Nets for public buildings

A net is an original way to optimize or create a new space, bringing an aesthetic touch to existing structures. Many architects choose our nets for the quality and security they offer, particularly for their projects for public buildings.

Nets approved by an external inspection office

At present, no standard exists for the use of loft nets inside or outside homes. Nets are subject to neither construction regulations nor a ten-year guarantee. Their technical characteristics are not referenced as standard with construction needs, regardless of whether they are for private use or for use in a public building. The constraints that affect nets are very different from the restrictions in place for structural work and finishings on buildings.

As a manufacturer of suspended nets, LOFTNETS was keen to address this gap in the standards and in 2020 set about drafting its own set of specifications for residential dwellings and public buildings with the help of an independent certified assessment office.

This led to approval of the entire net system (technical components, materials, manufacturing processes, installation methods), guaranteeing their completely safe use.

This makes LOFTNETS the only net manufacturer to have its entire net system for public buildings approved by a certified inspection office.

Nets, an original idea for spaces that receive the general public

Installing a vertical or horizontal net in a library, community centre or school is a great way to create an unusual new space for reading, studying, playing and relaxing. Catamaran nets are an original alternative for equipping public buildings.

For young children, nets also help spark their imaginations and creativity. This has led nets to become increasingly common in kids’ bedrooms and crèches. In addition to feeding children’s imagination, nets are a great way to improve their motor skills in response to the sensation of a floating floor. This enables them to work on a different type of balance.

Most public-access buildings have several floors. To maintain a maximum amount of light between levels, mezzanine nets are an ideal solution. They can also help make the most of existing spaces or create a new area to increase the building’s total functional area.
