Advantages of rubber floor coverings

There are a number of reasons why nora® rubber floor coverings are our customers’ number one choice:

  • Free of PVC, plasticizers (phthalates) and halogens (for example chlorine)
  • Extraordinary wear-resistance: extremely long lifespan, thus less frequent need of renovation and disposal
  • Dirt-repellent and easy to clean surface: thanks to its extremely dense surface and nora cleanguard®, the factory post-curing surface finishing
  • No need for extra coating: significantly reduced care and maintenance costs as well as wastewater loading
  • Outstanding fire-protection properties: fire/smoke behaviour tested according to EN 13 501-1, DIN 5510-2, 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 occur. (Please contact us for further details on compliance with additional international fire-protection standards.)
  • Permanent resilience: lasting high walking comfort
  • Excellent footfall sound absorption: insulation values up to 20dB
  • Dimensionally stable: does not contain any plasticizers thus is shrinkage resistant
  • Resistant to cigarette burns: no surface damage
  • Antistatic properties: no electrostatic charge build-up from walking, thus no perceptible discharges
  • Environmentally safe: made of high-quality rubber, mineral fillers, and environmental friendly colour pigments
  • Free from asbestos, cadmium, CFCs and formaldehyde
