Maintaining strict hygiene standards is of utmost importance in the Leisure industry, particularly in exercise studios and gyms where the health and safety of customers and staff are paramount. While traditional cleaning practices play a vital role, it is equally essential to invest in advanced solutions that provide long-term protection against health threats.
All of these factors, as well as creating an inspiring, motivational and visually pleasing centre were on the wish list for Kilkenny Active Health & Fitness Club when they approached Fleetwood to work with them. The fact that Fleetwood Paints offers a range of antibacterial paints was a deciding factor for the club, and they expressed a particular interest in our Fleetwood Bio Tec range. These innovative coatings have been specifically developed to enhance hygiene in areas where maximum protection is required, making them an ideal choice for gyms, pool areas, and exercise facilities.
Hygiene Protection and Disease Prevention
Fleetwood Bio Tec paints are designed to go beyond conventional paint applications. Their antibacterial properties have been proven to significantly minimize the spread of various diseases and infections, including MRSA, salmonella, and E. coli. This is achieved through the use of Silver Ion technology, which inhibits bacterial growth at the cellular level. This provides an added layer of protection and helps to maintain a safe and sanitary environment for both customers and employees. The Fleetwood Bio Tec range offers a versatile selection of coatings to cater to different needs and preferences within restaurant spaces. With options such as Acrylic Matt, Interior Acrylic Eggshell, and 2-Pack Catalysed Epoxy in semi-gloss and gloss finishes, there is a suitable paint for every surface and requirement. This diversity ensured that the paints could be applied to various areas of the health club, including walls, ceilings, woodwork and high-traffic surfaces, without compromising on quality or hygiene standards.
Low Maintenance and Durability
One of the key advantages of using Fleetwood Bio Tec paints is their long-lasting durability, resulting in reduced maintenance needs. The coatings are formulated to withstand the rigours of busy environments, resisting wear and tear, and maintaining their antibacterial properties over time. This quality ensures that leisure centre owners and staff can focus on delivering exceptional experiences while having peace of mind about the ongoing hygiene protection provided by the paint.
Aesthetic Excellence That’s On-Brand
The final element for Kilkenny Active Health & Fitness Club was the aesthetic considerations. They needed a paint palette that dovetailed in with their existing brand identity, enhancing and securing it visually in visitors’ minds while also creating a dynamic and inspirational interior. Colour can be a big motivator, so they worked with our Colour Expert team to put together a palette for studios, gyms, public spaces and the reception area that was dynamic as well as on-brand. With thousands of colours to choose from, including Pantone® and Fleetwood’s own Fleetwood Tinting System, the right balance of both interior and exterior colours was chosen and integrated into the overall brief. The result was a fresh, exciting and stimulating atmosphere that customers and members actively appreciated. By considering both the practical and the aesthetic elements of a project, Fleetwood delivered an outstanding result that was embraced by Kilkenny Active Health & Fitness Club, giving their brand identity greater dynamism and bringing a new zest to the club’s overall ambience.
