What is BS EN 16776 - Heterogeneous polyurethane floor coverings about?
A polyurethane floor covering is a highly flexible, highly abrasion-resistant floor coating that is known for its longevity, and shine. Polyurethane floor coverings are popularly used products in building, and architectural planning because of their flexibility, and they allow high levels of foot traffic, and heavy machinery usage.
BS EN 16776 specifies the characteristics of heterogeneous resilient floor coverings based on polyurethane with thermosetting properties supplied in either roll, planks or tile form. BS EN 16776 provides guidelines for floor covering consisting of a wear layer, and other compact layers made from polyurethane which differ in composition, chemical crosslinking, and/or design and can contain a decor layer, reinforcement, and other backing. This specification does not apply for floor coverings that are specified in EN ISO 10582, EN ISO 24011, EN 1817 or EN 14565.
