DURECO VON TER HRÜNE
Water stop & plastic-free
ter Hürne – manufacturer of engineered hardwood flooring and specialist for floor solutions from Südlohn in Münsterland – presents Dureco, its latest product range module, an almost completely organic floor, that is very water-resistant due to its intelligent technology product structure.
The new Dureco range from ter Hürne delivers what it promises. The prominently advertised attributes ‘Water Stop and plastic-free’ sum up the performance spectrum of the new floor in a nutshell. The exceptional resistance to standing water is achieved by the newly developed SEAL technology (see illustration for detailed description), a combination of various components, that together form effective protection. Two technologies stand out particularly in the water-resistant product structure.
An extremely dense wood composite baseboard (ExtremeDense), the core of the Dureco floor, in which very fine wood fibres are compressed together so tightly that moisture penetration is prevented to the maximum.
The second important top performer is SmartConnectPro, a click connection that, due to its special form of profiling, prevents water penetration on the edges of the planks and guarantees additional moisture protection. Dureco offers professional protection against moisture for up to 24 hours (based on the NALFA test).
The new floor from ter Hürne is ‘plastic-free’, mainly because of the choice of product materials. Dureco consists of up to 90% organic raw materials. The majority of these are wood-based materials that originate form PEFC-certified sustainable forestry. The Südlohn floor thus has an obligation to ensure that Dureco is eco-certified and awarded the Blue Angel.
