NORTEC aurum

Temporary banner borrowed from the official Rhino DecorLux® Vinyl Flooring product page. Lindner has not published a wide NORTEC aurum installation photograph; this stand-in can be replaced later.

NORTEC aurum is Lindner’s calcium sulphate raised floor system for projects with the highest sustainability requirements. Lindner’s official product page (reviewed 13 November 2026) states that this system was the first raised floor in the world to be Cradle to Cradle Certified® Gold. The official page also states that the panel is made without plastic components, and that the flooring system can be produced carbon-neutral on request.

Values below are summarised from the official Lindner product page as of 13 November 2026. Many figures are published as ranges and may depend on system configuration or additional measures. Please confirm project-specific performance against the current Lindner data sheet. Items not stated on that page are omitted here.

The official page lists loose-laid tiles under covering suitability. Earth resistance is not stated on the NORTEC aurum product page reviewed for this preview, so it is not shown here. An EPD and an ISO 14021 self-declaration are described as available upon request, not as already-published documents.
