KIPSTADIUM

Joubert poply converts the try

More than 300 poplar plywood panels have been used for fitting the new head office of KIPSTA, a brand of DECATHLON which is the market leader in France for retail of sports equipment.

18 m³ of Joubert poply panels were installed by company SADECO for covering the interior walls of the new sports centre of the brand KIPSTA in Tourcoing (Department of the North, France).

As a real-life laboratory for innovations on team sports, the KIPSTADIUM is located on a symbolic site : the former plant of the Brewery Terken, and is about 45 000 m² in size. It includes twenty indoor and outdoor stadiums, a team sports store, a restaurant, meeting rooms in open space…

This project was designed by Béal & Blankaert Architects and combines the old and the new to show the rebirth of a place which lives again through sport.

The lightness and the natural aspect of JOUBERT poplar plywood brings a modern dimension to the building while preserving its architectural heritage.

Panels were 18 mm thick, sized 250x122 cm and were cut to size by company SADECO.

Joubert poply is certified CARB ULEF and A+, which proves that its VOC and formaldehyde emission rate is close to natural wood. This is the guarantee of a healthy air for the future amateur and professional sportsmen who will come to the site !
