Freudenberg showcases sustainable solutions at Techtextil 2024

Freudenberg Performance Materials (Freudenberg) is showcasing solutions for the automotive, building, apparel, filtration and packaging industries at this year’s Techtextil in Frankfurt am Main from April 23 – 26.

Sustainable nonwoven for car seats
One innovation highlight at Techtextil is a novel Polyester nonwoven material for car seat padding. Also available as a nonwoven composite with PU foam, it is not only easier for car seat manufacturers to handle during the mounting process, but also ensures better dimensional stability as well as providing soft and flexible padding. It has a minimum 25 percent recycled content, for example, by reusing nonwoven clippings and waste, and is fully recyclable. Full supply chain transparency enables customers to trace and verify the content of the nonwoven and thus ensures a responsible production process. The Freudenberg experts will also be presenting several other nonwoven solutions made of up to 80 percent recycled materials that can be used in car seat manufacturing.

Biocarrier for green roofs
Freudenberg is showcasing a sustainable carrier material for green roofs on urban buildings at the trade fair. The carrier is made from polylactide, i.e. from renewable resources. When filled with soil, it provides a strong foothold to root systems, enabling the growth of lightweight sedum blankets that can be rolled out to provide instant green roofs. These roofs not only help counter urban heat, they also improve stormwater management and regulate indoor temperatures.

From textile waste to padding
The company extended its circular thermal wadding product range with the release of comfortemp® HO 80xR circular, a wadding made from 70 percent recycled polyamide from discarded fishing nets, carpet flooring and industrial plastic. Because polyamide 6, also known as nylon, retains its performance characteristics after multiple recycling processes, the fibers can be used again and again to manufacture performance sporting apparel, leisurewear and luxury garments.

Packaging solutions with various sustainability benefits
Freudenberg is also showcasing products for sustainable packaging and filtration solutions. The long-lasting Evolon® technical packaging series is a substitute for disposable packaging used in the transport of sensitive industrial items such as automotive parts. The material is made from up to 85 percent recycled PET. A further highlight at Techtextil are Freudenberg’s fully bio-based solutions for manufacturing dessicant bags. The binder-free material based on bio-fibers is also industrially compostable.
In addition, the experts will be giving trade fair visitors an insight into Freudenberg’s filtration portfolio.

Shanghai - For the 22nd edition, each flooring sector will have a theme. The highlighted product category in wood is solid wood for ground heating systems. The category is taking over the entire hall showing new technologies, new designs and new products in floor heating. Solid wood for ground heating systems is growing in China – according to China National Forest Products Industry Association, around 80% of China's wood flooring brands have developed the product.

At the same time the market share is increasing by more than 30% annually. It is expected that by 2025, the market size of solid wood for ground heating systems will reach RMB 10 billion (approx. 1.4 billion USD). The international and local market leaders, such as Junckers, Foglie d’Oro, Edelholz, IBF, Teclic, Nature, Fudeli, Bloor, Jinyi, Licher, Nuogao and Moganshan have already confirmed their participation at the show. Also in this hall we see the latest developments in the market in the dedicated InnovAction campaign.

The resilient flooring section will be spread out to 69,500 sqm gross, featuring Stone Plastic Composite (SPC) flooring. Among the resilient halls, there will be an “Inspiration Hall”, housing InnovAction campaign and design forum, where famous interior designers will educate the audience on using resilient flooring in interior. The InnovAction will be upgraded by showcasing the new products within matching interior spaces. This new way of presenting the InnovAction products is ideal for both manufacturers to share the ideas and for visitors to keep up to date with the market trends.

Carpet section will promote carpet as a driving force for interior design, with a dedicated hall being the epicenter of home and design carpets and the host hall for the Luxury Brands Carpet Show – a showcase of the most sought-after international high-end carpet design brands. After the successful first edition in 2019, Chinese Original Carpet Design Show comes back to promote the works of young Chinese carpet designers. Country pavilions from Germany, Belgium, Iran and Turkey will also showcase their products among the carpet halls. Traditionally DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR has been focused on B2B, however due to the market changes, the end users are more and more welcome to the show. In order to give the oriental carpets and rugs the spotlight and follow the trends, Indian and Afghanistan pavilions will be creating a new area - “Treasure of Orient”.

In 2020, DOMOTEX asia/CHINAFLOOR will cover more than 185,000 sqm of gross space, taking up 16 halls at the Shanghai New International Expo Center. Five of the exhibition halls will be dedicated to carpets and rugs, four to wood, bamboo and other hard floors, 2 to FLOORTECH asia and 5 halls to resilient floor coverings. In 2019, the show gathered 1,579 exhibitors from 36 countries and attracted 66,875 trade visitors, of which 15,092 international, coming from 107 nations.

