Gerflor is an
international flooring specialist who is leading a green revolution, with the
manufacture of aesthetically pleasing products that meet eco-challenges head-on
by using increased renewable organic raw materials, which in turn lower the
environmental impact at every stage of a product’s life.
The
Mipolam Symbioz™ homogenous range, is the company’s first flooring to
contain a 100% bio-based plasticiser made of corn and wheat.
The
range now includes 38 stunning colours overall, with 14 brand new colours
supplementing Mipolam Symbioz™ and a further 7 added to the new Mipolam Symbioz™ Nova collection
(with a rubber appearance). The colour palette across the two complementary
designs allows designers to specify creative flooring solutions for a vast
selection of hardworking applications and markets.
The products are
perfect for those projects where there is a need for clear delimitation of
areas. The variety of new colours offer a clean, aesthetic design approach
perfectly suited to a multitude of health and education environments.
Mipolam
Symbioz™ is an ideal choice for hospitals, private clinics and elderly homes for
bedrooms, corridors, waiting rooms and reception rooms. Schools and nursery
groups can also enjoy huge benefits for indoor play areas, corridors,
restaurants, bedrooms and nurseries.
Gerflor’s
R&D heritage and technical capability with Mipolam Symbioz™ also delivers a
high performing product that has a T Group wear rating for demanding and high
traffic areas, superior abrasion resistance and comes with the exclusive and
patented Evercare® surface treatment for easy maintenance (up to 30%
savings) with no wax needed for the life of the product and an unrivalled level
of chemical and stain resistance.
The
combination of Evercare™ with anti-bacterial and fungicidal treatments also
ensures that stains such as blood and iodine can be safely and hygienically
removed with a minimum of water and detergent (up to 80% reduced water and
detergent consumption). This reduces maintenance costs and lowers the
environmental impact. Mipolam Symbioz™ already has an outstanding reputation for its
performance in health and education buildings across the world.
In
addition to these attributes, the range is highly flexible, easy to weld and
easy to cove and cut when installing which is great news for those projects
that need to be completed in a short time frame. Mipolam Symbioz™ as with all
Mipolam healthcare flooring is ISO 22196 certified to limit the spread of
infections (including MRSA, E. coli and S.aureus) at 99% and delivers TVOC
Effective 28 days <10μg/m3 => indoor air quality. Mipolam Symbioz™ is also 100%
REACH compliant, Floorscore certified and 20% lighter than standard products.

and the new Mipolam Symbioz™ Nova

themselves, whilst at the same time delivering outstanding performance that is

education projects that need good resistance to chemicals and a
smart aesthetic approach, Gerflor’s Mipolam Symbioz™ range of
flooring (incorporating the new Nova design) delivers one of the best surface
treatments on the market, and the lowest environmental impact at every step of
