Nora Floor Coverings are durable and wear-resistant. Their extremely long life is considerably above the average of other resilient floor coverings, for this reason the rubber floor coverings are used in highly frequented areas such as Airports. Nora Floor Coverings are slip-resistant, pleasantly warm under foot, permanently resilient, and combine high walking comfort and good footfall sound absorption. They are resistant to cigarette burns, classified as flame-retardant and do not contain any PVC, plasticizers or halogens. In case of fire, no hydrochloric gas is released which can lead to caustic burns of the respiratory tract and which might form hydrochloric acid when combined with fire fighting water. Nora floor coverings also do not emit substances in harmful concentrations; therefore, they are safe for children, whose breathing zones are closer to the floor.
