At COBA Africa, our CPD presentations are carefully crafted to address critical aspects of flooring solutions in the built environment. We empower architectural professionals with the knowledge to specify products that enhance safety, functionality, and design from the very beginning of a project. Our latest CPD Presentation Session was with SAGE Architects. Find out how you can benefit from a CPD session below.
What Do Our CPD Presentations Cover?
1.The Importance of Entrance Matting System:
Entrance matting is a crucial yet often underestimated element in building design. Our presentation explores:
- Safety Benefits: How effective entrance matting reduces slip and trip hazards by trapping dirt, moisture, and debris at entry points. Overall, creating safer environments for building occupants.
- Cost Efficiency: The long-term financial benefits of reducing floor wear and cleaning costs. This is achieved by preventing external contaminants from spreading through the building.
- Durability and Aesthetics: How selecting the right mat ensures not only functionality but also complements the building’s overall design and traffic demands.
- Customisation Options: Understanding how tailored matting solutions can address unique challenges. This includes high-traffic entrances or extreme weather conditions, for optimal performance.
2.Understanding Floor Trims and Cover Plates:
Floor trims and cover plates are essential components that contribute to the safety and durability of flooring systems. This presentation highlights:
- Protective Role: How floor trims shield the edges of flooring materials from damage caused by foot traffic, furniture movement, or environmental factors.
- Seamless Transitions: The importance of cover plates in creating smooth transitions between different floor levels or materials, reducing trip hazards and improving accessibility for all users.
- Compliance with Standards: How using high-quality trims and plates, like those in the CAT Aluminium Floor Trim range, ensures adherence to building safety codes and regulations.
- Design Integration: The role of trims and plates in enhancing the aesthetic continuity of a space by blending functionality with design.
