This year, the high-pressure-printed rubber tiles, norament, from nora® Flooring Systems Ltd, celebrate their 50th birthday. There are many quality German products that are used synonymously to stand for a whole group of products. One word is enough; almost everyone knows what it means.

There is also one such classic products among resilient floor coverings: the pastille flooring from nora systems. The rubber flooring with round pastilles was the first product released in the norament series, and is still one of nora’s calling cards.

Over the past five decades, this line of coverings has firmly established itself in the global architectural business – many important buildings of various functions and sizes have been equipped with norament. Wherever floors have to withstand extremely high loads, architects, planners, and builders rely on the rubber flooring from Weinheim, which is not only resilient, but extremely wear-resistant.

norament flooring can be found in a variety of buildings all over the world: in airports, hospitals, schools and universities, office buildings, shops, and museums, as well as in research facilities, industrial buildings, and sports venues. Everywhere it is found, norament stands for quality “Made in Germany.“ To celebrate this birthday, nora systems has brought a new color onto the market. Shimmering particles made of real granite are incorporated into the high-quality stone gray rubber tiles for the special edition. “The new design with its extraordinary look is ideally suited for showcase areas,” according to CEO Andreas Mueller.
