GUT FÜR DICH

Gesundes Wohnen mit Ikō

In einer Welt, in der wir bis zu 90 Prozent unserer Lebenszeit in geschlossenen Räumen verbringen, wird die Luftqualität zu einem entscheidenden Faktor für unser Wohlbefinden und unsere Gesundheit. Der Bodenbelag, der einen Großteil unserer Wohnfläche ausmacht, spielt dabei eine zentrale Rolle für das Raumklima und gewinnt zunehmend an Bedeutung. Denn moderne Gebäudedämmungen reduzieren den Austausch von Innen- und Außenluft: Schadstoffe aus Tapeten, Möbeln und herkömmlichen Böden verbleiben so deutlich länger in der Raumluft.
Nicht so bei Ikō: Der Boden besteht fast ausschließlich aus Holz, ist frei von Plastik und schädlichen Inhaltsstoffen wie Weichmachern und Chlor – und garantiert so, dass du dich in deinem Zuhause rundum wohlfühlen kannst.

PLASTIC-FREE

The materials we use make it possible


Laminate floors consists almost entirely of wood and other organic materials. Every layer of the product’s structure contains healthy and sustainable components.

The healthy centrepiece of the floor is its compressed baseboard made from timber fibres. This is stabilised on the underside by a stabilising layer also made from wood fibres. The surface of the Dureco floor consists of resin, into which we mix the natural mineral corundum.

ter Hürne laminate floors make a sustainable contribution to a better carbon footprint in the same way as engineered hardwood flooring made from natural wood. One cubic metre of wood stores one tonne of CO². That helps to reduce the CO² levels in our atmosphere. Some of the wood in the baseboards comes from storm-damaged trees. These are thus put to good use and also continue to store CO².



4 natural layers


1. Top layer

We seal the surface with high-grade resin, into which we bind the natural mineral corundum.

2. Design layer

The design carrier consists of natural wood fibres, as does the baseboard.


3. Baseboard

The baseboard is the healthy centrepiece of the floor. We manufacture them from compressed wood fibres.

4. Backing layer

We even manufacture the wood pulp stabilising layer.
SUSTAINABLE FORESTRY

Because we need nature – and not the other way round

3 grüne Gründe für Ikō


Aus nachhaltigen Beständen

Ikō Laminatboden besticht nicht nur durch seine ästhetische Anziehungskraft, sondern auch durch sein Umweltbewusstsein. Hergestellt aus nahezu vollständig natürlichen Materialien, vermeiden wir bei Ikō konsequent schädliche Inhaltsstoffe. Unsere Herstellung basiert außerdem auf Holz aus nachhaltiger Forstwirtschaft, wobei rund 80 Prozent aus heimischen Wäldern stammen – ein klares Bekenntnis zur regionalen Verantwortung.

Langlebig und entlang der Kreislaufwirtschaft gedacht

Unsere Überzeugung von Nachhaltigkeit geht noch weiter: Im Sinne der Kreislaufwirtschaft nutzen wir vermehrt Altholz in der Plattenherstellung. Dabei verschwenden wir keine Teile des Baums, sondern verwenden sogar das, was normalerweise ungenutzt bleiben würde. Die verdichtete Trägerplatte des Ikō Laminatbodens, bestehend aus Holzfasern, wird von einem Gegenzug aus denselben Materialien stabilisiert. Selbst der Kleber, den wir verwenden, entnehmen wir zum überwiegenden Teil aus den im Holz vorhandenen Harzen. Das Ergebnis: ein Bodenbelag, der nicht nur umweltfreundlich, sondern auch extrem langlebig ist.

Gut für die Umwelt, gut für dich

Unser Ikō Premium-Laminatboden erfüllt nicht nur höchste ökologische Standards, sondern auch die Anforderungen für ein gesundes Raumklima. Unsere Böden übertreffen die gesetzlichen Vorgaben für emissionsfreies Wohnen. So lebst du nicht nur stilvoll, sondern auch mit einem guten Gefühl.

DID YOU KNOW?

Trees are natural climate protectors


Trees are important for our climate. Their trees produce the oxygen that is essential to life. And they absorb and bind the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the air. Every cubic metre of wood stores one tonne of CO².
This CO₂ even remains bound if a construction material is made from the wood, such as a floor covering for example.

Building with wood thus helps to support the climate.

ANTIBACTERIAL

More than just clean


Spilled liquids, pets and the soles of your shoes transfer a wide variety of bacteria onto your floor.

Your floor not only looks beautiful, it remains clean and free of pathogens, because the special surface treatment reduces the growth of bacteria.

So your floor is more than clean.


OUR CONTRIBUTION TO YOUR HEALTHY HOME ENVIRONMENT

Not a trend but an attitude!


Our father greatly appreciated nature and the influence of wood on our health. Health is our greatest asset. This value is not simply a trendy topic for us, but an attitude that we embody every day.

To keep this relevant, , 20 years ago we brought in the eco-INSTITUT. It has the highest standard in the world for testing emissions and pollutants in products. It confirms to us that our products meet all the requirements for healthy living.

Our responsibility towards our customers drives us on to constantly invest in forward-looking technology. As such, we fulfil our promise to offer you the healthiest home environment floors on the market.

20 years ago, it wasn't about promoting the eco-INSTITUT seal, which was practically unknown to customers back then. Two decades ago, as today, we only the eco-INSTITUT for one reason only: to keep you and our children's world healthy.

For your safety and ours

You come into close contact with your ter Hürne floor every day. Want it to be healthy and sustainable for you and your environment? Do you need to feel safe?

So do we!

To ensure safety, we are building on third-party assessments.

These independent institutions are the warranty of our products:

Blue Angel


When shopping, more and more people are looking for products that are durable and environmentally friendly. This is exactly what the Blue Angel stands for. For 40 years, the eco-label has guaranteed high standards for the protection of our environment and health - independently and credibly.
Steffi Lemke (Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection)

For more than 40 years, the Environmental Label of the Federal Government of Germany has been identifying environmentally friendly products and services. No other label in the non-food sector is as broadly based. Many everyday products bear the eco-label: for example, paints, furniture, detergents or recycled paper.

The Blue Angel is an impartial and economically independent voluntary product label. This is guaranteed by the Federal Ministry for the Environment as the label holder, the Federal Environment Agency for the scientific development of the award criteria, the "Environmental Label Jury" as the decision-making body, and RAL gGmbH as the independent certification organisation.

Good for you. Good for the environment.

Eco


The
eco-INSTITUT 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 in the room determines our well-being and our health.

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 for our health.

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

Note:
ter Hürne laminate floors with the dimensions 1,286 mm x 194 mm and 1,286 mm x 243 mm are awarded the A+ label. All other ter Hürne laminate floors have an A rating label.

The label gives you and us a secure sense of healthy indoor air.
