LOW LIFECYCLE COSTWhen investing in new flooring, it is

important to consider the total lifecycle

cost – as the cost to maintain a fl oor over

its life span can substantially exceed the

purchase price. Lifecycle costs include

initial cost, installation cost, operation and

maintenance cost as well as replacement

cost.

Thanks to its resistance to both scratching

and contamination, Upofl oor Zero has a

low lifecycle cost and is perfect for public

spaces exposed to high traffi c and other

challenging conditions.

clean thermoplastic polymers. The environment

has been considered in every stage of the Upofl oor

Zero development and production process.

The manufacturing process has been designed

in accordance with the EN14001 standard. The

wastage material is fully recycled during production

and the product can be safely disposed of as normal

energy-producing waste.

HARD WEARING AND CHEMICALRESISTANT Thanks to its material construction and

ionomer surface enhancement, Upofl oor

Zero is extremely durable and resistant to

various chemicals, acids, alkalis and solvents.

The plasticizer free material resists discolora-

tion and doesn´t react with rubber.

EASY TO INSTALLWith its fl exible construction, Upofl oor Zero is

easy to install. The seams are welded using PVC

free Zero welding rods.

The installation is performed using water-based

acrylic dispersion adhesives approved by Upofl oor.

The backing of the fl ooring has been roughened

to maximize adhesion.

Information about installation and approved

adhesives can be found on www.upofl oor.com

EASY TO CLEAN AND MAINTAINZero fl oors off er a durable and hygienic choice

with a low life cycle cost; they are highly economical

from the viewpoints of property owners, users,

maintenance personnel and the environment.

Zero fl oors do not require polishing or dry buffi ng

which means easier cleaning and savings in

maintenance costs.

Zero fl oors’ ease of maintenance is based on their

high performance ionomer surface reinforcement

along with excellent scratch resistance and

antistatic properties. As the material contains no

plasticizers, it also features a superior resistance

to chemicals, staining and does not react with

rubber.

The fl ooring is easy to maintain by hand or by the

means of a machine. Contamination accumulated

during the construction phase can be easily

removed after installation and the space can be

quickly converted into productive use. Loose

contamination is removed with a vacuum cleaner,

mop or brush. A scrubber, a combination machine

or a fl oor care machine with red or corresponding

pads or medium hard brushes can be used with

mild alkaline or alkaline detergents. It is advisable

to alternate dry and damp methods in daily mainte-

nance. Care products can be used periodically to

maintain the fl oor s easy care properties.

For in-depth fl oor care instructions, please see

www.upofl oor.com.

SAFE Upofl oor Zero fl oors do not support combustion

in fi re situations and do not generate dangerous

combustion gases such as hydrogen chloride

or hydrogen cyanide.

Thanks to their slight embossing, they provide

good slip-resistance.

The material does not act as a substrate for

bacterial growth.

The fl oors are antistatic.

TECHNICAL DATA

CERTIFIED QUALITY

EXCELLENT CHEMICAL RESISTANCE

Due to their compact ionomer reinforced wearing surface, Zero

fl oors are outstandingly resistant to chemicals, such as acids, alkalis

and solvents, and do not react with rubber.

APPLICATION AREASSuitable for public spaces subject to heavy wear,

including hospitals, schools, shops, offi ces, day-care

centres and nursing homes.

Since the start in 1950’s, Upofloor has revolutionized our view of traditional public space flooring – focusing on creating smart flooring materials that are environmentally friendly, strong and easy to maintain.

Upofloor was founded in the small town of Nokia in western

Finland, one of the most entrepreneurial and innovative

centres in Europe. It was here that the Nokia Group started its

operations in the 19th century as a small paper mill, taking its

name from the city. The innovative spirit that took the Nokia

telecom brand to worldwide success has made a strong mark

on the city, and has attracted a number of innovative companies

over the decades. One of these is Upofloor, which was founded

in Nokia’s old paper mill and which was also owned by the

Nokia Group for a period of time.

Upofloor’s founding vision was to offer the Finnish market an

innovative product that was catching on around the world,

i.e. resilient vinyl flooring. Production expanded in 1960’s to

include public space resilient sheet floorings and flexible

vinyl floorings for domestic use. Meanwhile, a growing demand

from other countries resulted in continuously expanding

exports.

Today, Upofloor has successfully produced, marketed and

installed millions of square meters of floorings all around the

world.

Focus on environmentally sound floorings

Upofloor product development activities are still based in

the pioneering town of Nokia. Focus is on designing innovative

PVC-free, environmentally friendly flooring that is durable and

easy to maintain.

The first PVC-free flooring was launched in 2004. Since

then, Upofloor has become a pioneer in PVC-free floorings,

aiming to continuously expand our offering in design-driven,

technologically advanced and sustainable flooring. Upofloor

has also been a leading quartz tile manufacturer for over 60

years, providing uniquely designed flooring to many types of

commercial installations.

Part of Kährs Group

Today, Upofloor has two production facilities in Finland. The

company is a part of the Kährs Group. Established in 1857, Kährs

is the world’s oldest and leading wood flooring manufacturer

with worldwide brand recognition.
