NEWS FROM THE WORLD:

UNITED KINGDOM

With more than 500,000 square meters of JVP panels laid during the last two years, the United Kingdom remains the most dynamic worldwide market for JVP. Raised Access Floors enjoy a steady growth and it is considered to be a “standard” inclusion for many public projects, such as schools, hospitals, universities and many more institutions, as well new growth in the retail sector and of course continued use in commercial office developments. The continued expansion of the market is the direct result of the understanding of the systems and the ability to make the most of its main features along with the undeniable savings and a unmatched flexibility.

When we talk about flexibility, it not only in the technical aspects and the ability to make rapid alteration to floor space which give practical and commercial benefits, the fact that reason Raised Access Floors in the UK are generally installed without a finish is important. This allows the use of the raised floor as work platform during the construction phase of a building. It also means that traditional coverings stuck to the panels can be considered late in the programme when an incoming occupier has taken possession and allows it them to defer decisions  until they have considered their final scheme and layouts to meet all their needs.

Offices are the main target for the JVP raised floor. This flexibility gives property owners, occupiers, designers a guarantee of the maximum level of personalization, on both a technical and esthetical level. 

Another typical request of offices is the partitioning. Having an open space environment to be divided in conformity with the specific needs of every single company, nowadays is a priority for all modern enterprises. Nobody wants to sacrifice his own organizational autonomy accepting an already partitioned office. This is another reason to explain why the versatility ensured by the JVP raised access floor is so important.

We talked about schools, hospitals and other buildings where our steel encapsulated floor is a fundamental specification for projects. Some examples can be seen in the pictures below. From Brighton to The Shetlands, whenever there is a need for flexibility, there's always a JVP raised access floor waiting to be laid.
