WHAT’S NEW?


CLASSIC DESIGN IN ON- TREND COLOURS


Interface has introduced refreshed colourways for its noraplan stone rubber flooring collection. This new range elevates the classic, understated design of the collection with a modern, versatile colour palette, all while providing the performance benefits that nora by Interface is known for.


Designers and specifiers now have 16 colourways and two surface options to choose from. With its discreet, non- directional scatter design, noraplan stone can stand up to the demands of every space while providing an elevated design


that takes inspiration from the rich textures and tones of stone.


Kelly Simcox, Head of Global Design at Interface, said: “In 1989, we introduced noraplan stone as the first product to have contrasting rubber chips in its design, and it’s been a top performer for us ever since.


“With this updated palette, we’re providing architects and designers with new colour and aesthetic options for their projects. We kept a handful of our top-performing colourways and added other on-trend options that align with the needs of our customer, all while standing up to the demands of today’s hardworking interiors.”


TIMELESS DESIGN. FRESH COLOUR OPTIONS.


With noraplan stone, Interface offers a flooring solution that stands out with its distinctive, direction-free granulate texture and exceptionally durable surface. The refreshed collection offers even more design versatility and reflects the company’s commitment to predicting and responding to current market trends. It features a total of 16 colours, primarily composed of elegant neutrals, complemented by a selection of vibrant accent tones designed to create targeted visual highlights. Both the colour palette and the surface finishes are designed to be complementary to each other, providing endless design options for interior spaces.


HIGH-QUALITY RUBBER. LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE.


Designed for high-traffic areas in schools, hospitals, and public buildings, noraplan stone delivers measurable benefits in durability, resilience, and performance. With electrostatic dissipative and sound- absorbing acoustic options available, the product also meets extended functional requirements. Additionally, nora rubber floors do not require coating and offer an exceptionally long service life. This durability, combined with ease of maintenance, positively impacts life cycle costs and reduces the environmental footprint of the spaces where it is installed.
