The demands made on cover materials for chairs are more exacting in the field of production than in any other working environment. For one thing, the upholstery of a work chair greatly influences how comfortable the chair is to sit on, and therefore how efficiently the sitter can work. That can play a significant role, particularly in these times of the “war for talent” when good working environment and facilities are often considered more important than things like financial incentives. Another consideration is the fact that upholstery used within an industrial environment is subject to much harsher mechanical stress than in any other workplace.
Fabric upholstery gives the best possible comfort. It is soft and breathable, and ensures that people can sit comfortably for long periods of time, without sweating. Unfortunately fabric upholstery has limited durability, so that in production areas where the conditions are harsher, it can quickly end up getting torn. Integral foam upholstery is extremely tough, even under harsh mechanical conditions, and easy to clean. However, it is not as comfortable as fabric, being firmer and not breathable.
Tough as integral foam and comfortable as fabric: Supertec
Bimos has set itself the task of using innovative materials and products to make working in industry as pleasant as possible. Bimos has been working intensively on developing new products, and has now succeeded in combining the strengths of fabric and integral foam in one innovative cover material. The result is the world-beating Supertec.
Supertec is as soft and breathable as fabric, and yet as tough as integral foam. This is made possible by a system of micro-studs applied onto a base fabric in a complex process. The construction of the fabric allows a natural circulation of air. The micro-studs ensure at the same time that Supertec is resistant to harsh mechanical stress. Supertec is extremely durable, non-slip, easy to clean, and at the same time, soft, comfortable and breathable. Not only this: Supertec also looks very attractive, and is wonderful to touch and feel. By combining comfort and functionality, this cover material for work chairs in production bridges the gap between appreciation and added value. Companies benefit from satisfied employees and economical workplace facilities. Bimos is the only provider worldwide to use this innovative material to cover workplace chairs.
A smart combination: Supertec and exchangeable upholstery
Supertec is currently exclusively available for Neon and Sintec work chairs. Both chairs have a practical system of exchangeable upholstery. This provides the greatest possible flexibility and makes the chairs extremely versatile. Whenever a chair is needed for a different use, you do not need to find a whole new chair. The use determines the upholstery.
And the exchangeable upholstery concept of Neon and Sintec comes into its own if ever the upholstery should become damaged. You just replace the upholstery within seconds in a few simple steps, without the need for tools.
So Neon and Sintec are flexible, sustainable and economical solutions for seating in the industrial environment.
