In retrospect: Domotex 2018 . Estillon looks back on a successful Domotex, Europe’s floor covering trade fair in Hannover. Estillon was present in a different hall (Hall 11) this year. But because the entire trade fair was organised differently, both our existing and new customers had no difficulty in finding Estillon. Given the visitor numbers of around 45,000 annually, Domotex is a stable trade fair. Unfortunately, moving the dates of the trade fair did not result in more visitors. Nevertheless, Estillon’s sales team made excellent use of the 4 trade fair days to present its product range. Assisted by experienced upholsterer Jason Roberts, extensive demonstrations of the Floorfixx underlay range and various carpet underlays Egalsoft and Best Base Elegance Black FR were given. Naturally, the Roberts tools were used during these demonstrations. Estillon would like to thank everyone who helped to make the trade fair a success, in particular all our partners, the visitors and the Estillon team. Estillon looks forward to meeting you again at the Domotex trade fair in 2019! If you have any questions or comments, please contact us on +31 (0)24 6485348 or send an e-mail to info@estillon.nl.

Estillon official partner of Quiet room label for hotels. The Quiet room® Label Concept was introduced by the Sound Insulation Knowledge Centre (Kenniscentrum Geluidsisolatie – KGI). This is the first and only objective quality certificate for hotels in terms of soundproofing. With the Quiet room® label, hotels can generate added value for their guests; The guests are then guaranteed a stay in a quiet room. But with this certificate, property owners are also a step ahead when it comes to selling their properties to hotel chains. Before a hotel is awarded a number of stars, it must comply with the conditions set for this in each country. However, no guidelines apply for acoustic comfort. The KGI aims to change this through the Quiet room® label. In order to determine the class in which a hotel room falls, the KGI performs measurements of airborne, impact and installation noise. If the room does not yet meet the Quiet room® label requirements, the KGI gives advice on what needs to be done in order to comply with the label requirements. The KGI can advise on new products from various suppliers during renovation or construction work, so that this high level of acoustic comfort […]
