In today’s business world, employees spend a significant portion of their time in offices. In fact, workers can often spend more time at the office than they do at home. So it’s crucial to create an environment that is both functional and pleasant. State Street International Bank recognised the importance of a pleasant working environment and how it could directly impact productivity and well-being.
So they approached Fleetwood Paints to draw up a project for revitalising the offices at its busy Dublin location. Using Fleetwood’s exceptional range of trade products and working with Fleetwood’s expert in-house design team, they produced a winning solution for transforming the bank’s office spaces into vibrant and inviting places. So why did they choose Fleetwood?
A coatings partner you can trust
An office experiences high levels of foot traffic, so any paints and coatings need to be durable. State Street chose Fleetwood’s Pro Clean Scrubbable Matt. It is specifically designed to withstand the demands of an office environment. Its durability ensures that the walls stay looking immaculate, even with frequent cleaning and scrubbing. With Fleetwood Pro Clean Scrubbable Matt, State Street’s offices maintain a polished, professional look, instilling confidence in both employees and visitors and cutting down on the maintenance cycle, therefore minimising any disruption of the day-to-day operations of the business.
State Street also selected RD Coatings’ range of hygiene paint coatings, supplied by Fleetwood Paints, which they deemed perfect for their office toilets, kitchens, and canteen facilities. These spaces demand paint that not only adds aesthetic value but also provides a hygienic environment. Using products such as Fleetwood Acrylic Eggshell, which offer antimicrobial and antibacterial properties, they created a cleaner and healthier workplace as these coatings can promote employee well-being and prevent the spread of germs.
Looking good on the outside
When it comes to the external elements of an office, choosing the right paint is paramount. Fleetwood Weather Guard is an exceptional masonry paint that is specifically designed to withstand harsh and damp climates, making it ideal for the unpredictable Irish weather. By opting for Fleetwood Weather Guard, State Street’s offices can protect their exterior against the elements, ensuring longevity and reducing the need for frequent maintenance. This choice not only saves costs in the long run but also maintains the building’s professional appearance. Additionally, Fleetwood Paints boasts an exclusive license for RD Coatings’ range of water-based industrial coatings. These coatings are particularly suitable for metal surfaces found in office spaces, including balconies and stairwells. Fleetwood and RD Coatings solutions ensure the longevity of these surfaces, protecting them from corrosion and wear.
The durability of the newly developed industrial coatings guarantees that these high-traffic areas maintain their pristine condition, contributing to a polished and safe working environment. With their exceptional durability, these paints require minimal upkeep over the long term. By reducing the frequency of repainting and the associated costs, Fleetwood Paints significantly lowers the maintenance expenses of office spaces. This allows companies to allocate resources to other critical areas, ultimately improving their bottom line.
