BSW expands its range of
services offered on the Internet. As of
now, visitors to the company’s
website can use the BSW flooring
designer to mix their own surface
colours for BSW seamless safety
and sports flooring and project
them onto application photos provided.
The colour combinations
and photo montages created by the
users themselves appear very realistic
and give project planners
designers a vivid impression of the
respective selected colour scheme
and surface structure. BSW expects that the BSW flooring designer will primarily
be used for the playfix seamless safety flooring and part of the range of Regupol
sports flooring. In addition to the colour mixture function, a large part of the
textures of the everroll sports and performance flooring is included in the programme.
They can be selected and dragged into the application photos to display
their visual effect on larger surfaces. The colour patterns created with the aid of
the BSW flooring designer can be printed out and saved for project planners and
companies carrying out the work to include them into their own planning, bidding
and presentation documents.
BSW will shortly also enable photo-realistic colour mixtures within the range of
its everroll mycreation flooring system. The BSW flooring designer is available at
www.berleburger.com under the Downloads and Services/BSW flooring designer
menu item.
equipment, has been designed with nature in mind: The elements promote outdoor
activities and deliberately seek to follow in mother nature’s footsteps with
regard to design.
“For just like in nature, Terramo has few right angles and as far as possible avoids
symmetry: as it is the case with a spider’s web or a tree, the individual components
are similar but never exactly the same,” says Marc Bähring, product manager
for outdoor play equipment at Wehrfritz. The individual Terramo elements are
varied and of an unobtrusive design to blend harmoniously with the surrounding
landscape. The colouring is also inspired by nature: fresh green is set against earthy
brown, while copper orange adds a bright and vibrant touch.
The Terramo play elements are designed to provide plenty of opportunities for free,
imaginative and creative play and with their highly stimulative nature they encourage
children to come up with play ideas of their own. Users are often deliberately
left in the dark about what will or is to happen. Due to the various levels of difficulty,
children can decide for themselves how much risk they are prepared to
take. Wehrfritz has developed the nature-oriented play spaces
in close co-operation with the Forschungsstelle für
Frei- und Spielraumplanung (FFS/ research centre
for open space and playground planning).
The interdisciplinary planning office implements
nature-oriented open space design
and does research on the subjects of early
childhood, promotion of child development
and learning support. Those who opt for a
nature-oriented playground concept by
Wehrfritz, get both theoretical and practical
expert knowledge. More information on the
planning, design and implementation as
well as on the Terramo range can be
found in the new Wehrfritz handbook.
