Eco—Premium Solutions

It’s not just about the workout.  Gyms are stepping up their aesthetics by tapping into design to create amazing spaces— calming or energising, the right or wrong colour, and materials, can make or break a space.

 

The subtle curve, characteristic throughout the Intenza product lineup, defines our DNA principle of minimalism and is at once sensual and tactile.  With no apparent beginning or ending, it exemplifies our craft in molding sculptural forms from seemingly solid material and this aesthetic is further enhanced by the eco—premium, and understated luxury, solution of powder coating.

A technique used to apply (decorative) and protective finishes to aluminum, powder coating electrostatically charges the powder (a mixture of finely milled resin and pigment), sprays it on to the aluminum extrusion, and then fuses it into a smooth coating in a curing oven; and with better colour uniformity between batches is more resistant to diminished coating quality as a result of impact, moisture and (cleaning) chemicals.  In return, this reduces the risk of scratches, chipping, abrasions, corrosion, fading and other wear issues.  In addition to being durable, powder coating is the Intenza choice due to its environmental advantages.

Better. Stronger. Greener

Unlike liquid paints, powder coatings contain no solvents and release little or no amount of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) into the atmosphere.  And, unlike many liquid paints, powder coatings offer a smaller carbon footprint which reduces the adverse effects on the environment.  Powder coatings are able to be recycled and reused and generate zero hazardous waste and, once applied to the surface, forms a strong guard to defend from it coming into contact with dust and moisture.

Corrosion Resistant.  Moisture and humidity can cause metal to rust.  Once applied, powder coating provides a protective barrier that helps prevent corrosion and unlike other treatments that can easily crack, peel, chip, scratch and corrode, powder coating is more durable and low—maintenance.

It’s not just about the workout.  Gyms are stepping up their aesthetics by tapping into design to create amazing spaces— calming or energising, the right or wrong colour, and materials, can make or break a space.  The best colour choices should not only lift members’ mood but make working out more inviting.  With beautiful surface finishes, each product in the Intenza lineup complements a broad spectrum of gym interior styling from complementing the neutral colours widely used in creating a luxury feel to the brightly coloured playful space which brings energy and feels fresh.
