Characteristics of the floor space
Textile floor coverings - Technical data

The surface in use is the one that remains visible after installation, and presents aesthetic and comfort characteristics (color, look and feel). Performance characteristics are essential:

• appearance preservation ;

• life expectancy or durability ;

• abrasion resistance ;

• crush resistance ;

• resilience ;

• stain resistance ;

• dirt resistance ;

• cleanability.

These different parameters are linked:

• appearance retention depends on abrasion resistance, crush resistance, resilience, stain and dirt resistance;

• Durability is linked to appearance retention, abrasion resistance (wear), resilience and cleanability;

• cleanability depends on resilience and resistance to stains and soiling.
