Stepping Out of Line for Creative Impact
When Minifie Architects refurbished 70 Wilson Street, they chose INTRAflex to continue their linear design aesthetic through the Entrance Matting. The striking, striped design makes a design statement while meeting the advisable depth of 3m for effective Entrance Matting. INTRAflex XT covers the whole of zone 2 while inset sections of their INTRAflex SP feature in zone 3.

Fine Design to Protect Fine Finishes
Minifie works with INTRAsystems on various projects and knows how best to apply Entrance Matting in creative ways. The design helps remove dirt and absorb moisture efficiently through the revolving and pass door within the first 12m2 section of matting. The subsequent area of inset sections provides extra visual impact and removes more dirt. This not only reduces slip risk but protects onward flooring – important for six storeys of offices and a reception with oak herringbone parquet and Senso resin floor beyond.

Striking and Sustainable
Sustainability is a key part of Minifie’s design. The building is rated as BREEAM Excellent and billed as a low carbon workplace that even has its own bee hives on the roof! They chose natural materials, net zero and low-impact products throughout the building. So, their INTRAflex EPD helped inform their carbon calculations and specification choices.

The linear, fluted and vertical lines inside and out reflect in the Entrance Matting and the attention to detail is impeccable. Minifie specified the black anodised finish along with Elite Black 608 fibres to match the black glazing and interior design details.

Engineered for Ease and Endurance
Minifie picked INTRAflex because it offers easier maintenance and longevity. The plank system is laid in ‘lanes’ so you can replace each interlocking section to minimise waste or disruption. Depending on wear, you can even swap sections around to extend the lifespan. They provide a 10-year warranty but expect it to last much longer with an effective cleaning regime in this type of environment.

You can also cut the planks to shape easily, for quicker and easier installation. This makes them more adaptable for a variety of design forms, or neatly fitting around tricky nooks and crannies.

Flexible Design Choices
INTRAflex XT lends itself particularly well to inset designs because each individual unit within the plank system co-ordinates with products using the same aluminium profile. You can see other examples of its creative use in Newgate Street and The Plimsoll Building.

INTRAflex is a heavy-duty system suitable for high and heavy traffic locations, so it’s equally up to the task in transport hubs as commercial offices. With an open or closed construction, it is also suitable for internal or external use depending on the inserts you choose.