Preparations are already ramping up for the 2020 edition of the world’s leading trade show for carpets and floor coverings DOMOTEX. The upcoming show, to be held from 10 to 13 January 2020, has ATMYSPHERE as its keynote theme, symbolizing its central focus on all those qualities of floors and floor coverings that contribute to wellbeing, naturalness and sustainability.
 
Examples of products from the floor coverings industry that possess these qualities include floors with acoustic properties or sound-insulation components; carpets that bind fine dust particles or have thermal insulation properties; resilient floor coverings that are hypo-allergenic; and natural-wood floorboards that improve the interior climate by capturing excess humidity and releasing it again when the air in the room is dry. Other qualities that enhance positive indoor atmospherics include softness and pleasantness to the touch, sustainability, and aesthetic details that help transform rooms into oases of personal wellbeing.
 
“This year, as indeed in previous years, the lead theme is inspired by a current megatrend,” explains Sonia Wedell-Castellano, Deutsche Messe’s Global Director DOMOTEX. “And that trend is society’s heightened focus on health. Health is synonymous with quality of life and living well – and therefore translates into high expectations of the spaces around us. Alongside this, considerations of sustainability and recycling – and hence natural materials – continue to play a major role in our society. In terms of floor coverings, these are considerations and themes that are currently very much to the fore with our exhibitors and their work, especially given the great importance of floors as elements of creative interior design. With the right materials and design, carpets and floor coverings can be important factors in personal wellbeing and in the design of homes and workplaces that promote it. That is why ATMYSPHERE is of such definitive importance for all our exhibitors and visitor target groups.”

The “Framing Trends” showcase at DOMOTEX 2020 is a unique opportunity for manufacturers, artists and students to stage interior designs inspired by the ATMYSPHERE keynote theme and hence position themselves as trend leaders in innovative products and solutions for today’s modern floors and their positive, lifeaffirming qualities. Applications for participation at the “Framing Trends” showcase  are now open. Interested exhibitors and flooring-industry companies are invited to submit their ideas for displays of indoor oases of wellbeing that are built from the floor up.

Success Stories: Aussteller der DOMOTEX ermöglichen innovative Raumgestaltung

Die hohe Zahl an Anmeldungen für die DOMOTEX 2019 weist schon jetzt auf eine erfolgreiche Messe vom 11. – 14. Januar in Hannover hin. Viele der Aussteller sind bereits dabei, den Messeauftritt detailliert vorzubereiten, um ihre Produktneuheiten optimal zu präsentieren – die Vorbereitungen laufen auf Hochtouren. Das neue Leitthema „CREATE’N’CONNECT“ der DOMOTEX rückt den Megatrend der Konnektivität in den Fokus. Für den Boden mit seinen vielseitigen gestalterischen Möglichkeiten spielt der Trend der „Vernetzung“ eine besondere Rolle. Er bildet die Basis der Räume, in denen wir leben und arbeiten.

Wichtige Impulse und Inspirationen für den Boden der Zukunft bietet die Sonderfläche „Framing Trends“ in Halle 9. Hier können Aussteller und Unternehmen der Fußbodenbranche ihre kreativen Ideen anhand des aktuellen Leitthemas darstellen. Durch ihre inspirierende Wirkung ziehen die „Framing Trends“ Hersteller und Besucher aus aller Welt an. Als globale kommunikative Plattform ermöglicht es ihnen die DOMOTEX, sich im Sinne von „CREATE’N’CONNEXT“ mit Ausstellern zu vernetzen, woraus vielfältige Kooperationen entstehen.

Mit ihren innovativen Produkten sind Aussteller der DOMOTEX 2019 bei Interior Design-Projekten in aller Welt präsent. Internationale Architekten und Innenarchitekten setzen ihre Teppiche, Fußböden und Verlegetechniken gezielt ein, um kreativ gestaltete Räume zu schaffen, bei denen der Boden zum verbindenden Element des Gesamtkonzepts wird.

Vom historischen Ballroom in Chicago über einen Bookstore mit Café in Oslo bis zum neuen Allianz Stadion in Wien: Architekten, Interior Designer und Planer binden die Bodengestaltung in ihr kreatives Konzept ein, um dem Interieur den letzten Schliff zu verleihen, der ein harmonisches Ganzes bewirkt. Teppichfliesen, handgefertigte Teppiche, Holzfußböden und Verlegewerkstoffe der Aussteller Oriental Weavers, Galleria Battilossi, Chapel Parket sowie Classen, Fletco und Uzin Utz, die auf der DOMOTEX ihre Premiere hatten, sind ein wichtiger Bestandteil dieser trendorientierten Rauminszenierungen.

