each installation of Eco Royal, for instance, contributes to a massive reduction in waste!
This makes the flooring perfect for tough environments. For traditional uses in private cellars and storage environments, we recommend Bergo Royal, which is regarded as an all-round product. For industrial and public environments, which often require something slighter tougher, we recommend Bergo Premium.
THIS IS A FLOOR FROM BERGO FLOORING Bergo Flooring is a floating floor that can be laid on most surfaces without screws, nails or glue. Thanks to the open structure of the flooring, the surface underneath can breathe. Bergo Flooring is available in several different designs and colours. Accessories such as edge strips, corner strips, expansion strips (System 1) and removal tools are available.

ing organic can be placed on it. The drying time is often several months, which prevents you from using the space. Bergo flooring cuts this waiting period, as its construction places a non-organic distance between the floor and any storage, allowing the surface underneath to “breathe.”
2. Vacuum the surface and remove any organic material prior to installing Bergo flooring. 3. It’s a good idea to place a fibre cloth, such as a ground cloth, between the Bergo flooring and the surface underneath to achieve a sound-proofing effect. 4. Start in a corner and remember to always turn the eyes in the same direction. 5. Fix the tiles with the protruding rings over the eyes and fit them together with sharp blows using a rubber mallet. 6. Always install Bergo flooring at least 10 mm from the wall, door thresholds, etc. 7. See detailed laying instructions on www.bergoflooring.se.
Test results from SP
(Technical Research Institute of Sweden ) Older homes with unventilated cellars often have high levels of relative humidity in the concrete slabs, either through vapour diffusion or condensation on their concrete surface. This often happens in summer. These adverse conditions can cause problems with moisture and mould if material of an organic nature is stored in direct contact with the moist concrete surface. SP’s tests clearly show that a Bergo floor delays the time it takes for moisture to penetrate the material placed on a Bergo floor.
Thick corrugated cardboard storage boxes were placed directly on the concrete surface that was prepared from below with water to simulate damp ground.
Results after 21 days: Strong moisture absorption in the bottom of the box.
Thick corrugated cardboard storage boxes were placed directly on Bergo flooring with the concrete underneath prepared from below with water to simulate damp ground.
Results after 21 days: No visible moisture absorption.
Excerpts from SP’s report: “In conclusion, the Bergo tile can prevent capillary transport of both penetrating moisture through a concrete slab on the ground and condensed moisture on the surface of the concrete slab into material placed on top of Bergo tiles. They also allow for ventilation due to the air gap between the Bergo tiles and the concrete slabs.”
This is how our customers have solved their problems with cold, damp and dull floors.
