Outstanding floors for demanding areas

nora systems extends its product portfolio with a new special flooring

Weinheim, October 2020 – noracare is the name of a newly developed special flooring which is available in two modern designs: noracare uneo and noracare seneo. Both designs convince with advanced surface properties and are specifically designed for the use in both sensitive and demanding areas. Wherever extraordinary hygienic standards must be achieved and maintained, noracare provides excellent results.

Experiencing an innovative technology

Particularly in today's world, compliance with hygienic standards in hospitals or medical practices is essential. Especially in highly sensitive spaces such as in washing areas in front of operating theatres as well as in treatment and patient rooms, disinfection has top priority. "To meet the challenges of frequent disinfection, we have developed our new noracare special flooring. Both available designs feature an innovative surface technology that is germ repellent, resistant to disinfectants as well as easy and efficient to clean," says Saskia Holschuh, responsible product manager. In addition to these outstanding hygienic properties, noracare also contributes to an excellent indoor air quality. "Hygiene and good air quality are equally important when it comes to well-being indoors", Holschuh continues. "Our noracare floors are globally certified as extremely low emission and odourless from the first day of use. The absence of phthalate plasticisers round off the product profiles." Good indoor air does not only contribute to comfortable breathing. It also has a positive effect on creating a good learning and working atmosphere and promotes a soothing, healing environment. Whether patients, nurses, teachers or students, everyone benefits from healthy air.

The special floor covering also scores points when it comes to the environment: noracare can be recycled up to 100 percent because residual materials from the manufacturing process can be fed back into the production cycle. This benefits not only the environment, but also the customers, by helping them to achieve their own sustainability goals.

Two floor designs that leave nothing to be desired

No matter how demanding a new building or renovation project is – nora offers innovative systems that provide everything required for optimum floor design from a single source: Almost every area in an object can be equipped within one design – sometimes even with the same standard colour. The extensive range of accessories complements the system offer. This applies equally to the noracare special floorings. They are also part of nora one – a complete, certified installation system that combines low-emission nora floors with perfectly matching installation products and also includes training and support for installers. The two designs of noracare can also be excellently combined with other nora floorings to create perfectly integrated interior design concepts. “With noracare uneo, we offer our customers a floor covering that features an interesting material combination of resilient rubber and randomly scattered granite splinters”, Holschuh adds. “The harmoniously coordinated colour palette of calm muted tones on the one hand and strong accent colours on the other gives rooms an unmistakable character”, she continues. The same applies to the second design, noracare seneo: this single-coloured rubber floor covering scores with iridescent marbled colour granules that are harmoniously matched to the basic colour. Available in 24 tone-in-tone colours, noracare seneo offers a wide range of options to fulfill various design wishes.

The new noracare special flooring meets high standards both visually and functionally. It combines design flexibility with outstanding hygienic and indoor air properties. Thus, it is the ideal choice for customers with high-quality demands and a sense for individual interior design.*
