Systexx Premium by Vitrulan for hotel fit-out and refurbishment projects

Installing wall coverings in hotels, in both new-build and renovation projects, is subject to very strict specifications in terms of technical and regulatory requirements.

Intensive use of the rooms, heavy traffic in corridors and impacts from suitcases... all make choosing wall coverings even more difficult.

Architects and construction cost consultants must comply with these requirements while respecting the budgetary constraints inherent in their projects, and still bringing their own aesthetic approach.

Systexx Premium by Vitrulan is a suitable answer to all hotel fit-out or refurbishment projects, whether prestigious addresses, major hotel groups or boutique establishments.

Thanks to their exceptional properties, Systexx Premium glass wall coverings are a lasting and reliable solution, whether the priority is functional, ecological, aesthetic or economic aspects.

Systexx'Premium achieves the perfect combination of technology and aesthetics:
- resistance to mechanical damage such as rubbing and abrasion, impact resistance and protection against micro-cracking guarantee surfaces that stay beautiful over time,

- over a service life of 30 years, Systexx'Premium glass wall coverings can be renovated at least 10 times (20 coats of paint) without any loss of quality in their relief,

- 12 stylish and elegant designs allow for refined results.

Users also benefit from its ecological advantages:
- manufacturing based on natural glass-derived materials results in a product whose safety is guaranteed,

- by letting walls breathe, Systexx'Premium contributes to better indoor air quality.

Another asset: the functional characteristics of Systexx Premium allow a very wide range of uses. The glass wall coverings in this range demonstrate their full versatility in hotels where architects use the same system from the cellar to the penthouse, including the rooms, suites, reception, seminar rooms, restaurant, corridors, stairwells, bathrooms... while endlessly varying the colour palette and the effects applied.

SYSTEXX PREMIUM by Vitrulan
With its many contemporary designs and its 30-year warranty, the Systexx Premium range is ideally suited to the hotel industry.

Thanks to their water-activated reverse side, the various elaborate designs set a new technological standard and allow easy, fast and clean installation, ensuring even surfaces and saving installation time by avoiding the need to paste the wall.

Aesthetically: stylish with designs of original appearance, contemporary with large-repeat patterns, the Systexx'Premium collection meets the needs of all architectural projects with its new elegance.

Technically: through TÜV Nord certification and the 30-year warranty, Vitrulan guarantees that the ecological and functional characteristics of the products will be maintained.

The Premium range incorporates Jacquard technology for excellent performance.

Systexx'Premium wall coverings are made using a technique derived from Jacquard weaving, which ensures a high level of stability and great precision of the designs (outlines and relief).

Its impact resistance prevents damage caused by everyday stresses, which are particularly severe in places open to the public such as hotels.

Systexx prevents cracks from appearing and spreading thanks to its excellent mechanical performance (bridging up to 3mm). When coated with the appropriate paint, Systexx also meets the highest requirements for fire protection and abrasion resistance.

Moreover, Systexx is as easy to maintain as ceramic tile: its non-porous surface offers virtually no hold to germs and withstands intensive cleaning and disinfection.

The Systexx Premium range offers attractive ecological qualities.

Tests carried out prove that all products are guaranteed free of harmful substances and allergens, thus contributing to air quality.

Compared with many conventional products in this market segment, Systexx wall coverings do not release toxic chemical substances in the event of fire (for example, hydrochloric acid fumes).

Given its ecological properties, Systexx even meets the stringent criteria of the highest classification of the Confiance Textile label, class I for baby clothing, and is suitable for food contact, which allows it to be installed in kitchens.

The Systexx Premium range is certified by several independent testing institutes.

The performance level of the products is such that Vitrulan grants a 30-year warranty.

This warranty, well beyond the legal period of 5 years, is an absolute first in the field of interior fit-out. Systexx is thus the only brand of wall and ceiling coverings to offer its customers such security.

The Systexx Premium range appeals through fast and clean installation.

Aqua technology offers unrivalled site profitability by saving several work stages and reducing the time premises are out of use, with no compromise on the quality of the final result.

Indeed, it improves productivity by 40% compared with traditional installation. This technology reduces the arduousness of the work by avoiding the transport and application of adhesive on the wall.

The adhesive, pre-impregnated on the back of the covering, is reactivated as it passes through the Aqua Quick machine (soaking time 2 minutes). Simply fill the tray with water and run the strips through the machine.

For installation on a ceiling, a tack time of approximately 2-3 minutes is required. Besides saving a pasting operation, this technology eliminates the risk of bubbles and bumps caused by incorrect adhesive dosage and guarantees a uniform surface for a quality final result.
