Description

PLYKO® “Abrasion Group: T” is a plastic flooring woven in lengths primarily by weaving, vulcanising and coating. It is made up of a structured woven wear surface (88% PVC/ 12% Polyester) and a technical coated under layer based on reinforced PVC (fibreglass). This under layer on the back of the flooring offers greater resistance, improves comfort and reduces noise impact. The composition of PLYKO® floorings is a key factor in their success. PLYKO® The factories are certified ISO 14001 and ISO 9001:2008.
