Learn more about signage design and its applications in different projects

The signage design is essential for many of the projects and buildings that are carried out. Users outside the company need to receive information from the business or building in a simple and clear way, either to find a place or for any other purpose. Good corporate and creative signage has the... function of acting as a guide for both internal staff and, above all, for external personnel to the company. That is why a well thought out design helps users better understand the information, but also conveys a much more careful and innovative image. Depending on the project in which you want to incorporate the signage, the needs in terms of the type of design and place of placement of the signs will be different. However, in all cases, it is vital to have a durable, easy to clean material and with the best quality. That is why many establishments choose to carry out their Krion Solid Surface signage. The importance of signage in hospitals Signage in a hospital is of great importance since it can provide a large amount of relevant information quickly and easily, helping the user to find a specific area or reach an area. In addition, in a place as special as a hospital, it is necessary to have signs that express to the user the prohibition to enter certain places, the danger that he may run if he accesses others such as the X-ray rooms, or the restricted access of others places. The design of signage in hotels The design of signage in a hotel can help the user to immerse themselves much more in the accommodation experience. With the malleability of Krion™ and the ability of this material to adapt to any shape, hotels have an unparalleled ally. Thanks to these properties, each signage of the establishment can be totally unique, generating the modernity and exclusivity necessary for accommodation. Signage at airports The signage at an airport is essential and its Krion™ design can offer a modern and exclusive vision, while fulfilling all its functions. An airport is a space in which having the appropriate signs, both directional and guiding, is of great importance. The user who makes a stopover needs to quickly know where the place he is looking for is located, so good signage design is key to the success of an airport. In addition, the exterior signage of the airport can also be essential, for which it is necessary that the chosen material be very resistant and capable of withstanding inclement weather. That is why Krion™ Solid Surface is an excellent choice. Corporate signage in offices The signage in the offices is of great importance in terms of the visual identity of the brand. The corporate part of the signage and the choice of a design adapted to the brand image can result in a better image for the company. Furthermore, clarity and being able to communicate something at a glance helps potential clients or visitors to public or private offices to quickly understand what they need to do, where they need to go, or what the rules of conduct are in place. The application of signage in restaurants and shopping areas The help provided by signage in restaurants is essential for the proper functioning of the establishment. In addition to having the mandatory signs, such as directions for emergency exits, stairs, elevators or areas with video surveillance, signage can also be very useful in places such as bathrooms. Differentiating the men's and women's toilets in an original way, indicating the appropriate use of wastebaskets or remembering to save water are just some of the applications of signage in restaurant bathrooms. Whatever the project, it is indisputable that Solid Surface by Krion™ is the ideal option to have signage with an original, modern design and, above all, of unbeatable quality and resistance.

Backlit Krionâ„¢ â€” when light is the star

Backlighting is a technical quality that allows light to shine outwards from the inside of a solid surface. This effect works to a greater or lesser extent, depending on the colour and thickness of the piece. Krion™ allows you to create backlit environments thanks to the various translucent... options. By combining models of different thicknesses and adding coloured lights, you can achieve a wide variety of lighting effects, such as an illuminated logo on a counter using your company’s colour. This is undoubtedly a highly sought-after technical characteristic for architects and interior designers alike, as it can be used in a multitude of applications to create surprising spaces where colour, light and depth take centre stage. Backlit colours and their applications Krion™ has a variety of backlit finishes and colours, such as the LIGHT SERIES collection, developed exclusively for use as backlighting in any of its five colours. This extremely bright collection is ideal for designing a multitude of illuminated decorative elements, both on straight and curved surfaces. Another featured collection is the OPALE series by Krion™, born from the union between movement and light. Its four colours in white, green, blue and grey reflect beautiful streaks of light that simulate the gentle swell of water. Its backlighting power enables you to work with different compositions, where light passes through the textured surface to create new lines that were once imperceptible to the eye. The LUXURY SERIES brings us closer to the beauty of nature and backlighting through its NACRE and IVORY BEIGE colours, inspired by natural stone. Its modern and refined finishes will provide a touch of distinction and radiance to your worktops, whether in the kitchen or bathroom. Within the NATURE series, we are highlighting the colour WHITE NATURE for its backlighting capacity. Its white colour, natural appearance and high degree of recycled Krion™ make it perfect for use as a backlit panel, in kitchen and bathroom worktops or even in backlit bar counters. There are other colours that are ideal for backlighting, such as WHITE STAR from the Krion™ STAR series, which, together with its metallic reflective details, is perfect for designer settings with spectacular visual nuances and for use as a backlit display. The colour CRYSTAL WHITE from the ROYAL series stands out for its elegance and luminosity, as well as its natural stone appearance. Finally, SNOW WHITE EAST from the SNOW series, composed of mineral filler and high-quality acrylic resins, is adaptable to any designer project, offering a warm ambient light in bath or kitchen worktops or even in interior tiles. How backlit colours behave From a more technical point of view, when creating a low-relief surface with a thickness of 4 mm, the solid surface allows light to pass through, generating different designs that are projected through the chosen colour. Translucency increases as the thickness decreases; this is the same for all colours that generate this effect. Obviously, the colours with the greatest capacity for initial backlighting are much sharper, and, when you decrease the thickness, they allow much more light to pass through. Litofania in Krion Snow White, the lighter areas have reduced thicknesses. By reducing the thickness of a piece, a colour can be used for backlighting. This means that colours that could not be backlit in their standard thickness of 12 mm, can now be used in this fashion if their thickness is reduced. This allows designers to work with light effects and incorporate backlit signage and logos, among other uses. In short, the use of backlit colours is the ideal solution in any decorative design — whether in furniture, kitchen or bathroom worktops or even in panels or indoor and outdoor tiles — creating pleasant and eye-catching spaces where lighting takes centre stage.

