Renewing instead of disposing – a contribution to an environmentally conscious and sustainable building culture
More than half of all waste in industrialized countries comes from the construction industry. BONA, a global company with more than a hundred years of expertise in floor care, has developed a process that allows resilient floors made of linoleum, PVC, rubber or LVT that show signs of wear or are no longer aesthetically pleasing to be renewed in the shortest possible time and at significantly lower cost while the floor is still in use.
With a color collection specially developed for sustainable floors, consisting of feel-good colors for the health care sector that harmonize with the room colors of specific uses, we at the Institute for Color Psychology ensure that this method is a worldwide success. Die BONA Health Care Color Collection im Resilient System für elastische Böden schafft ein Angebot für Architekten, Innenarchitekten, Techniker und Betreiber, das es so bisher nicht gegeben hat – Aufarbeiten statt Wegwerfen – zu geringeren Kosten, in kürzerer Zeit und mit höherer Wirksamkeit für das Wohlbefinden aller Nutzer.
This is because the colours in this collection not only look more beautiful than new products in the context of the specified room colours, but they are also specially tailored to the needs of the users.
Biophilia – The colors of nature
Nature has always had a fascinating effect on us humans. But did you know that even a simple look at nature can have a significant positive impact on your health and well-being? This phenomenon is the subject of intensive research in various scientific fields – from psychology and neuroscience to environmental science. Biophilia is a term coined by the American biologist E.O. Wilson and literally means “love of nature” (Wilson, 1984). He describes the innate relationship between humans and nature, which was deeply rooted in our evolutionary history and is crucial for the survival of our species. (Kellert & Wilson, 1993).
Not only the direct view of nature, but also the natural design of interiors, for example with plants, natural materials and colors, creates many positive effects on our well-being and our health. This aspect of spatial design and environmental psychology is therefore of central importance for the entire construction sector. Progressive and humanistic interior design that creates a natural atmosphere contributes decisively to the well-being, health and motivation of users.
Our colour collection for resilient floor coverings includes three specially developed colour sets that are tailored to the requirements of different areas of application. The Health Care Color Collection offers soft, soothing shades for the healthcare sector that create a pleasant atmosphere. The Education Color Collection includes stimulating yet harmonious colors that are ideal for educational spaces. For the office sector, the Office Color Collection offers subtle, professional shades that support a modern working environment. Each set has been designed to blend harmoniously with the design of walls, ceilings and furniture, helping to create an aesthetically pleasing yet naturally healthy indoor climate.
