Antistatic properties |
| Floor coverings then have antistatic properties when no irritating electrostatic charges arise when walking on them. This is the case if the maximum charge during the test according to EN 1815 is 2.0 kV. | |
|
|
Chair castor |
| During the chair castor test according to EN 425 no modifications regarding the appearance of the floor coverings are allowed to occur. Soft chair castors (type W) have to be used for resilient floor coverings. | |
|
|
Chemical resistance |
| The usage properties of floor coverings must not be affected when leaving certain chemicals on them for two hours. | |
|
|
Conductive |
| Permanently conductive flooring that allows electrostatic charges to rapidly flow to earth. | |
|
|
Heavy Rolling Loads |
| Heavy objects that roll and/or move across the floor surface, such as wheeled carts, furniture with casters and equipment dollies. | |
|
|
Impact sound insulation |
| Additional protection against the sound transmission from one room to the room underneath. | |

Suitability for underfloor heating |
| All floor coverings are suitable whose thermal resistively does not exceed 0.15 qm K/W. This applies to hot water heating systems and electric heating which are embedded in the screed. | |