KrionÂ® KÂ·Life es el material elegido por Pauferro para el diseÃ±o de sus soportes higiÃ©nicos

Los productos están fabricados con Krion® K·Life, un material fotocatalítico que elimina las bacterias de su superficie. La empresa valenciana Pauferro ha elegido el material fotocatalíco K·Life para los 2 diseño de sus puntos higiénicos,... que incluyen soportes para gel hidroalcohólico. Con 2 modelos diferentes, uno más sencillo con soporte para el gel hidroalcohólico y otro, además, con soporte para guantes y papelera. Los muebles están fabricados en su totalidad con Krion® K·life, un material activo frente a bacterias y hongos, que consigue eliminarlos al contacto con su superficie. Carece de poros, factor que facilita su limpieza e higienización, ofreciendo un material altamente seguro frente a cuerpos infecciosos y contaminantes. La unión entre las distintas piezas del material es por medio de juntas lisas e imperceptibles, ofreciendo continuidad en la superficie del mueble. Su capacidad de termoformado y curvado evita las esquinas y rincones ofreciendo superficies continuas y lisas. Esto, unido a la ausencia de juntas y poros, evita la acumulación de suciedad sobre la superficie, además de facilitar la limpieza y mantenimiento del material. Además, K® K·Life, gracias a su carácter fotocatalítico, contribuye a disminuir la contaminación del ambiente, mejorando la calidad de vida de las personas. “Hemos utilizado Krion® desarrollado por Grupo Porcelanosa en múltiples proyectos sanitarios como habitaciones de hospitales, centros médicos, clínicas dentales o restaurantes, donde se necesita una higiene máxima y con todas las garantías. Por eso, pensamos que era el material ideal y con más garantías para hacer estos accesorios higiénicos con los que ahora se busca extremar la limpieza en los espacios”, explica el gerente de la empresa Pauferro, Carlos Peris. Prevención frente al COVID-19 Estos soportes para gel hidroalcohólico y guantes están pensados para colocarse en la entrada de espacios con paso de gente como establecimientos comerciales, oficinas, restaurantes… con el objetivo de que clientes y usuarios puedan desinfectarse las manos antes de entrar en las instalaciones y prevenir así la propagación del COVID-19. Además, los puntos higiénicos creados por Pauferro, permiten incluir un dispensador de gel automático, que evitaría el contacto total con el soporte, ya que se accionaría al poner la mano en la parte inferior. Por el momento la empresa, con sede en Picassent, ha creado dos modelos, uno que lleva únicamente el espacio para el dispensador de gel, con un diseño elegante y sobrio, y otro con la misma línea estética, pero más completo que tiene espacio para guantes y papelera incluidos. Estos soportes se pueden adquirir a través de su web www.mamparasmostrador.es, pero la empresa también fabrica a medida para proyectos especiales. La empresa valenciana, que es especialista en fabricación y creación de construcciones de madera, mobiliario y equipamiento profesional, ha abierto una nueva área comercial bajo la denominación “Health and Protection - Pauferro”, con el objetivo de aportar su granito de arena a la lucha contra el COVID-19. En el inicio del estado de alarma comenzaron a fabricar mamparas de protección de metacrilato para comercios y ahora han diseñado estos soportes de higiene que, además de destacar por su diseño y utilidad, se caracterizan por tener propiedades antipatógenos que favorecen la extrema limpieza.

Krion K Â· Life: creating a healthy environment in Futuraâ€™s points of sale in Mexico

The current rhythm of life, industrial activities and the use of harmful materials in means of transport negatively influence the biological balance of the environment in which we live. Increasingly, pollution and contamination raise the health alarm in many cities. Mexico is a clear example of a... contaminated city whose pollution has recently led the government to activating the Environmental Crisis Plan. The transport stations, especially bus stations, are one of the black spots in terms of pollution. These spaces contain high concentrations of NOX from the combustion of motor vehicles. These high levels are harmful to both the environment and to people’s health. Futura, a transport company from Mexico, has wanted to contribute to improving air quality for its points of sale. To achieve this, Futura has refurbished some of its stands with Krion® Lux K-LIFE 1100 thus contributing to the improvement of air quality in these environments. An essential quality in spaces in the transport sector. Future points of sale: The project The new Futura ticket points of sale in Mexico have used Krion® Lux K-LIFE 1100 of 3680x760x12mm. The material contributes to the improvement of air quality as it is ranked highest in GREENGUARD's certification program for indoor air quality and identifies low-emission materials, finishes and products for indoor environments. In 2005, the institute developed a new standard and product certification for daycare, kindergarten, and healthcare facilities. That is an extension of the GREENGUARD certification program for indoor air quality. Known as the GREENGUARD Gold certification, it was developed by evaluating the chemical sensitivity of children, along with the characteristics of the school building. This certificate presents the most rigorous product emission criteria to date for low-emission materials. Its thermocurving property has allowed the WorkShop fabricator to give dynamic shapes to the station, mixing the Krion® Lux K·LIFE 1100 pure white with the corporate pink from the company. The lights, strategically placed, enhance the feeling of movement of the stand. The ease of cleaning presented by KrionTM, provided by its almost zero porosity and imperceptible joints, contribute to making both the maintenance and the hygiene of the space more efficient. One more step in the search for user wellness. The result is a cutting-edge design space created with a functional and healthy material. A small, but very important step to improve the people’s quality of life.
