                            Object: Stadium Schaffhausen

                            From the showers to the VIP lounge –
                            stadium equipment beyond the
                            playing field
                            A sports stadium does not just consist of a
                            playing field. It also includes changing rooms,
                            fitness rooms, meeting rooms, etc. Depending on
                            the league and ambitions of the club, VIP boxes
                            and prestigious rooms for receptions also come
                            as standard. The flooring must be adapted for
                            this purpose, regardless of whether the users are
                            barefoot, wearing studded shoes or high heels.

                            Sports stadiums worldwide use high quality
                            flooring from CONICA. Most are used on playing
                            fields, however, in the Schaffhausen stadium,
                            CONICA has installed surfacing that you might
                            associate more with commerce, industry and
                            public institutions. This is only surprising at first
                            glance, because there are in fact numerous uses
                            for the coverings, in corridors, boxes or wet
                            areas.

21   SWITZERLAND
     STADIUM SCHAFFHAUSEN

For CONICA, this order was an open goal, so to say. Just 200 metres separate the company
headquarters and the installation site. The football stadium, suitable for the super league, has around
8,200 seats and is home to FC Schaffhausen. The stadium also offers a number of different boxes,
conference rooms and meeting rooms for up to 700 people across 1000 sqm. Repoxit AG installed
the high-performance CONIFLOOR LPC, CONIFLOOR LPC+ and CONIFLOOR IES SR surfacing in
all the rooms within the stadium, in the VIP boxes, changing rooms and fitness rooms, corridors,
storage rooms and in the entrance area.

Suitable    surfacing              for       every
application
Any normal visitor to the stadium rarely gives a
thought as to what lies hidden behind the stand.
You might think of changing rooms, but rarely of
the media rooms, technical storage, catering,
corridors, etc. – an incredible variety of uses and
associated requirements. The fact that all these
areas were fitted with CONICA coverings speaks
for the wide range of products. An important
criteria in all applications is the low emissions. In
the rooms for the athletes, coverings must also
be easy on the joints and warm to the feet. Wet
areas, in particular, need to be easy to clean,
impermeable and slip-resistant. Incidentally,
entrances for spectators and guests must also
have these features if water and dirt is brought in
from outside in bad weather. This project “on our
doorstep” impressively shows the performance
and versatility of the CONICA product range.

CONIFLOOR LPC

It’s not just the surfacing on the playing field that
is exposed to high levels of stress, the surfacing
on the periphery is too. That’s where players in
their studs are on their way back to the changing
rooms, high heels at receptions or seating that is
constantly being moved around in the conference
rooms. This all takes its toll on the flooring
installed, but it still needs to look faultless. This is
what CONIFLOOR LPC was developed for. The
coloured, crack-bridging and elastic polyurethane
self-smoothing coating with colourfast sealant is
warm underfoot, slip-resistant and absorbs
footfalls and walking sounds. It is therefore often
used when a homely or prestigious atmosphere
is required, such as in education and health care.

CONIFLOOR LPC+

If noise protection is also particularly important, CONIFLOOR LPC+ is the right choice. To reduce the
sound of footfall and walking, this point-elastic coating system has an elastic layer composed of an
impact-elastic foam mat. Making it ideal for rooms with a very open design. The coverings are low-
emission in accordance with the AgBB (Health Assessment Committee for Building Products) and thus
MVV TB [Rules on Technical Building Regulations] (2019), Finnish M1 and international LEED V4
requirements for DIBt approval (German Institute for Structural Engineering). They are therefore also
suitable for sensitive areas.

CONIFLOOR IES SR

If mechanical stress is particularly high, such as
in technical or storage rooms, the CONIFLOOR
IES SR (Industry Epoxy System slip resistant)
broadcast coating is the perfect choice. The slip-
resistant sealant guarantees safety. It is also
extremely resistant to impact and abrasion, so
that the floor also maintains its look and
functionality even after long periods of
mechanical stress. The broad colour spectrum
also meets demanding aesthetic requirements.
