Advantages of rubber floor coverings

The extensive range of reasons why rubber floor coverings are our customers' number one choice are as follows:

  • Environmentally safe: made of high-quality rubber, mineral fillers, and environmental friendly colour pigments
  • PVC-free: free of PVC, plasticizers (phthalates) and halogens (e.g. chlorine)
  • Extraordinary wear-resistance: extremely long lifespan, resulting in less frequent need of disposal
  • Dirt-repellent and easy to clean: due to its extremely dense surface and "nora cleanguard", the surface finishing has through post-curing
  • No need for extra coating: significantly reduced care and maintenance costs as well as wastewater loading
  • Dimensionally stable: does not contain any plasticizers thus is shrinkage resistant
  • Resistant to cigarette burns: no surface damage
  • Outstanding fire-protection properties: fire/smoke behaviour tested according to DIN 4102, DIN 5510, NF F 16-101, ASTM E-648 and E-662, BS 476 p.7, BS 6853 App. B.5.4, UIC-Codex 564-2/12. Carbonisation gases are non-toxic. No corrosive vapours, no source for dioxins and furans (please contact us for further details on compliance with additional international fire-protection standards)
  • Permanently resilient: lasting high walking comfort
  • Excellent footfall sound absorption: peak value up to 20dB
  • Antistatic: no electrostatic charge build-up from walking, thus no perceptible discharges
  • Free from asbestos, cadmium, CFCs and formaldehyde
  • Easy disposal
