Novelio Nature, one of the most innovative wall covering solutions from Saint-Gobain Adfors, was the choice of the Best Western Hotel Halland and the renovation of its restaurant, The Square.
The main purpose of the renovation project, according to Joakim Torbing, one of the owners of the popular hotel, was to improve the eatery, which is one of the hotel’s most high traffic areas, by creating a cosy and warm environment that would give guests a more “home from home” feeling.
With this in mind, some of the walls were covered with Novelio Nature Charm Sandbank a neutral and mellow tone, while others were embellished with Novelio Nature Charm Baltic Blue coverings, creating a stylish contrast and perfectly matching the new lamps and floor of the restaurant.
Impact resistant, fireproof and extremely durable, Novelio Nature is built to cope with the demands of hotel activity, such as the high traffic of guests.
Delivered ready to use, straightforward to install, and requiring no painting or finish, Novelio Nature is an effective way to achieve a high-end look to any environment.
The solution pleased both hotel owners and guests: “It feels like a very exclusive wallcovering. The new lamps together with the wallcoverings create a really nice atmosphere in the restaurant and we have only received positive comments from our guests.”
A winning project from a design perspective proved to be a wise decision from a management point of view. Due to the practicality of the Novelio Nature wallcovering, which is easy to install, and immediately ready to use after application, the renovation was completed within two days, and the team managed to do it without affecting the normal operation of the restaurant.
“I was surprised with how fast the painter managed to apply the wallcovering,” Torbing confesses. “Time was essential in this project, as we couldn’t shut down the restaurant for a day or two, so it really helped that the product was easy to install.”
Erik Nilsson, the painter who applied the Novelio Nature wallcoverings reinforces: “People are getting tired of just white. I want to change the colours of some of the walls in my own apartment and the colours of Novelio Nature are just right.”
Apart from an appealing look, Novelio Nature wallcoverings offer durability, which means the walls covered will look good for longer. Impact resistant, fireproof and washable, Novelio Nature stands as the ideal solution for “high traffic environments”, such as restaurants, bars and hotels.
Giving walls several lives and maintaining an attractive finish, it can help reduce the need for frequent investment on refurbishment, as well as the associated waste and costs. Being repaintable, they are also low maintenance, as they help to keep the buildings looking newer for longer, reducing maintenance costs.
A highly functional wall protection system with a natural feel, Novelio Nature is suitable to withstand daily wear and tear in hospitality developments, but also suitable for residential application, as well as schools, healthcare facilities and commercial office spaces.
