I feel deeply relaxed My Avatara design floor 3.0 HOME PRODUCTS AVATARA DESIGN FLOOR 3.0 HEALTHY LIVING ter Hürne floors for your healthy living environment We create products that you come into contact with every day. They are an important part of your home. Our floors support the sense that you and your loved ones are in good hands. A healthy living environment is important in ensuring things stay that way. At ter Hürne, we have a responsibility towards you for a healthy living environment. As such, we take it upon ourselves to equip our floors with the best possible characteristics to offer you precisely that: a healthy living environment. DID YOU KNOW? Sick building syndrome Do you feel restless and weighed down? Do you have headaches throughout the day? It could be a case of sick building syndrome, which happens if we spend too much time indoors. Wall coverings, furniture and the floor have a constant effect on us. What we inhale is what these products have previously exhaled. We are talking about emissions here. If products contain pollutants, these evaporate over time and are released into the indoor air. Improvements in building insulation reduce the exchange between internal and external air. The pollutants remain in the room for longer. Do you also spend a lot of time at home? Then look for materials that are low in emissions. TALCUSAN® Good for low-emission living For Avatara, we use the new intelligent material, Talcusan® instead of PVC. It consists mainly of chalk and silicates plus a small proportion of the ecologically harmless material polypropylene. Consequently, Avatara is free of PVC, chlorine, plasticizers and other solvents. That means: none of these substances get into your indoor air in the first place. Talcusan® is excellent in low emissions. Free of PVC Free of phthalates Free of plasticizers Free of chlorine Free of solvents DID YOU KNOW? The Talcusan® cycle We manufacture the Avatara Design Floor in a gentle process. We avoid excessive temperature differences and unnecessary stressing of the materials. This relaxes the floor. The Talcusan® granules are an essential component of this. We reprocess the waste produced during the production process back into granules, which we feed back into the production. This creates a cycle that considerably reduces the waste and energy consumption in the manufacturing process. This not only increases the quality of the floor but also its sustainability footprint. Your Avatara Design Floor is completely recyclable. OUR CONTRIBUTION TO YOUR HEALTHY HOME ENVIRONMENT Not a trend but an attitude! Our father greatly appreciated nature and the influence of wood on our health. Health is our greatest asset. This value is not simply a trendy topic for us, but an attitude that we embody every day.

As such, we fulfil our promise to offer you the healthiest home environment floors on the market. 20 years ago, it wasn't about promoting the eco-INSTITUT seal, which was practically unknown to customers back then. ﻿Two decades ago, as today, we only the eco-INSTITUT for one reason only: to keep you and our children's world healthy.

Eco eco-INTITUT was established as an independent, private enterprise in the 1980s. It is one of the most experienced German laboratories in the analysis of indoor air for pollutants. We spend up to 90% of our lives in enclosed rooms. The quality of the air in the room determines our well-being and our health. eco-INSTITUT tests our floors for the entire manufacturing process for the ingredients we use for harmful ingredients such as plasticizers, heavy metals and pesticides for toxic gases that escape for smells The eco-label certifies products that are low in emissions. For better indoor air in your room. VOC VOC stands for volatile organic compound. Our homes and interiors are better insulated than they used to be. This means that substances that are in materials and evaporate remain in the indoor air for longer. Some of these substances have been proved to be harmful for our health. Originating in France, the A+ to C label serves as an indication for the emissions of building products and interior furnishing materials. The A+ label gives you and us a secure sense of healthy indoor air. CE CE stands for Conformité Européenne (European Conformity). With the CE mark, we declare that our products conform to all applicable EU regulations.
