Color matters. Research regularly proves its impact on everything: color can improve productivity, boost mood and balance emotion, and even promote health and wellness. Recognizing the importance of color in healthcare design, Gerflor recently refreshed the color palette of Mipolam Symbioz™ – the industry’s gold standard in homogeneous resilient sheet flooring.

First introduced in 2011, Mipolam Symbioz remains the industry’s first and only homogeneous sheet flooring made with 100% bio-based plasticizer. Featuring the patented Evercare^® Surface Treatment, which provides unparalleled resistance to stains and chemicals found in acute care hospitals, Mipolam Symbioz is ideal for highly trafficked healthcare environments. It is FloorScore™ certified with close to zero VOC emissions, nearly 100 times lower than today’s green building requirements, and is also HPD and EPD certified.

 But it’s the added value of a thoughtful, modern color line that makes Mipolam Symbioz a designers’ choice product, not only in healthcare but also for education interiors and other large, public spaces.

Informed by input from designers, as well as industry trends, the revitalized color line features 14 new colors, including blues, purples and greens, as well as more accent hues and neutrals. Mipolam Symbioz is now offered in a total of 31 contemporary, tone-on-tone, non-directional colors.

 The new generation of environmentally responsible homogeneous flooring, Mipolam Symbioz is available in 6’6” x 66’ 2mm thick rolls and is ISO 22196-certified to inhibit the spread of bacteria. Gerflor’s revolutionary Evercare surface treatment provides the best stain and chemical resistance in the industry, and no wax for life adds to its easy maintenance qualities. Made from 75% sustainable or renewable resources, Mipolam Symbioz is 100% allergen-free, antimicrobial and REACH compliant, and is 100% recyclable at the end of its useful life. HPD and EPD Type III certificates are available.

Mipolam is the original homogeneous resilient sheet flooring, created in 1937. For more information, visit gerflorusa.com.
