Logical rubber floor coverings
At this year’s NeoCon fair, nora rubber flooring introduced noraplan logic, one of the company’s four new product lines. The high-performance floorcovering is wear- and slip-resistant and features a manufacturing process that eliminates the need for waxing or sealing. Each of the line’s 20 colors is available in rolls and tiles and lends itself to institutional, commercial, retail, and light industrial applications.

The PVC-, plasticizer-, and halogen-free flooring contains high-quality rubber, mineral fillers, and environmentally compatible color pigments. Freudenberg Building Systems, Chicago. www.norarubber.com   [ Reader Service # 215 ]

Expressive wood flooring
Tarkett has expanded its offering of exotic and character species in both engineered and solid wood flooring. The new sustainably harvested South American species of tigerwood and Brazilian cherry, and the North American species of Blue Ridge maple, include a wide range of colors and grain variations. The Blue Ridge maple solid wood floor, shown here in Buckskin, features a natural grayish-blue staining caused by organic elements, sugars, and starches found in the wood.
