The Challenge: Ageing facilities and tight deadlines

Like many older school buildings, Haslum was characterised by wear, areas that were difficult to keep clean, and lack of slip resistance. Additionally, the building did not meet modern requirements for indoor climate, health and safety. The solutions from Acrylicon were certified emission-free with M1 Indoor Comfort, which is a requirement for use in schools and nurseries.

The school’s age also required that the upgrade harmonise with the building’s historic character. With the start of the school year just around the corner, it was essential to complete the work within a tight timeframe without affecting the school’s daily operations.

The Solution: Efficient installation and tailored design

Acrylicon was chosen based on Asker municipality’s experiences from similar projects, as well as recommendations from Oslo municipality. Our experienced project managers conducted thorough site surveys and planning, ensuring that the installation itself could proceed as efficiently as possible.

An inspiring project

Haslum school is a great example of how modern materials can effectively elevate older buildings to today’s standards without compromising either quality or aesthetics.

The work was carried out with a focus on sustainability, long service life and minimal maintenance costs. The project demonstrates how well-considered solutions can combine functionality, safety and architectural adaptation, providing valuable inspiration for other municipal buildings.

The renovation of Stovnerhallen was chosen as a pilot project, with the goal of finding solutions that combine long service life and minimal maintenance. At the same time, the solutions needed to meet the functionality and safety requirements expected in a modern sports facility.

The result was a sustainable upgrade that effectively reduces maintenance costs and ensures safe use over time.

The Challenge: Need for complete renewal

Like many other sports facilities, Stovnerhallen suffered from surfaces exposed to heavy wear that required frequent maintenance. Lack of slip resistance and cleaning challenges made it necessary to upgrade both floors and walls to ensure safe and efficient use.

Additionally, the project required a solution that could handle demanding daily use, while the rehabilitation had to be completed within a tight timeframe without disrupting the hall’s activities.

The Solution: Durable materials and efficient installation

Based on our documented experience with similar projects and durable products, Acrylicon was chosen

A model for the future

Stovnerhallen is a clear example of how modern materials can elevate older sports facilities to today’s standards without compromising functionality or aesthetics. The upgrade was carried out with a focus on sustainability, durability and minimal maintenance costs.

The project has inspired similar solutions in the Oslo area and demonstrates how a strategic investment in quality from the start can reduce future costs. Stovnerhallen stands today as a model for sustainable building management.

Challenge: Uniting past and future

The project required a careful balance between modern functionality and preservation of the building’s historic character. This included solutions capable of withstanding heavy loads and demanding use, while respecting the building’s aesthetic heritage. Wear resistance, hygiene and precision in execution were critical to ensuring a seamless result.

Acrylicon’s flooring systems, known for their wear resistance, pore-free surfaces and flexible aesthetic possibilities, made it possible to maintain the building’s authentic expression while elevating the hygiene standards and functionality. The result was a successful combination of historic preservation and modern sustainability.

Solution: Precise and lasting solutions

Acrylicon delivered tailored solutions for several of the building’s most demanding areas:

• Floor and wall systems: Changing rooms, showers and toilets were covered with durable flooring systems ensuring hygienic and robust surfaces. The walls received corresponding treatment with Acrylicon WallSystem, which combines durability and aesthetics.
• Groundwork: A total of 45,000 m² of flooring was levelled for various materials such as carpet, linoleum and wood.
• Preservation of the terrazzo staircase: The iconic staircase in the foyer was renewed using advanced techniques to recreate the original appearance from 50 years ago, but upgraded to modern standards for durability and function.

Result: A landmark building for the future

The rehabilitation of NIH demonstrates how innovative solutions can combine tradition and technology to meet strict requirements for both aesthetics and functionality. Today, the building stands as a national landmark that reflects its history while delivering modern sustainability and durability. The project strengthens Acrylicon’s position as a preferred supplier in demanding rehabilitation projects and demonstrates how quality at every stage delivers results that last.

Challenge: Extreme demands on wear resistance and safety

The platforms at Nationaltheatret station are subjected to constant stress from passengers, luggage wheels and mechanical cleaning equipment. The wear resistance must be exceptional to handle this daily pressure without compromising the floor’s functionality or aesthetics. Additionally, the station has strict safety requirements, including the need for colour-coded and tactile safety markings to help passengers navigate safely. It was also important that the floor was easy to maintain to ensure a clean and inviting platform all year round.

Solution: Durable and functional flooring with a focus on safety

AcryliCon chose the Acrylicon Flake System, a durable, hygienic and user-friendly flooring system that met all requirements. The floor has shown impressive results with nearly 20 years of continuous use without signs of significant wear. It is easy to keep clean with standard cleaning machines and is resistant to chewing gum marks and damage from suitcase wheels.

To ensure safety, the floor was equipped with colour-coded and tactile safety markings, providing both functionality and a modern appearance for the station. This solution has not only improved safety but also created an aesthetically pleasing and functional environment.

Result: Long-term value for demanding environments

Acrylicon Flake System has proven its strength as a sustainable investment for Nationaltheatret station. The floor combines exceptional wear resistance, easy maintenance and high safety, delivering both economic and practical benefits in one of Norway’s most demanding environments. This project demonstrates how the right flooring choice can provide long-term value in a hectic everyday setting.

As a leading Norwegian TV channel for food and cooking, it was essential for Matkanalen to have a floor that withstands high activity while providing a professional and hygienic appearance. With AcryliCon’s unique properties – fast installation, minimal maintenance and long service life – Matkanalen received a solution that supported their production requirements and visual identity.

To improve the functionality and aesthetics of their premises, Vang Auto-Service chose AcryliCon as their floor system supplier. In the retail areas, AcryliCon Flake System was installed – a system known for its durability and decorative finish that creates an inviting environment for customers. The workshop received AcryliCon Décor System, which is specially developed to withstand demanding working conditions and easy cleaning.

With these upgrades, Vang Auto-Service has acquired durable and aesthetic floor solutions that meet the demands of both customer service and workshop operations.

Technical Manager Roar Tysse describes the process:
– We wanted to avoid tiles in the upgrade, because we knew that grout lines and surfaces would eventually look dirty over time, no matter how they are maintained. When users perceive it as dirty, it affects the overall experience. That’s why we invited the cleaning manager into the decision-making process, and we received full support to choose AcryliCon Flake System.

With a solution from AcryliCon, the swimming facility received:

• Seamless surfaces that simplify cleaning.
• Long service life in a high-traffic environment.
• Hygienic solutions that create a positive user experience.

The choice of AcryliCon Flake System has resulted in clean and functional changing room facilities that meet both users’ expectations and staff needs for easy cleaning.

The choice fell on AcryliCon Flakes System, which combines exceptional durability, slip resistance and easy cleaning. The floor system is designed for demanding environments and withstands both mechanical stress and daily wear from claws, hair and spills.

Veterinarian and Managing Director Halvard Sæther describes the floor as an important part of the clinic’s functionality and workflow:

This solution ensures that Vestfold Animal Hospital can maintain high hygiene standards and offer a safe and comfortable environment for staff, pet owners and patients.

Acrylicon has contributed to the museum’s modern facilities by installing floor systems in the building. The solutions ensure that the museum can handle high traffic while maintaining a high level of hygiene and maintenance.
