06 Product 13 Projects 39 Installation systems At Parklex we have spent five years putting all our energy and focus into a single objective: to achieve complete optimisation of our product; to perfectly understand what we wanted to offer and exactly what you wanted from us; and to develop it in these five years. We found this to be a period of valuable perseverance and determination, of doubts and questions, exciting thanks to the implication of many professionals; five years of analysis and research resulting in just the right solution, in the tool we were aspiring to create: a new product...

Maintaining the precision of our focus has been one of our great achievements. We tend to look outwards for solutions, and that opens new paths, disperses, when in fact the answer is often to be found by looking inwards. Specifically inwards to the products we have been making at Parklex for years. What we present here is yet another member of the family, with the difference of new and extended functions throughout: Block Tek is conceived to guarantee the best possible performance from highresistance exterior flooring. The Parklex philosophy is to be able to provide the architect with the...

We have therefore created a series of essential touches for the perfectionists among us. In fact, we expect Block to blend in so naturally that it won’t prompt questions. But if it does, we’ll be here, delighted to answer any queries you may have.

Block Tek is a highly-resistant flooring material conceived to provide the beauty of nature, maintenance-free.

The new Block Tek exterior flooring is completely made in high-density composite, a material extremely resistant to changes in the weather. Each panel is unique. No two Block Tek panels are the same, so no need to worry about repeated patterns. No post-installation treatment required. High-density, hard-wearing composite. Brinell hardness EN 1534 ≥100 MPa Photostable. UV light has no effect on the surface finish, meaning that the colour will remain stable over time. EN 20105 – A02 Contrast ≥ 3 Aspect ≥ 4

The new Block Tek outdoor flooring is completely built with highdensity composite material capable of covering any surface in dry or damp atmospheres; this is a material extremely resistant to atmospheric changes. PEFC-Certified. PEFC-Certified material is available on request. The composite is based on natural materials such as paper and resins treated using thermo-compression to form a new, compact material offering improved performance. Extremely resistant to dampness and temperature changes. Antiseptic. The Block composite repels stains, fungus and bacteria. The fact that its main...

Block Tek panels come in 4 finishes and three standard widths: 130, 198 and 300 mm.

Orders in customised widths are available under request. All panels, no matter what their width, come in a maximum length of 2440 mm. The available thicknesses are 10 and 14 mm.

BOPBAA+AV62 Daniela Hartmann Jordi Hidalgo Tané Vaumm To celebrate the new addition of Block Tek to the Parklex family of products, we invited the architecture & design studios BOPBAA+AV62, Daniela Hartmann, Jordi Hidalgo Tané and Vaumm to share some of their ideas on the potential applications of Block in this presentation catalogue. The ideas were converted into graphic images by the digital infographics and rendering studio from Girona, Estudi Cread.

1 BOPBAA+AV62 Remodelling of the new entrance to the Barcelona Maritime Museum “The new Maritime Museum museographic project consists, on the one hand, of a change in the museological narrative and design of the different areas, and on the other, of important changes to distribution of the museum spaces. The most important change made was relocating the new museum lobby in the Generalitat buildings, alongside the restaurant, shop, visitors’ and ticket desks. The new layout incorporates the lobby to the museological discourse, accentuating its urban presence in area of the current entrance...

2 Daniela Hartmann Roof of a hotel in Barcelona “A hotel represents a world of its own, a space removed from the fever and noise of everyday life. Past, present and future express themselves in the materials used for all of elements composing the area where old and new create harmony and stimulate the imagination. Peaceful, comfortable spaces to sharpen visual sensations. The voyage continues on its way. The environment and time & space become an intense experience. The traveller keeps on travelling. Based on the hotel time & space concept, I explored the abandoned buildings, the ruins, as...

3 Jordi Hidalgo Tané House in Roses “The plot sits perched on the side of the Cap de Creus massif, 80 m above sea level, with splendid views over Roses Bay and the Pyrenees in the distance, making for delightful snow-capped scenes in winter. The plot is cut into the rock, revealing a vertical granite wall, which we immediately realised that it must take part of the house as a fundamental element. A parcel of a height which simply needs a horizontal platform to act as a square with tree-like roofing to provide shelter from the sun while enjoying views of the sea. A cement tree coming out of...
