a “natural look" in floor coverings can choose
from a very wide range of natural floors at tilo and all of
them meet stringent building-biological requirements:
The material Wood is unchallenged
in first place. It is gaining ever more ground in many areas
as a result of its natural building-biological properties.
Parquet, above all solid parquet, but also multiple-layered
floors with a special composite structure and that have been
specially treated, can make the heart of a flooring manufacturer
with a thorough building-biological
alignment beat faster with excitement.
But other natural materials derived from vegetable origins
present themselves in fresh designs too. The material
Cork (from the regenerating bark of the cork oak) and
the material Linoleum, offer
a hitherto unsuspected potential for the creative design of
living space.
There is no part of a building with which people have so much
direct contact as with the floor. The environmental compatibility
of the materials used in a building are of decisive importance,
especially in the case of the floor because our sensibility
is significantly affected by the floor that has direct contact
with our feet. The harder and the more remote a floor surface
material is from us and our living, organic existence as human
beings, the more likely it is that posture damage, cold related
illness or kidney troubles will result.
Terms such as foot warmth, step elasticity, ease of care,
hygiene (allergies!) and a pleasing appearance describe qualities
to which a floor covering must make its contribution.
Environmentally compatible installation techniques and an
ecological surface treatment are the assurance of a through-and-through
ecological approach. That is why tilo developed NATwood,
a new improvement treatment that has been put to successful
use in flooring for some years. The resistance of the wood
has been greatly increased while its expansion and shrinking
qualities have been significantly reduced by charging the
wood with biologically degradable materials.This means tilo
"NATwood" laminate prefabricated parquets elements
can be installed faster and with fewer problems. It is no
surprise then, that in construction
biology (bio=life) in particular, health and flooring
are closely intertwined.
