Riedmatt Mall, Rümlang

Project Description

Shop, discover, work …

… is the motto of the newly renovated Riedmatt shopping mall in Rümlang (ZH).
As a regional attraction, the commercial building was expanded and revitalised and now appears much more inviting and spacious – not least due to its light HALTOPEX^® flooring.

The versatile HALTOPEX^® rubber granulate flooring was laid not only in selected stores, but also in highly frequented areas in the centre of the mall to ensure a safe, easy-to-clean floor covering. Wood and aluminium inlays in the covering create visual highlights, while darker HALTOPEX^® lines showcase the diversity of the individual surfaces. DURATEX^® screeds and hard concrete ensure the necessary stability of the underlays, while cement flowing screeds and WALO synthetic resin mortar are used to create the levelling layers.

Special Features of the Project

Conventional installation of the flooring inside the mall would have severely hampered general building progress. The 2,600 m² area not only constituted the main thoroughfare of the entire building, but also the area in which the majority of the work being carried out by other companies had to take place. After speaking with the site manager, WALO planned the installation in such a way as to avoid the complete closure of this key area and prevent other trades from being hindered. Thanks to the use of an innovative paving machine, it was also possible to reduce the installation time by 30%.
