Staging Concepts has introduced the new Clima-Core™ Platform, an ultra-durable, semi-permanent, weather- and water-resistant platform specially designed for outdoor use. Featuring a heavy-duty honeycomb core top suitable for all climates, the Clima-Core is ideal for a wide range of outdoor events and occasions. Its resilient design will withstand virtually any type of weather conditions and won’t rot, swell, warp, or absorb moisture.
“The Clima-Core platform is a perfect example of the right product at the right time,” said Cindy Albrecht, director of sales and marketing for Staging Concepts. “With events and activities increasingly shifting outdoors due to health and safety guidelines, venues and organizations of all types are in need of staging solutions that can be set up anywhere and under any conditions.”
Clima-Core offers the same strength and durability as Staging Concepts’ cornerstone SC90® Platform with the added benefit of being able to endure extreme temperatures and inclement weather. The single-sided, demountable design is constructed with an extruded aluminum frame combined with a sturdy non-wood composite substrate and topped with a black high-density polyethylene (HDPE) finish. Each platform features a load rating of 150psf and includes a UV resistant surface.
“The core feature of this durable, all-season platform is, essentially, its core,” noted Albrecht. “In addition to being weather-resistant, the composition of the platform is impervious to insects, such as ants, termites, moths, bugs, and beetles, making it an ideal solution for long-term outdoor placement. Plus, you won’t find a product like this anywhere else on the market.”
Clima-Core platforms are available in standard and custom sizes. Standard sizes include 4’ x 8’, 4’ x 6’, 4’ x 4’, 3’ x 8’, 3’ x 6’ and 2’ x 8’ and are compatible with Staging Concepts’ SC90 Fixed and Adjustable Leg Supports, SC9600 Bridge Supports, and the company’s full line of accessories including skirt clips, chair stops and closure panels.
