Industrial facilities have special requirements. In cleanrooms, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and life science facilities quality requirements are particularly stringent. In these areas flooring plays a decisive role in achieving the required levels of air purity. nora provides industrial flooring systems which meet the critical requirements within these spaces while maintaining exceptional durability.
Industrial floor coverings in production areas such as assembly, workshop and storage areas are exposed to extreme stresses. Forklifts and heavy equipment place high demands on the dynamic compressive loading of the industrial floor. nora industrial flooring systems can easily withstand dynamic loads of up to 6 N/mm2. Substances such as oils, greases, chemicals and bacteria can come into contact with industrial flooring. nora high performance floorings are extremely abrasion-resistant, dimensionally stable, resistant to chemicals and easy to clean.
Industrial flooring for areas within electronics facilities often needs to include Electrostatic Dissipative (ESD) protection.
When electronic components are produced or installed, they need to be effectively protected from these possible discharges. Even discharges as low as 100 V, which are not noticeable to people, can damage sensitive components. This damage is often only noticed by the customer when the finished product does not work properly. This quickly leads to high consequential costs because ESD protection has failed during the production process. Within the right system, industrial floor coverings from nora can contribute to a high quality and functionality of important electronic products.
nora offers a variety of industrial and life science flooring for a wide range of applications, including data centres, production halls, laboratories, clean rooms or working spaces. nora floor coverings for industrial floors for various additional application areas such as offices, show rooms, entrances, receptions, cafeterias or break rooms, changing rooms or communal rooms create a relaxed atmosphere and are also suitable for those sensitive to allergies, due to their low emission and excellent hygenic properties. With nora industrial flooring in offices, a relaxed atmosphere is created that promotes a better working environment. Even in general circulation areas, on mezzanine floors, raised-access floors or in stairways, nora offers an attractive industrial floor covering solution with complementary accessories.
Industrial Applications
Advantages of nora floorings for industry and life sciences
Floors are often exposed to extreme loads. This often results in not only damage from impacts, but also signs of wear and scratches when heavy machinery and vehicles roll on them for a long time. nora rubber floors are particularly resistant and extremely durable. You floor will remain looking new for decades to come.
Specific solutions for long-lasting flooring
Your industry and life science spaces must handle enormous static and dynamic loads. Whether you are using simple hand trucks, fork lifts, or other transportation equipment: nora rubber floors can handle your most extreme loads, because they are exceedingly abrasion-resistant, dimensionally stable, and easy to clean. Even after decades, with proper care, your nora floor will show almost no change in appearance.
Specific solutions for Fork lift suitability
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can endanger the quality and functionality of your important electronics. When electronic components are produced or installed they need to be effectively protected from these possible discharges. Even discharges of as little as 100 V, which are not noticeable to a human being, can damage sensitive components.
Specific solutions for ESD protection
In clean rooms or other, sensitive areas within industrial facilities flooring is frequently subject to chemical cleaning and disinfecting agents, corrosive liquids or other media. It is therefore important that floor coverings meet maximum requirements in terms of resistance to these substances in relevant application areas.
