Zeno-Protect Clean-Off-Zone:

Substantial savings in cleaning costs
Swedish research (Den onda cirkeln by Bo Zetterqvist) shows that cleanings costs make up 86% of the Life Cycle Cost of a floor covering. The breakdown of costs over the Life Cycle of a floor covering is as follows:

86% cleaning costs
10% initial purchase & installation costs
4% repairs

International research has found that more than 75% of dirt in a building is walked-in. Considerable savings in cleaning costs can be achieved.

Indoor Air Quality and absenteeism
The Norwegian study ‘Frisk pust i skolen’ (Clean air in schools) has shown that Protect Super Clean-Off-Zone very effectively reduces walked-in dirt (and water). The research was commissioned by the educational authorities. Eight schools were involved in the trials and a number of different entrance matting options were compared. Prior to the trials levels of dust on the vinyl floor varied between 10 and 25%. The installation of a Protect Super Clean-Off-Zone reduced dust levels on the floor to 4%.

Dust is a recognized irritant, a health hazard and contributes towards absenteeism.

The installation of a Protect Super Clean-Off-Zone resulted in a substantial reduction in dust on the (vinyl) floors and reduced the levels of absenteeism.

Fire safety
Protect Super meets the highest European requirements for fire safety, tested in accordance with EN ISO 13501:2000 (Bfls1).
Protect Super is ideal for areas where additional fire safety is required: entrances, lobby and reception areas also provide escape routes in case of emergencies.

Health & Safety
Damp, wet hard floors can become a serious slip hazard. The installation of a Zeno-Protect Clean-Off-Zone can reduce or eliminate walked-in water.

Noise reduction
According to ISO 717 the acoustic impact of a Protect Super Clean-Off-Zone is 32dB. The installation of a Zeno-Protect Clean-Off-Zone contributes towards improved acoustics of a lobby or reception area.

Highly effective & stylish
The installation of a Zeno-Protect Clean-Off-Zone is very effective in dealing with walked-in dirt and water but also contributes towards the overall appearance of the entrance, lobby or reception area. The Zeno-Protect Clean-Off-Zone is fitted as an integral part of the general floor covering, adhered in accordance with health & safety requirements.
