The Lodge Bar & Dining: A Culinary Oasis Shielded by Premium Surface Protection

Rodd & Gunn, Brisbane

Brisbane’s James Street is a vibrant hub, where fashion and style collide. Nestled amidst this energy sits The Lodge Bar & Dining, a unique establishment that transcends the ordinary. This exquisite venue, an extension of the Rodd & Gunn brand, offers a seamless blend of high-end fashion retail and a delectable culinary experience. But how do you ensure this meticulously crafted space maintains its pristine elegance, especially with over 150 guests enjoying food and drinks daily?

This is where Premium Surface Protection (PSP) steps in. We were chosen as the trusted partner for The Lodge Bar & Dining project due to our unwavering commitment to excellence and our industry-leading surface protection solutions. Unlike traditional competitors who may rely on temporary coatings, PSP offers a superior level of protection that goes beyond the surface.

Understanding the Hospitality Challenge: Why High-End Venues Need Surface Protection

Luxury hospitality environments like The Lodge Bar & Dining face a unique challenge: maintaining the pristine look and feel of their furnishings despite high traffic. Imagine a spilled cocktail on a plush bar stool, or a rogue food stain on a beautiful banquette seat. These everyday occurrences can quickly detract from the carefully curated ambiance.

Furthermore, traditional upholstery cleaning methods can be harsh on delicate fabrics, potentially causing discolouration or even damage. This is where PSP’s advanced technology provides a vital solution.

The team at PSP went above and beyond to ensure all soft furnishings, leather and fabrics remained impeccably maintained. This included treating a wide range of seating options: dining chairs, bar stools, the built-in beige banquette seating, and even the decorative touches provided by the accent chairs.

Beyond Spills: Protecting Against the Unforeseen

The reality of a high-traffic dining environment extends beyond spills. Everyday wear and tear can take a toll on furniture. Friction from clothing, for example, can lead to fabric abrasion, diminishing the aesthetic appeal over time.

PSP’s secret weapon lies in our advanced suite of products, specifically MicroSeal and Fiber Protector. These innovative solutions utilise cutting-edge science to create an invisible barrier within the very fibres of the fabric.

A Tailored Approach to Surface Protection:

While both MicroSeal and Fiber Protector offer exceptional defense against various threats, PSP understands that different fabrics may require a nuanced approach. Our expert technicians conduct a thorough assessment of the furniture’s material composition to determine the optimal application.

• MicroSeal: This revolutionary technology remains the cornerstone of our protection strategy. It penetrates deep into the fibres of the fabric, creating an invisible barrier that repels liquids. Spills simply bead up on the surface, allowing for easy blotting without the risk of staining.
• Fiber Protector: This technical solution provides an additional shield against everyday wear and tear. It creates a durable yet breathable barrier that protects against dust, dirt, and even food particles. This translates to a significant increase in the lifespan of the furniture.

By strategically deploying MicroSeal or Fiber Protector, PSP ensures comprehensive protection tailored to the specific needs of The Lodge Bar & Dining’s exquisite furnishings.

Lowering Cleaning Costs and Supporting Sustainability

One of the key benefits of PSP’s surface protection is its ability to lower cleaning costs and promote sustainability. By repelling spills and stains, PSP’s products facilitate easier cleaning and maintenance for The Lodge, significantly reducing the amount of water, chemicals, and labour hours required for upkeep.

Independent studies have shown that establishments using PSP’s products experience a 75% reduction in the amount of chemicals used, a 75% quicker cleaning process, and a 50% reduction in deep cleaning time. This not only saves costs but also minimises environmental impact, making us the ideal choice for eco-conscious businesses like The Lodge.

Moreover, our non-toxic formula ensures a safe and healthy environment for both guests and staff, aligning with the venue’s commitment to wellness and sustainability.

Preserving Beauty, One Sip at a Time

By partnering with PSP, The Lodge Bar & Dining ensures their high-end furnishings remain impeccably maintained. From the inviting comfort of the fabric and leather dining chairs to the plush feel of the built-in banquette seating, every element is protected against the inevitable spills and stains that come with a vibrant dining scene.

The beauty of PSP’s solutions lies in their invisibility. Unlike traditional coatings that can alter the look and feel of fabrics, MicroSeal and Fiber Protector work their magic within the fibres themselves. This ensures that guests at The Lodge Bar & Dining can experience the luxurious comfort of the furniture without any awareness of the underlying protection.

Elevating Brisbane’s Culinary Landscape, One Protected Surface at a Time

The Lodge Bar & Dining is a testament to impeccable design and a commitment to a superior dining experience. By partnering with PSP, The Lodge Bar & Dining not only protects its investment in high-end furnishings but also ensures a lasting impression on its discerning clientele. With every sip and every bite, guests can relax and revel in the exquisite ambiance, knowing that every detail has been meticulously protected by the invisible shield of Premium Surface Protection.

A Legacy of Heritage, Reimagined

The Lodge Bar & Dining occupies a magnificent heritage-listed Queenslander building. This structure embodies the spirit of Queensland, a state known for its laid-back lifestyle and connection to nature. The design team, award-winning Pennant and Triumph, masterfully preserved this heritage while infusing it with Rodd & Gunn’s contemporary lodge aesthetic. Natural materials like wood, stone, and brass create a warm and inviting atmosphere, while lush greenery adds a touch of Queensland charm. PSP’s surface protection solutions ensure this meticulous blend of history and modern luxury endures for generations to come.
