Surfaces with an urban touch for a dynamic sporty ambience

Emotion Fitness in Plzeň, Czech Republic, is an ultra-modern, fully equipped centre offering a dynamic and stimulating environment. In all the areas where the various disciplines are practised, from aerobics and yoga to equipment and exercises with a personal trainer, parquet floor surfaces dominate, while a decidedly more urban style characterises the bar and restaurant area and also 'contaminates' the toilet and bathroom areas.

Safe hygiene

The need for a cladding that is easy to sanitise, does not deteriorate over time, where stains, dirt and dust are easy to remove and with a water absorption coefficient of less than 0.05%, prompted the designers to select one of Panaria Ceramica's collections.

Cement effect

For the bar and restaurant area and the fitness centre bathroom, the Context collection was chosen, an evolved and appealing interpretation of the cement effect. It is a line of floor and wall coverings inspired by the ancient workmanship of surfaces treated with mixtures of marble grit, stone and terracotta, amalgamated in a cement-based compound.

Antibacterial shield

The aesthetic impact is that of a concrete effect, but the chosen colour, Hangar (a dark grey that fades into anthracite) gives the context a metropolitan elegance. As with all Panaria collections, it also benefits from Protect® protection, the antibacterial shield incorporated into the ceramic product, which eliminates up to 99.9% of bacteria from the surface.
