When Tenpin decided
to reconfigure the layout of its leisure complex in Hounslow and embark on a
complete refurbishment, it was in need of practical flooring that could cope
with a high level of footfall, and Amtico proved to be the perfect choice.
The Amtico Signature
collection was used in the approach to the bowling lanes to direct the player
to the game, while also making the bowlers’ lanes distinct from one another.
The design agency,
Dover Design, achieved this by devising their own bespoke laying pattern,
utilising Amtico’s precision cutting capabilities to create triangle-shaped LVT
tiles.
Amtico Carpet tiles
were used throughout the rest of the facility, as they are hard wearing, easy
to replace and allowed the design team to create specific zones. They also
helped create the illusion of pathways through the layout, guiding visitors to
different zones.
Tenpin had recently
undergone a branding refresh to include a brighter secondary colour palette
with pinks, purples and oranges. Dover Design was enlisted to create a dynamic
environment in keeping with the updated branding.
“This scheme is all
about energy, colour and movement and the Amtico Signature collection was
perfect for this. Plus, the Amtico Carpet tiles allowed us to introduce a
slight variation within the grey palette in order to indicate route ways around
the layout,” said Laura Fenner from Dover Design. “We used lighter greys with
the darker carpet tiles to direct customers to the reception.
“For us, the whole
process went seamlessly. We have worked with Amtico products before and will
definitely be specifying them again in the future.”
