Why PVC-free renovation makes sense

PVC flooring often contains plasticizers and chlorine compounds. These can affect indoor air quality and are difficult to recycle. Choosing PVC-free renovation materials means opting for healthy living materials, better indoor air quality, and more durable solutions.

The best modern alternative: CERAMIN at a glance

CERAMIN is a mineral-based flooring and wall covering material that is completely free of PVC, chlorine, and plasticizers. It is an attractive alternative for anyone looking for a durable and healthy living solution in addition to classics such as parquet or vinyl.
