Nora Rubber Flooring
The world leader in commercial rubber flooring. DuraRoots delivers expert Nora installations for healthcare, education, and high-performance facilities.
Manufacturer Overview
Nora Systems, now part of Interface, has been manufacturing premium rubber flooring in Germany since 1938. Their products are the global standard for environments that demand slip resistance, acoustic performance, and extreme durability — including hospitals, schools, laboratories, airports, and industrial facilities. Nora rubber floors are found in over 30 percent of European hospitals and are increasingly specified in American healthcare and education projects.
Unlike vinyl or laminate, Nora rubber flooring contains no PVC, no plasticizers, and no halogens. The material is inherently slip-resistant without the need for surface coatings, naturally antimicrobial, and maintains its performance characteristics for 25 to 30 years with minimal maintenance — no waxing, no stripping, just routine damp mopping.

The lifecycle cost advantage of Nora rubber is significant. While the upfront material cost is higher than vinyl, the elimination of waxing and stripping — which typically costs $0.30 to $0.50 per square foot annually — means total cost of ownership is often lower over a 20-year period. For healthcare facilities in Los Angeles and Orange County, this translates to substantial maintenance savings.
