NORAPLAN FLOORING SYSTEMS

Maintenance Recommendations

 

Noraplan floor coverings are made of 100% Nora rubber. All Noraplan floor coverings allow for traditional maintenance procedures and provide slip resistance and exceptional wearability. Noraplan flooring does not need waxes or coatings which eliminates the dressing/stripping/dressing cycle necessary with other floor coverings.

To better serve our customers, we have combined efforts with manufacturers that specialize in maintenance equipment and cleaning materials for rubber floor coverings. Freudenberg Building Systems, Inc. has been working with TASKI for over 15 years. Lever Industrial's TASKI products, both chemical and mechanical, have maintained millions of square feet of Nora flooring. We suggest contacting a local TASKI distributor or Lever Industrial 1-800-827-5487 for special assistance or additional maintenance recommendations and/or products.
