Flooring made of Castor Oil

With the growing demand of acting in an ecological and sustainable manner within the Architecture and Interior Design industries, Vorwerk Carpets has launched a new organic elastic design flooring named ‘RE/COVER Green’.

RE/COVER Green is made of high-grade ecological elastomers and 90% regenerative raw materials. One basic component is castor and rapeseed oil from the seeds of the tropical castor oil tree. The Organic Polyols extracted from castor and rapeseed oil replaces the PVCs which are used for conventional flooring design.

Unique Designs

There are 30 unique styles and designs, providing a wide variety of ecological and unique floor options to fulfil high aesthetic standards.

Plain Hued Styles: The Plain Hued styles are Monochrome, giving a discreet sparkling effect inspired by a water surface in motion and a lively appearance as it slightly reflects the surroundings. Click here to view the collection

Printed Styles: Interpretations of woods, stone and metal. Click here to view the collection

Both styles give a seamless look and harmonise well with all the colours in the SCALE and FreeScale range

“The collection entitled RE/COVER green signifies an optimal design basis for architects and planners. As a result of the material’s ecological composition and its ‘look’ within the colour code and artwork, RE/COVER green is going to contribute towards initiating particularly aesthetic moments in the field of ‘Green Building’,” according to Hadi Teherani.
