O.R.C.A. technology
The floor, that's not afraid of water
O.R.C.A = Organic1 Ridig Corboard Abrasion-proof
O.R.C.A. unites the best qualities of biologically based floors and conventional waterproof floor coverings. In O.R.C.A., organic1 materials are made resistant to liquids by means of a special technology.
The innovative O.R.C.A. board makes it possible to in-stall the flooring even in private bathrooms2 where, until now, only vinyl or tiles could be used. Furthermore, thanks to their outstanding thermal stability and nonfading properties, O.R.C.A. products also can be used in conservatories and rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows.
With 100 hours of splash-water protection guaranteed3, O.R.C.A. ensures durability. For areas prone to spills and accidents like kitchens, dining rooms, and bathrooms, O.R.C.A. is the ideal choice.
- Sustainable
Sustainability isn't just a buzzword for us, but part of our corporate strategy. It would never cross our minds to use wood that didn't come from sustainably managed forests. - CO2 -negative
O.R.C.A. boards are CO2 -negative because manufacturing O.R.C.A. releases less CO2 than was stored by the tree. - Organic
Our O.R.C.A. board consists of components based on biological raw materials and organic-chemical binding agents (synthetic resins) and thus is organic. - PVC-free
Our O.R.C.A. products contain no PVC**.
