“HABITAT BUILDING” by Color Design® Lechler, is a collection of finishes designed to harmoniously combine painted plastic surfaces with historical architectural materials such as aluminium, concrete, textile, thus evoking their iconic colours and interpreting them with new finishes. The painted plastic surfaces free themselves from the connotation of "imitative material" and acquire their own identity; colours, effects and finishes sublimate the plastic and evoke with fineness the materials of modern constructions, thus becoming an important element of harmony of the whole.
Coating offers the possibility of giving rise to homogeneous surfaces with metallic, micaceous or texturized finishes with the addition of dedicated additives. The inspiration for the new finishes comes from materic materials and colours such as corten and burnished iron, iridescent and natural like the sky and vegetal green, neutrals like concrete and aluminium and, lastly, for the graphic effects of light and shade there are the light of the textile facades and the dark of the lacquered metals.The colours of these materials give rise to four collections: MATERIC (in the tones of corten and warm anthracite), NEUTRAL (in the tones of concrete and aluminium), NATURAL (in the tones of the sky and urban green) and GRAPHIC (in the tones of the contemporary textile façades and cold anthracite), characterised by the Matt, Satin Matt, Glossy, Metallic and Texture Soft Grain finishes.
Habitat Building's painting solutions also stand out as a powerful and refined means of protecting and extending service life and environmental sustainability by offering complete water-based cycles that limit the emission of so-called VOCs (volatile organic compounds) into the atmosphere.The PVC coating cycles are certified QB, a mark of CSTB (French organisation for innovation in construction). For the North American market in particular, they comply with AAMA 613/614/615.
