Our Approach

As part of Interface and as a world market leader for rubber floors, we supply important components for building efficiency with our high-quality products and system solutions. However, our ambition and solutions go far beyond that of a classic floor supplier. We see buildings as holistic systems and have adapted our approach accordingly at all stages of the project.

We at nora systems have interpreted "Made in Germany" much more creatively and thus created a real value-added system when it comes to flooring. It is a value-added system that works for all nora customers worldwide and makes the difference that we proclaim with our "Creating Safer Spaces" statement.

Interface and nora share a unique capacity to cover every area of a building – all from a single source. We can help you find ideal floor solutions with the precise functional properties needed for a room – from classrooms to meeting rooms, retail and public areas to stairwells, laboratories and operating theatres.

Together, Interface and nora are globally accessible with offices and people on six continents and in more than 100 countries.

Production Safety

Procurement of sustainable raw materials, quality control in the production process, certifications for all relevant requirements, extensive in-house testing, and close cooperation with testing institutes: this is how we at nora systems ensure that our production standards always have the highest priority over the long run. Through active participation in committees and industry panels, we are concerned not only with the needs of today, but also - above all - of tomorrow. The future reliability of our system solutions is thus guaranteed at all times.

Decision-making safety

We know that in construction projects, decisions are often made under pressure and with a degree of uncertainty. For this reason, our market specialists, project coordinators, and application engineers provide global access to comprehensive expertise. All of this knowledge is sustainably integrated into our solutions, so that our customers can always make the right decision, at the right time, based on essential information. In this way, we reduce risk sustainably.

Process safety

Large construction projects are complex undertakings, and involve many risks in different areas. Our complete project management is designed with this complexity in mind, and supports our customers with optimal service during all process steps: from initial planning by our project specialists, to support for preparatory processes on the construction site, to production and logistics that can react quickly and flexibly to all requirements, to installation supervision and cleaning training by our application engineers. We have the resources to provide necessary support for the most complex of projects. We thus offer our customers an extremely sophisticated safety net.

Results safety

Each floor must fulfill its functions over the long term. In addition to standard functions, we also pursue a value-added approach at nora. We see flooring as a relevant platform in rooms, and provide it with additional benefits that have a positive effect on the overall performance of a building. Whether it is a question of acoustics or ergonomics, we guarantee the newest installation technologies and use color to create environments that promote healing or concentration. As the second largest area within a building, for us, a floor covering is much more than just a floor covering.

Experience safety

We are part of the spatial experience of customers and patients, but also of employees, and thus directly affect economic performance. This vision drives our nora team to orient itself with solutions to end-customers’ requirements. How can we help the nursing staff create a better working environment with our nora solutions? How do we offer pupils and students an optimal learning environment? How do we provide facility managers with solutions that help you keep their areas operating optimally, 24/7? This approach leads us to value-added solutions that go far beyond the classic advantages of flooring products.

Investment Safety

We develop our floor solutions with life-cycle-costs in mind, because flooring is a relevant investment and cost factor for long-term real estate investment. The lifespan of our nora floor solutions is of utmost importance, in addition to many added-value components such as uptime, cleaning costs, and ergonomics. With all these components, we ensure that investment in nora flooring solutions pays off sustainably, and that you can realize the desired added value for your investment.
