Connections were forged just over a year ago to address wire and air distribution requirements, a decidedly complementary aspect of today's marketplace for the Corporation. Interface Architectural Resources broadens the Corporation's commercial interiors business with the addition of advanced access flooring systems.
Intercell®, the division's initial product offering, continues to gain momentum. A low profile, high capacity access flooring system for cable management, Intercell is economical and easy to install and modify. Consuming only three inches of floor-to-ceiling height, Intercell delivers an optimal balance of wire capacity and space
Interface Architectural Resources' strategy for growth over the past year incorporated new products and processes, as well as acquisitions and strategic alliances. Rights were acquired to a series of products which provide micro-climate, individual control of air distribution through either floor mounted or work station mounted devices. Interface also exercised an option in March 1996 to acquire C-Tec, based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the second largest access flooring producer in the U.S.
These product concepts support sustainable design principles and
guarantee enhanced workplace flexibility. As a result, the physical
Intercell®, the division's initial product offering, continues to gain momentum. A low profile, high capacity access flooring system for cable management, Intercell is economical and easy to install and modify. Consuming only three inches of floor-to-ceiling height, Intercell delivers an optimal balance of wire capacity and
space conservation. During the year, a new steel version of Intercell was developed in Europe, providing much greater control over the product's manufacturing tolerances and broadening its appeal. The official launch for this product was in early 1996.
The Interstitial System® has generated market excitement since rights for the product were acquired by Interface in 1994. A patented, multiple plenum, electromechanical access flooring product, the Interstitial System improves air quality and energy efficiency when compared with conventional access flooring by confining air flow to its own sealed and uncluttered plenum, separating air flow from electrical and telecommunications cables.Together with Interface, lnc.'s floorcoverings and commercial fabrics, raised access flooring systems and associated technologies and products offer customers more operational flexibility and simplified availability to a total, interactive interiors solution
environments these systems support can readily adapt to evolving technologies and work processes, ensuring dynamic and responsive work settings that meet customer demand for a more productive and healthier environment.
