BNP PARIBAS REAL ESTATE POLAND WITH A FIRST AID KIT INCLUDING A PROTECTIVE COATING FOR COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES

BNP Paribas Real Estate Poland promotes innovative real estate solutions for its clients. In response to the current needs of the real estate sector, the company, in cooperation with its partner, has prepared a special offer aimed at protecting buildings and their usable areas. For several weeks now the most important topic in public space has been the coronavirus pandemic. Its effects include not only anxiety about the future, but also changes in behaviour. The government is introducing further regulations aimed at reducing the dynamics of the spread of the virus in the population. The restrictions entail changes in the way citizens as well as companies function. Their needs are addressed by BNP Paribas Real Estate Poland, which has prepared comprehensive solutions for commercial properties, named the first-aid kit for real estate. BNP Paribas Real Estate Poland’s first aid kit includes, among others, titanium protective coatings, which are a modern method of disintegrating pathogenic microbiological organisms, previously used almost exclusively in hospitals and food production plants. TITANsolid is a versatile product based on titanium dioxide (a naturally occurring raw material used and registered as a food additive in the EU under the symbol E171). The coating can be applied to many surfaces, ranging from specific areas to be covered for permanent protection such as desks, furniture, grips, to office spaces such as walls, ceilings or glazing. Thanks to this solution we obtain a permanent, long-lasting possibility to eliminate pathogenic microorganisms from the air in the entire office space. Thanks to the cooperation with Lumichem, BNP Paribas Real Estate Poland has become an exclusive partner of this solution, promoting it in the commer cial office property markets in Warsaw, Kraków, Katowice and Tri-City. Furthermore, under the agreement, the company gained priority in providing its clients with the described solution in the buildings it manages or rents.
