idea connected to the use of wood, oak for the

floor, the heat-treated eucalyptus for the walls and the furniture in the common areas and suites,

characterize and personalize all the areas, both public and the private ones of the rooms.

«The mood of each room is characterised by the prevalence of some "colours" - tells us Alessandro Simonato, manager of the office design of the Tino Sana company located in Almenno S. Bartolomeo (in the province Bergamo) who has been commissioned to manufacture all the furniture - especially the eucalyptus heat-treated dark wood, iron or burnished brass, and the "Mondrian effect" obtained with surfaces made of brass treated  in different ways, mirrors, glasses printed on the back».

Belonging to an international luxury hotel chain with high quality and surface resistance requirements

suggested Tino Sana design office to choose carefully materials and finishes.

«In the rooms – goes on Simonato – we chose, instead of heat-treated eucalyptus wood, some veneered panels with pre-dyed wood coated with waterborne UV curing paints, for "coarse", visual effect so as to enhance the matt wood».

Thanks to the cooperation of Elia Maestroni, Key Account Manager of IVM Chemicals company and the technical support of the R&D laboratory, it has been developed a coating cycle that allows to reach a surface resistance comparable to other non-wood finishes, which is an essential feature for hotel furnishing of a hotel, of course, that is subjected to large mechanical stresses and to the use of detergents for cleaning.

Wooden floors: natural unevenesses for a sustainable product

The presence on the market of materials

alternative to wood that reproduce its aesthetic

appearance  has changed the perception of the

consumer, which tends to ask for  floors with  large

sizes  or “herringbone” recovering the idea of

the floors "nailed down" of the past and with natural

appearance.

For durability and surface resistance requirements and

in order to make easier the maintenance, the market

actually includes almost only industrially treated

and coated floors that guarantee a stable quality.

Naturalness and old floors atmosphere: to meet these

trends, Tavar floors finish can be obtained also by

using dyed reagents, both traditional and waterborne.

A long sustainability’s path

There are big Italian companies, known all

over the world that, without prejudices, did

something in –depth  and compared with the

territory that goes on over time despite the crisis

periods, the production changes, the normal difficulties

that are part of the “undertake”.

Since seventy years Snaidero, located in Majano, in the

province of Udine, manufactures kitchens by applying

its own tradition and experience in the technological

research and innovation. The company has moved from

the original idea to produce kitchens by using serial

concepts -are an inspiration the “American kitchens”- to

the current “smart kitchen” - the English

word “smart” includes different shades of the concept:

elegance and attractiveness, creative and reactive

intelligence - able to give intelligent solutions, really

flexible, very competitive in term of costs, at the same

time, with a high quality level; these latter features

typical of Made in Italy excellence, that can be seen in the

success of foreign market (essentially American but also

English, Turkish and of the Far East), which accounts for

50% of the annual turnover, complementary to the other

50 of national market. But the philosophy which is the

guiding principle for the company’s productive choices is

still the man, both as buyer and worker. The attention for

these areas took Snaidero 10 years ago to install a plant

able to coat with waterborne products and to choose for

a large part of production, low environmental impact

coatings (high solid UV, for example) and UV waterborne

finish.

Long lasting and high quality level powder coatings for a leader company in the “contract” furniture industry

«Each product must have a reason to exist.

This in the truth that emerges from the

selection of exemplary products which

represent best the success that Segis has realized».

This expression, quoted in Segis website, an Italian

company located in Poggibonsi in the province of Siena, a company leader in design and manufacturing

of innovative and high quality level seating for contract industry, describes exactly the company’s philosophy: to manufacture what can be useful to the market, paying attention to the

strictest International quality standard, looking for

the best materials, finishes and focusing the whole

productive process on a manufacturing in accordance

with the environmental sustainability principles.

Everything reflects Franco Dominici’s thoughts, creator

and founder of the company in 1983 and today in the

company together with his son Francesco.

THE IMPORTANCE OF FINISHES

Quality furniture requires an appropriate coating,

which meets at the same time, protection and aesthetic

needs, especially now when architects and designers

are increasingly directed towards the use of material

“as it is”.

«We need always more to use “natural effect” coatings

–tells us Nicola Stangherlin architect.

In particular for Minà collection, which includes

modern kitchens (island or wall), which remember the

industrial style ones (with for example many details

made of cast-iron); we needed finishes reproducing

the iron effect (corten, oxidation in its

different shades, zinc).

The coatings’ role is essential: they do not only

reproduce materials, but the effects too, in addition to

have aesthetic and protective functions».
