When function creates atmosphere

Experts in laboratory technology and the planning of safety-related facilities know: laboratories and cleanrooms are highly functional work environments with clearly defined requirements. In recent years, these requirements have continued to increase in an increasingly complex environment. In addition to integrating innovative technologies, adhering to strict safety standards, and optimizing efficiency and resource utilization, aspects such as comfort, design, and sustainability are now also coming into sharper focus. Atmosphere and well-being are gaining importance – even in areas that were long considered purely functional. This is precisely where the new rubber flooring noravant timber comes into play. It combines the appearance of natural wood design with the performance that is indispensable in laboratories and cleanrooms. The sheet flooring opens up new creative possibilities for areas where safety and design go hand in hand.

Design as a functional added value

Colors, materials, and surfaces influence motivation, concentration, and ultimately the quality of work results. The floor is an integral part of modern laboratory architecture and plays an important role within a comprehensive concept that considers both function and design equally. The calm oak look of noravant timber and its matte surface create a surface that intentionally recedes and yet produces a pleasant room atmosphere. "Especially in laboratory and cleanroom areas, the close connection between design and function is essential," says Bettina Haffelder, Vice President DACH nora. "With noravant timber, it has been possible to develop a flooring with an authentic wood look that is easy to clean and characterized by outstanding resistance to media."

Durability for demanding applications

As important as aesthetics are – in laboratories and cleanrooms, performance ultimately decides. The innovative surface technology ensures an exceptionally high resistance against a wide range of laboratory chemicals. This reduces cleaning effort and simultaneously helps maintain the quality of the rooms in the long term – for a permanently pleasant working environment and sustainable preservation of the laboratory property.
