Covestro’s New Headquarters Building in Leverkusen Has PU-Bonded Rubber Granulate Terrazzo Flooring
March 01 (2021

The entrance area of a building gives visitors an important first impression. This is particularly true of the entrance to Covestro’s new campus office building in Leverkusen, where employees and visitors feel immediately welcomed in the large, bright atrium. One special attention-grabber is the decorative flooring. It consists of a polyurethane (PU)-bonded rubber granulate terrazzo and is sealed with an aqueous 2-component coating based on the company’s PU coating raw materials. The coating system is more environmentally compatible than conventional systems, also aesthetically pleasing, and it meets typical building requirements for impact sound insulation and walking comfort.
“Especially in buildings with high foot traffic, it’s important to have an abrasion-resistant and durable flooring so that it still looks appealing after several years,” explains Contardo Pafumi, Industrial Marketing Manager Construction at Covestro. “For such applications, polyurethane-based sealers have proven their worth. They are very robust and also easy to clean.”