Der Boden als verbindendes Element des Interior-Konzepts

Das Blackstone Hotel wurde 1910 in der Innenstadt von Chicago erbaut. Zur Renovierung der Räume entwarf The Gettys Group ein neues Interior Design, das sich harmonisch mit den Wänden und Decken im historistischen Stil verbindet. Für den Crystal Ballroom, besonders beliebt als Location für Hochzeiten, wurden Oriental Weavers aus Ägypten mit der Sonderanfertigung eines überdimensionalen Axminster Teppichs beauftragt. Der Teppich besteht aus 80 Prozent Wolle mit einem Polyamidanteil von 20 Prozent, um ihn strapazierfähig zu machen. Das symmetrische Muster erinnert an riesige Wellen, die auf die direkte Nähe des Hotels zum Lake Michigan anspielen und trägt zu einem einzigartigen Raumerlebnis bei. Oriental Weavers werden auch 2019 auf der DOMOTEX hervorragende Kreationen aus dem Bereich  maschinengewebte Teppiche ausstellen.

Gebrüder Thonet Vienna hat seinen Hauptsitz nach Turin in ein ehemaliges Fabrikgebäude verlegt. In der Mitte des neuen Showrooms werden Klassiker des Möbelherstellers in hohen Regalbauten gezeigt, an den Seiten sind zeitgenössische Modelle zu sehen, die in Kooperation mit renommierten Designern entstanden. Für die Gestaltung des repräsentativen Empfangsbereichs wählte CEO Riccardo Pigati handgefertigte Wollteppiche aus dem Programm von Galleria Battilossi, deren innovative „Pattern Mix Collection“ auf der DOMOTEX einen Carpet Design Award gewann. Die Gelb- und Beigetöne des Unikats aus dem „Color Jam Project“ sowie eines Vintage Berberteppichs aus der Region Beni Ourain verbinden sich mit Farbakzenten der Exponate zu einem harmonischen Gesamtbild aus alt und neu. „Qualität und handwerkliche Fertigkeiten, Originalität und Authentizität“ seien Werte, die sein Unternehmen mit Galleria Battilossi teile, sagt Pigati. „Aufgrund dieser Verbundenheit haben wir uns dafür entschieden, unseren
Showroom mit den außergewöhnlichen Teppichen aufzuwerten“.

In Oslo teilen sich eine Boutique-Abteilung für Damenmode und ein angegliederter Buchladen mit Café im zweiten Stock des YME Multistores einen gemeinsamen Bodenbelag. Bei der Gestaltung der 330 qm großen Bodenfläche entschied sich das Designteam der YME Studios gemeinsam mit den Innenarchitekten des Osloer Büros Snøhetta für die „Hermitage Herringbone“ Serie von Chapel Parket. Den lebendigen Holzboden in drei konstrastierenden Farbtönen wählten sie aufgrund seiner leicht rauen Oberfläche und der ausdrucksvollen Farbigkeit aus. Das Schwarz der Parkettelemente verbindet sich mit den Fensterrahmen und den Bücherregalen, die warmen Holztöne harmonieren mit dem Vintage-Sofa und grob belassenen Holzbalken. Wie in den vergangenen Jahren ist Chapel Parket mit seinen charaktervollen Holzböden auch Aussteller auf der DOMOTEX 2019.

Direkt an der Mosel, in einem denkmalgeschützten Gebäude in Cochem, befindet sich das Boutique Hotel Villa Vie. Inhaber Theodor Steidel hat die Gästezimmer selbst geplant und eingerichtet, jedes hat seinen individuellen Charme. Antike Möbelstücke kombiniert er mit aktuellem Design und Kunstgegenständen. Zur Abrundung der Interieurs entschied sich der Hotelier für die robusten und PVC-freien Designböden aus der „SONO Skyline“ Kollektion von Classen aufgrund ihrer Langlebigkeit, dem geräuscharmen Auftritt und der natürlich wirkenden Holzdekore mit leicht glänzender Optik. „Der Boden passt sich dem Mix aus wertvollen Antiquitäten und modernen hochwertigen Möbelstücken ausgezeichnet 4 an,“ erklärt Theodor Steidel. Zudem nähme er sich wohlwollend zurück und besteche doch durch seine Struktur und Haptik. Bei der Ausstattung der Räume habe Steidel nach einem „hochwertigen Produkt mit modernem Design gesucht, das bestens gegen Feuchtigkeit geschützt ist.“ Auch im Badbereich hat er sich deshalb für einen Boden aus der „SONO“ Kollektion entschieden, die auf der DOMOTEX als Messeneuheit vorgestellt wurde.

