Parklet

Modular Urban Spaces

Design Nola

Making space for the temporary, the imaginary and the un­expected, the multipurpose Parklet system can be installed in a wide variety of environments. Parklet is a unique public space structure that offers a frame for climbing plants while also providing supports for screens, sunshades and rain protection. Parklet can be seen from a distance, creating an architectural way finder that can draw visitors from the entrance to other parts of the site. The structure is also a great choice for children’s play areas, pocket parks and urban green areas within the city. Parklet can be repainted, repositioned and extended over time, making it part of a sustainable circular economy with minimal impact on the environment.

Materials and surface treatments

Steel

Nola uses high-quality steel of good strength in our products. Steel rusts if left untreated and must therefore be surface treated. For this we use two main methods for surface treatment of steel parts; electrogalvanizing and powder coating as well as hot-dip galvanizing.

Electrogalvanized

Electrogalvanizing (also known as zinc plating) provides corrosion protection through the sacrifice of zinc ions. It is created via a zinc coating on the steel using an electric current.

Hot-dip galvanized

Hot-dip galvanizing provides very strong protection against corrosion. The steel is dipped into a bath of hot liquid zinc. The zinc attaches and creates a surface coating on the steel part, which is then taken out of the bath and drained of excess zinc.

Powder coating

Powder coating is a coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. Unlike conventional liquid paint, powder coating is usually applied electrostatically and then cured under heat or with ultraviolet light. The result is an even, hard-wearing coloured surface with the desired gloss level.

Spruce

Spruce is one of the most common trees in the Nordic region. Its wood is usually softer than that of pine and it is generally less rot-resistant. Due to its straight stem and fine branching, spruce usually produces timber of good quality and is one of the most common tree species in the production of sawn building timber.

SiOO:X treatment

Sioo:x is a wood protection with environmentally friendly silicon technology. Water-based and biocide-free. We use Sioo mainly for our oak furniture. Sioo:x treatment of is suitable for all woods, outside as well as inside, and gives a light surface without pigments. The surface is UV-resistant, water-repellent and non-stick. Active and preventive action against algae, mould and pests. Also rot-proof, wood-strengthening and fire-retardant. This wood protection provides long durability and easy maintenance.

Assembly and placement

Parklet plattformar levereras i färdiga enheter 2x2,4 med monterat virke. Bänk levereras med monterad sits.

Maintenance

Powdercoated steel

Products that are electro-galvanized and powder-coated can be touch-up painted with alkyd paint.

SiOO:X treatment

Sioo:x-treated products are treated twice upon delivery; once with a wood protection (Premium Träskydd Altan) and once with a surface protection (Premium Ytskydd Altan). 10-14 months after a product has been installed, it should be treated once more with Sioo:x Premium Surface Protection Altan for best durability. The lifespan after that is estimated to be about 10 years before it needs to be treated again with Premium Surface Protection Altan. The surface protection forms a wear surface, which means that products that are exposed to severe mechanical wear may need to be treated more often than every ten years. The surface treatment has a tested effect according to the standards EN 46 and EN 113. For information about the Sioo treatment see the website www.sioox.se.
