BUILD Design & Build 2021 18 15 Q1 2022 BUILD heritage gives it a down-to-earth, rustic feel. Pushing through the current challenges of Covid-19, Fibo is innovating and creating, looking forward to releasing some brand-new design and product creations in 2022 that will continue to push Fibo’s environmental sustainability commitment and maintain the 50% plastic reduction it has held since 2018. Company: Fibo Contact: Nicola Bradley Website: cibcomms.co.uk Oct21475 Norwegian Excellence Fibo, a wet room tile manufacturer that has recently received the ISO 14001 accreditation for the consistent dedication to environmental corporate responsibility that it broadcasts at every turn, has been accruing all manner of awards since its inception. One of the most recent ones, ‘Most Innovative Designer of Wet Room Wall Panels’ in 2021 for Chesham, is something it will be using as a springboard to further success as it moves forward into 2022 and beyond, exciting to continually bring newer and better tile innovations and designs to the market. stablished in Norway, Fibo found its beginnings in 1952. Since then, it has grown significantly into the leading supplier of waterproof wall panels in the region and beyond, producing panels for 100,000 bathrooms per annum in order to create the client’s dream wet room spaces. Fundamentally, it has made a name for itself with its high-pressure laminate surfaces; these are bonded to a specially developed 9mm seven-layer plywood core with an enhanced moisture barrier on the reverse, making the panels incredibly strong and long-lasting as well as easy to maintain and incredibly easy to clean. This ensures that the client can have their bathrooms looking as good as new for years, without the added hassle of trying to find specific new cleaning methods or having to face enhanced degradation over time. Critically, Fibo also uses PEFC or FSC certified materials for its panels. Its dedication to using these and only these types of materials further enhances the trust in it that its clients place, sourcing its materials from sustainable sources and forests with full traceability included, from the raw material all the way through to the finished product. This allows a client to dig deep into the ethical sourcing of their materials, taking a look at every stage of the process and being able to ensure for themselves that everything is up to par, which with Fibo, it always is. Fibo, in addition, is using each of these factors to change the world’s opinion on wall panelling. Whilst in the past it may have been seen as the cheap, unattractive, plastic option, Fibo is making itself a market leader by taking these assumptions and flipping them on their head, offering only the best of the best in terms of panel quality and design or colour selection. With a wealth of contemporary designs, textures, colours, and effects across six different collections available for a client to choose between, the ability to create an attractive bathroom space is more in the hands of the client than ever before. Providing these panels to clients such as social housing providers, housebuilders, plumbers, modular manufacturers, joiners, merchants, specifiers, and self-builders, its customers base is wide and varied, striving to deliver the excellent service that its customers have each come to expect. Imitation grout lines are milled into panels instead of printed, producing a realistic and yet far easier to maintain effect, coming with an industry leading 25-year warranty and Aqualock installation system that makes panels 100% waterproof and able to be put up in a matter of hours.
