Designed for high-traffic areas where a wood aesthetic is desired, this porcelain tile line replicates the look of wood in a contemporary European style, with clean lines and natural wood grains.

Available in wide planks and chevrons.

 

5. Norament grano | Nora Systems

Norament Grano

Nora systems relaunched its rubber floor covering meant to bring the look of Italian terrazzo tiles to interior spaces. The floor covering has an uncoated surface that reduces maintenance costs and increases value throughout its lifecycle. The dense, nonporous surface helps repel dirt and bacteria, resist stains, and is naturally fungistatic. The coating is made without polyvinyl chloride (PVC), plasticizers (phthalates), and halogens (e.g., chlorine) for improved indoor air quality. It meets or exceeds OSHA requirements for slip resistance. Norament grano offers a redesigned pallet of 32 new colors, with a balance of base shades and color-accentuated granules.

Prosoco Defacer Eraser before and after

Defacer Eraser Graffiti Remover offers a more powerful punch than its predecessor. The liquid formula eliminates graffiti with a shorter dwell time. It is formulated based on contractor feedback from the field and offers more effective penetration to erase graffiti while also featuring the same ecological advantages as Prosoco’s other graffiti-removing products, with biodegradable components. A big improvement over previous iterations is that users will notice less ghosting left on the substrate. Defacer Eraser is designed to work with Prosoco’s Blok-Guard anti-graffiti treatments. It is water-rinsable, compliant with all known VOC regulations, and comes with a citrus scent.

 

8. Strait Rx | Ecore