Der Softwarehersteller Playtech hat in Tallin neue Büroräume auf einer Gesamtfläche von 3200 qm bezogen. Jan Skolimowski vom Architekturbüro KAMP legt in seinem Designkonzept besonderen Wert auf die Bodengestaltung. Als Leitidee für die Innenräume nutzte Skolimowski das Dreieck des „Play“- Buttons, ein grafisches Element des blauen Playtech Logos. „Deshalb habe ich nach einem passenden Teppichboden für den Objektbereich gesucht, dessen Dekore und Farbpalette zum Logo passen. Die Kollektion Sebastian Wrong by Fletco  war meine erste und einzige Wahl.“ Im Zentrum der Räume ließ der Architekt dunklere Töne der Fliesenkollektion verlegen, zu den Außenwänden hin werden die Nuancen heller. Dadurch wirken die Büros noch großzügiger. Vom Boden ausgehend nimmt sein Interior-Konzept Dreiecksformen und Blautöne auf, beispielsweise bei Sitzkissen auf Holzpodesten, dem Empfangstresen oder dekorativen Wandelementen. So vernetzen sich die Böden mit Möbeln und Wänden. Der Londoner Designer Sebastian Wrong präsentierte seine wandlungsfähige Kollektion für den Hersteller Fletco erstmals auf der DOMOTEX.

In einer Bauzeit von nur 17 Monaten wurden im Allianz Stadion des SK Rapid Wien 10.000 qm Boden fertiggestellt und 8.000 qm Vinylbelag verlegt. Maßgeblich für das Gelingen des Bauprojekts war das richtige Timing für die Untergrundvorbereitung mit Verlegewerkstoffen von Uzin Utz. In der Regel messen Estrichfelder bis zu 40 qm, auf dieser Baustelle kamen bis zu 300 qm große Felder zustande. Denn der Boden der Business-Lounge-Bereiche auf zwei Ebenen sollte möglichst fugenfrei sein, um Vinyl- Bahnen großflächig verlegen zu können und die einheitliche ästhetische Wirkung zu erreichen, die sich Architekt Guido Pfaffhausen wünschte. Deshalb wurde über alle Fugen zwischen den Betonbauteilen das Glasvlies RR 203 von Uzin Utz als Rissbrücke verlegt und mit der standfesten Spachtelmasse NC 182 dünn eingespachtelt sowie 5 verschlossen. Durch diese Vorgehensweise musste der Estrich weder eingeschnitten noch verdübelt werden, ein wichtiger Aspekt des Interior-Konzepts. Nach dem Schleifen und Grundieren trugen die Bodenleger die selbstverlaufende Ausgleichsmasse Uzin NC 160 in zwei bis drei mm Stärke im Rakelverfahren auf. Sie ist spannungsarm, sehr fließfähig und bildet völlig ebene  Untergründe. Durch die besonders glatte Oberfläche und die hohe Saugfähigkeit reduziert sich zudem die benötigte Klebstoffmenge: Der Kleber trocknet schneller und weist weniger Resteindruck bei Belastung auf. Nach einem Tag war die Spachtelung begehbar, dann konnte geschliffen, die Vinylbahnen zugeschnitten und verklebt werden.

Auf beiden Ebenen der Business- Lounge, in Fluren, Gängen, Konferenzzimmern und VIP-Logen sind Vinyl-Objektbeläge von Forbo Flooring in Holz- und Beton-Dekor in verschiedenen Farbabstufungen verlegt. Die moderne Betonoptik der Vinyl-Objektbeläge sorgt im großen Loungebereich für ein modernes Erscheinungsbild, authentische Holzdessins setzen harmonische Akzente in den VIP-Logen. Die Beläge wurden mit dem emissionsarmen Universalklebstoff Uzin KE 16 formstabil verlegt, um die Anforderungen an Optik und Funktionalität im Stadion zu erfüllen.

Für die Bodengestaltung ist der Trend der „Vernetzung“ von großer Bedeutung. Der Boden ist Designelement, er inspiriert uns, gibt uns Orientierung – und verbindet uns miteinander. Auf die Bodenbranche trifft dies im besonderen Maße zu, da er die Basis für alles bildet. Die DOMOTEX ist Weltleitmesse sowie die größte Innovations- und Trendplattform der Branche. Als jährliches Highlight der Szene regt die Messe Aussteller und Besucher mit ihrer lebendigen Atmosphäre zu kreativer Zusammenarbeit an.
