A Bold Step Towards a Sustainable Future

We are standing at a pivotal moment where our heritage of excellence merges with a steadfast commitment to environmental responsibility.

As global regulations tighten and sustainability challenges grow, we embrace this shift as an opportunity to lead. By aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, we are taking decisive action to phase out cadmium-based materials from our coil line. This move goes beyond compliance; it reflects our vision for a healthier, greener future.

For decades, cadmium-based pigments have been prominent in creating our iconic red, orange, and yellow hues, defining the vibrant character of our architectural surfaces.

Yet, as preferences evolve toward more neutral and sustainable palettes, we recognize a unique opportunity to innovate and reshape our offerings.

We are dedicated to offering an extensive range of colors crafted with alternative, eco-friendly technologies, maintaining our performance and design standards.

Back to school - Transforming Learning Environments from Kindergarten to University.

As August rolls into September, the excitement of a new school year begins to build. It’s the season of fresh starts for students—new notebooks, classrooms, and endless possibilities. For educators, it’s the time to strategize how to create the most engaging and effective learning environments.

At Polyvision, we’re right there with you, brainstorming ways to make those learning spaces not just functional but downright inspirational—from the vibrant classrooms of kindergartens to the bustling lecture halls of universities.

A fresh start

The start of a new school year holds a unique kind of magic. Whether it’s a child’s first day of kindergarten or a university student gearing up for their final semester, the beginning of a new academic journey is brimming with excitement and potential.

Let’s not forget that the right learning environment can make all the difference in shaping a student’s experience.

It's all about discovery

For the youngest learners, classrooms are like doorways to new worlds—where curiosity is sparked and foundational skills are built. At this stage, everything is a grand adventure.

Classrooms need to be adaptable, engaging, and ready for exploration. Writable surfaces and interactive tools can turn a simple wall into a canvas for creativity, where young minds can practice their letters, sketch their dreams, or map out their next big idea.

Building and expanding knowledge

As students grow, so do their learning environments. In primary and secondary schools, classrooms become the epicenter of structured learning. The mission here is to build on the curiosity of early childhood and dive deeper into the subjects at hand.

Durable, easy-to-maintain writable surfaces support these activities, providing a space where students can visualize concepts, work through problems, and collaborate with classmates. These tools help make abstract ideas tangible, allowing students to connect the dots (literally and figuratively).

Preparing for
the future

When students enter college or university, the learning environment evolves again. The emphasis now shifts to critical thinking, collaboration, and practical application.

Lecture halls, labs, and study areas must spark interaction and creativity. Advanced, versatile surfaces allow for dynamic teaching approaches and encourage students to really dig into the subject matter. Whether they’re working on a group project or analyzing complex data, these settings are all about bridging the gap between learning and doing.

Looking forward to the school year ahead

As the back-to-school season kicks into high gear, whether you’re prepping a kindergarten classroom or setting up a university lecture hall, we’re here to help you create spaces that don’t just teach but inspire.

Here’s to a year packed with discovery, growth, and success!

Mercosul’s Community Engagement Project

News

CeramicSteel Mercosul's Community
Engagement Project

CeramicSteel Mercosul, a leading distributor of porcelain enameled steel products in Brazil, recently sponsored the construction of a bus stop to benefit a local community near Avenues School. This project emerged from a collaborative effort initiated by the school, inviting its primary suppliers to engage in a social responsibility initiative to improve the surrounding area.

Identifying the Need

The opportunity was first revealed during a meeting organized by Avenues School, where the school’s architecture office and representatives from various companies, including CeramicSteel Mercosul, discussed potential ways to support the nearby underprivileged community.

Through dialogue with community members, it became evident that a nearby bus stop, frequently used by schoolchildren, needed more shelter from the elements. This realization sparked the idea to construct a bus stop, ensuring children could wait comfortably and safely for their transport.

CeramicSteel Mercosul was committed to contributing to this project from the outset. Recognizing the importance of the initiative, the company actively participated in all meetings, offering porcelain enameled steel materials and technical expertise to ensure the construction of a functional and aesthetically pleasing bus stop.

The success of this initiative has not only enhanced its reputation but has also opened roads for future community projects.

The Art of Metro Brussels

The Art of Metro Brussels

Brussels, the capital city of Europe, is home to many artistic treasures. The city exhibits its commitment to a more liveable and enjoyable urban environment for everyone by integrating art into the metro system.

The artwork is inspired by the idea that art can improve the quality of life for locals and visitors by transforming these public areas. The goal is to develop more lively and interesting public areas that foster a sense of community and improve commuters’ daily experiences.

As a producer of Ceramicsteel, also known as enameled steel, Polyvision is employed in a wide range of creative and architectural applications. Regarding this subject, the Brussels metro system contains several famous pieces of artwork built from our CeramicSteel material. Over the years, we have contributed to improving the visual and cultural diversity of the city’s public spaces, resulting in a more motivating and interesting environment for everyone, by giving designers and artists strong and adaptable canvasses to work with.

Overall, CeramicSteel is a fascinating material that has been used in a wide range of artistic contexts, from murals and sculptures to decorative tiles and signage. Its durability and versatility make it an ideal choice for large-scale public works that need to combat the elements and stand the test of time.
