ASF inc. Chief Operating Officer Shawn Tweedy spoke in advance of HD Expo 2013, the premier trade show for the hospitality design industry bringing together over 900 exhibitors and over 7,000 attendees to Las Vegas each May. You can visit Armourcoat at booth #5066.
Q: Armourcoat is taking a stand at again at HD Expo in 2013. What products will you be exhibiting?
Shawn Tweedy: We’re really excited to be at HD, in its new home at Mandalay Bay Convention Center. We’ll be presenting our new custom-made decorative wall panel system, evolved from our renowned range of applied seamless wall finishes – ArmourFX.
Our team of specialist designers and artisan plasterers based in Las Vegas can work with clients to create integrated custom wall panel systems or design statement single artwork pieces. We can even include corporate logos or themed colours and finish techniques. Once finished, the panels are delivered direct from our single source workshop in custom-made foam packaging to ensure safe arrival on site. As all modular systems, the panels can be hung and removed as required, with no specialist installation necessary.
We invite clients to visit us at the show at booth #5066, where we are demonstrating the use and application of ArmourFX in a hospitality setting.
Q: Tell us more about the new ArmourFX.
ST: The finished ArmourFX panels are supplied pre-fitted with coloured edge banding and Z-clips to aid on-site installation. Z-clips provide fast installation and ease of handling, and also ensure the panels are demountable for access to services behind. The clips themselves are hidden by the secured panel with just ¼” build up between back of panel and substrate. Finally, panels can be installed and adjusted laterally and vertically for a perfect fit.
Q: What makes it so well suited to hotel environments?
ST: ArmourFX panels provide a quick and mess-free solution for a hospitality setting. Often projects are under tight deadlines for completion, or it is impractical to work with ‘wet’ plastering trades on site. ArmourFX can be highly customized to suit the client, sent directly to site and installed in a few hours. This is perfect for a quick turn-around, perhaps for a rebranding or change in hotel decor. With the use of Z-clips for mounting, panels can be removed for access to service channels or for seasonal changes.
