Description
FLATMATE has a closed floor space of only 0.09 m² and is probably the smallest fully equipped bureau on the market. Due to its shallow construction depth and the simple, inconspicuous exterior, it transforms long corridors of old buildings into a home office if required, offers a place in the bedroom for writing letters or serves as a temporary workstation in the weekend house. FLATMATE makes even rooms that are unsuitable for conventional furnishings meaningfully usable; due to its compact dimensions, this new interpretation of the bureau is ideal for mobile users.
The integrated flexible interior design with storage space for traditional writing instruments as well as Tablet-PC and Co. combines the characteristics of classic furniture with the new form of connected life and work. Supplemented by a Bluetooth keyboard (not included in the scope of delivery) the mobile tablet PC becomes a stationary ergonomic workstation with integrated power supply; the mobile phone can be recharged inconspicuously when the work surface is closed. The glare-free lighting and the invisible power socket are activated by the elegant 1.30-metre-long black textile cable: plug `n` work The side flaps are fitted with two 8cm-wide standard folders, a 17 "laptop with accessories as well as CDs or similar items; one of the flaps can be locked if required.
The bureau has a large, sturdy worktop measuring 420x710 mm. The high-quality flap holders guarantee a slow, damped lowering of the worktop. The inner functional area of the furniture has a depth of 85 mm. Behind a removable screen is a glare-free workplace lighting (fluorescent tube) with an integrated socket. The power supply is provided by a 1.3 meter long textile cable with plug.

An LED under-cabinet light from the Heitronic brand with an integrated socket is installed in the FLATMATE. The LEDs have a rated service life of 25.000 hours. The integrated socket is always inside the FLATMATE at the top right.

The LEDs have a rated life of 30.000 hours. The integrated power outlet is located inside the flatmate on the top right. The USB sockets are rated for 2 amps, which means a tablet can be plugged in without any problems. If you use both USB ports at the same time, each port has 1 amp available.
The scope of delivery also includes a 3-piece order set (pad holder, letter stand, shelf) made of powder-coated metal. These elements can be flexibly hung on the back wall. The bureau has an additional door on both sides. There is additional storage space available here. The 3 compartments on each side offer space for an 8 cm wide standard folder, a 17 "laptop, CDs, etc. FLATMATE comes standard with white, round feet. Alternatively, a base panel in melamine white with birch edge is available. In addition, the bureau is secured to the wall in the upper part of the room by means of a wedge bar with only two screws. The wall installation creates a 10 mm wide shadow gap between the wall and the furniture, i. e. the total depth of the bureau is only 132 mm.

FAQ
What does HPL and CPL mean?
CPL is the abbreviation for für Continuos Pressed Laminates
HPL is the abbreviation for High Pressure Laminates (HPL from thickness > 2 mm are according to standard EN 438 compact plates)
What is special about the HPL coating of our black matt furniture?
Our HPL laminate impresses with its high abrasion, impact and scratch resistance. It is ideal for horizontal as well as heavily used surfaces. The super-matt surface feels velvety warm and is characterized by its very good anti-fingerprint property. This makes our HPL laminate unique and universally applicable.
Are there special features in the care of our HPL coating?
The HPL coating requires no special care because of its resistant and hygienic, dense surface. The surface is generally easy to clean. It should be noted that no sanitary cleaners or cleaning agents with abrasive components are used for cleaning, since such cleaners lead to changes in gloss and scratches.
What is the difference between HPL and CPL?
CPL
The term CPL already gives an indication of the manufacturing process, that is, CPL is produced in continuous double belt presses with a compression pressure between 30 and 70 bar and temperatures between 150 °C and 170 °C. Depending on the laminate thickness and the press zone length, the feed rate varies between 8 and 15 m/min.
HPL
HPL is produced in batch multistage presses with a pressure of between 50 and 90 bar and temperatures > 120 °C. Very often, in connection with the production process of laminates, the pressure is also given in mega-pascal (MPa). The floor presses have between 10 and 20 floors and each floor holds approx. 8 laminate boards with a nominal thickness of 0,50 to 0,80 mm. Depending on the press feed and the maximum temperature, the complete press cycle including re-cooling takes between 20 and 60 minutes.

In this case the FLATMATE needs 959 mm free space in width.
ASSEMBLY
How do I attach the FLATMATE to the wall?
The FLATMATE must be fixed to a wall. The assembly instructions provide detailed information. The wall attachment creates a 10 mm wide shadow gap between the wall and the FLATMATE so that the FLATMATE then has a total depth of 132 mm.

Which tools do I need for the assembly?
For wall mounting you need a Phillips screwdriver, a drill with a 6 mm drill, a ruler, a pencil and ideally a spirit level.
How can I adjust the flap fittings or fine-tune them?
The high-quality flap fittings with gas spring guarantee a slow, dampened lowering of the worktop. They can be adjusted with the help of a small turntable. As a result, the speed of lowering can be fine-tuned.
The assembly instructions provide information under point 6 on page 4.
How can I adjust or fine-tune the side doors?
The side doors can be adjusted manually and fine-tuned.
The assembly instructions provide information under point 5 on page 4.

MAINTENANCE
