My Avatara design floor 3.0

ter Hürne floors for your consciously designed living environment

We create products that you come into contact with every day. They are an important part of your home. Our floors support the sense that you and your loved ones are in good hands. Since a consciously designed living environment is important in ensuring things stay that way.

At ter Hürne, we have a special responsibility towards you. As such, we take it upon ourselves to equip our floors with the best possible characteristics to offer you precisely that: a consciously designed living environment.

DID YOU KNOW?

Sick building syndrome


Do you feel restless and weighed down? Do you have headaches throughout the day?

It could be a case of sick building syndrome, which happens if we spend too much time indoors. Wall coverings, furniture and the floor have a constant effect on us. What we inhale is what these products have previously exhaled. We are talking about emissions here. If products contain pollutants, these evaporate over time and are released into the indoor air. Improvements in building insulation reduce the exchange between internal and external air. The pollutants remain in the room for longer.

Do you also spend a lot of time at home?

Then look for materials that are low in emissions.






Germany's best-known environmental label, the Blue Angel, identifies products that meet defined environmental and health criteria. The Blue Angel therefore not only tests the sustainability of our floors, but also certifies that Avatara is particularly low in emissions and provides a pleasant living feel.

TALCUSAN®

Good for low-emission living


For Avatara, we use the new intelligent material, Talcusan® instead of PVC.
It consists mainly of chalk and silicates plus a small proportion of polypropylene.

Consequently, Avatara is free of PVC, chlorine, plasticizers and other solvents. That means: none of these substances get into your indoor air in the first place.

Talcusan® is excellent in low emissions.

The perfect housemate for your family

Avatara is made for life. Thanks to its sophisticated composition, our design floor offers numerous features that make your everyday life much easier. For example, the special surface structure makes it easier to remove dust, pollen and other particles. That is not the case with many other floors. Dirt and dust also have no chance of settling, Avatara is particularly easy to clean.


It also has a nice side benefit:

Thanks to the hygienic, antibacterial surface, Avatara retains its look much better than conventional vinyl floors. Dirt does not permanently settle in the surface structure avoiding unsightly effects. 

The image shows a comparison of conventional vinyl flooring, before and after.

By the way:

Avatara gives everyone a good feeling, even small childen. That‘s becauseour floor is saliva-proof and guaranteed not to release any harmful substances into the indoor air.

Blue Angel

Blue Angel identifies products that meet defined environmental and health criteria.

That's good for you. Good for the environment.

Eco


eco-INTITUT was established as an independent, private enterprise in the 1980s. It is one of the most experienced German laboratories in the analysis of indoor air
for pollutants. We spend up to 90% of our lives in enclosed rooms. The quality of the air contributes to a pleasant indoor climate.

eco-INSTITUT tests our floors

  • for the entire manufacturing process
  • for the ingredients we use
  • for harmful ingredients such as plasticizers, heavy metals and pesticides
  • for toxic gases that escape
  • for smells

The eco-label certifies products that are low in emissions. For better indoor air in your room.

VOC


VOC stands for volatile organic compound. Our homes and interiors are better insulated than they used to be. This means that substances that are in materials and evaporate remain in the indoor air for longer. Some of these substances have been proved to be harmful to us.

Originating in France, the A+ to C label serves as an indication for the emissions of building products and interior furnishing materials.

The A+ label gives you and us a secure sense of good indoor air.

CE

CE stands for Conformité Européenne (European Conformity). With the CE mark, we declare that our products conform to all applicable EU regulations. The EU regulations include, among other things, requirements on formaldehyde and VOC emissions as well as further product-specific requirements.
