Floor materials

Our tests certify the quality of floor material for manufacturers, providers and users.

Purpose

We test the material e.g. by abrasion and friction measurements. You will get a report that tells you about the quality of the product. As an independent company we contribute to the quality to all of our customers

We are happy to help you with tests both during development of the material and marketing. We perform recurrent testing; when you have changes in your product specifications or when you need verifications of the quality. We use several standards to all tests, and we can also help you with problem solving.

Method
