PRODUCTS We take a look at some of the latest produ THE FLOOR AS A CANVAS
- INSPIRED BY PAINTING With the new noraplan lona rubber
covering, now so many different graphic designs can be integrated into the rubber flooring. This is possible due to a special manufacturing method. The requested design is incorporated into the covering during vulcanisation at a high temperature and under a large pressure - for a permanently attractive look that will last for decades.
A different effect depending on the colour combination The name of the new covering corresponds to the Spanish word for canvas. “This sums up the advantages of noraplan lona nicely”, said Product Manager Dirk Oswald. “The flooring forms the basis in its base colour, with different
designer colours, the planner can bring his/her ideas to life. The effect in the room is very different depending on the colour combination and vantage point.’
noraplan lona is also all-rubber so pushing objects such as beds or food trolleys in hospitals and chairs or tables in schools will not cause damage to the robust covering. It is therefore recommended for heavily used areas in healthcare and education, as well as for other public buildings.
24 different colours noraplan lona is available in 24 basic colours in the standard range. The 12 neutral grey, brown and beige shades are complemented by 12 attractive accent colours, which have an effect that is saturated, yet subdued at the same time.

EXPONA FLOORING IS FASHION
FORWARD AT HANDBAG CLINIC High-design luxury vinyl tile flooring from Polyflor’s Expona Commercial collection was recently chosen as part of a sophisticated and stylish interior design scheme for Handbag Clinic in Islington, London.
Handbag Clinic specialises in the care, repair and restoration of designer handbags and leather fashion accessories, as well as selling pre-owned luxury goods in their handbag boutique. The design scheme for the Islington branch refurbishment was created by Aubury Design, a Newcastle- based interior design service.
Expona Commercial luxury vinyl tiles in the Crème Swirl design were selected for the shop floor area. The subtle Crème Swirl design from the Abstract effects collection within Expona Commercial has high end design appeal, complementing the store interior and the luxury handbags on display. The same design was also installed in the Newcastle branch of Handbag Clinic.
Sally Rea, Interior Designer at Aubury Design commented: “We were really impressed with the wide variety of stunning effects within the Expona Commercial range so there was plenty of choice when it came to selecting a beautiful floor design that would fit in with the plans we had for Handbag Clinic. I loved that the Crème Swirl luxury vinyl tiles gave the effect of marble flooring but at a cost that was suitable for our budget.”
