Your questions.

CERAMIN is a material developed by CLASSEN for floor and wall coverings. It consists of a high proportion of mineral fillers combined with polypropylene and contains no PVC, plasticizers, or chlorine. CERAMIN is waterproof, dimensionally stable, and relatively lightweight. Depending on the product, there are click-lock, adhesive, and wall solutions available for new construction, renovation, and restoration projects.

Depending on the product, CERAMIN can be used in living areas, kitchens, bathrooms, and sunrooms. CERAMIN is not intended for use in outdoor areas, saunas, or steam rooms. It is always essential to ensure that the specific product is approved for the intended space and that it is installed properly according to the instructions.

CERAMIN flooring has a slip-resistant surface and is therefore also suitable for damp environments such as bathrooms. You can find information on the slip resistance of a specific product and the applications for which it is approved in the respective technical product information.

CERAMIN has high lightfastness. This ensures that the designs retain their color for a long time, even when exposed to intense sunlight. You can find the specific technical details for each product on its respective product page.

How CERAMIN is disposed of depends, among other things, on the quantity and local disposal options. Smaller quantities can be disposed of as household or construction waste in accordance with local regulations. For larger quantities, you should check whether it can be returned through appropriate recycling or take-back programs. After proper processing, CERAMIN can be reused as a material. If you need to dispose of larger quantities from a renovation or construction project, you should therefore find out in advance about the appropriate return options.

CERAMIN tiles are waterproof floor and wall coverings made from CERAMIN, a material that is free of PVC, plasticizers, and chlorine. They offer an alternative to traditional vinyl tiles and, depending on the product, are available in a variety of tile, stone, and design styles, as well as different sizes. Their specific suitability for floors, walls, and rooms depends on the product selected.

CERAMIN tiles are a PVC-free alternative to traditional vinyl tiles. They combine the look of tiles, stone, or other designs with a waterproof material that contains no PVC, plasticizers, or chlorine. Depending on the product, they are suitable for floors or walls and, especially in renovation projects, offer a low installation height and are easy to install.

Vinyl flooring is a type of flooring that is typically made from PVC. Depending on the product, it is available as click flooring, an adhesive variant, or in rolls. If you’re looking for modern designer flooring that’s free of PVC and plasticizers, CERAMIN is an alternative made from a different material. The material is waterproof and available for various flooring and wall applications.

Not quite. PVC stands for polyvinyl chloride and refers to a type of plastic. “Vinyl flooring” is the common term for a category of flooring that is typically made from PVC. If you’re looking for flooring without PVC, you should therefore check the actual material composition and not rely solely on terms like “vinyl” or “design flooring.”

The term “design flooring” does not specifically refer to a particular material, but rather generally describes flooring that mimics the appearance of wood, stone, or tile. Traditional vinyl flooring is also often referred to as design flooring. However, design flooring is not necessarily made of PVC. CERAMIN, for example, is a PVC-, plasticizer-, and chlorine-free material used for design flooring and wall coverings.

Potential drawbacks depend on the specific vinyl flooring. One factor that is often relevant is the material composition: Traditional vinyl floors are typically made of PVC and may contain plasticizers, depending on the product. There are also differences in construction, thickness, wear layer, installation system, water resistance, and room approval. CERAMIN is a PVC-, plasticizer-, and chlorine-free alternative.

Traditional vinyl flooring is usually made from PVC. Therefore, “PVC-free vinyl flooring” generally refers to a design flooring that offers similar applications but is made from a different material. CERAMIN is made from polypropylene and mineral fillers and is free of PVC, plasticizers, and chlorine.

The question is misleading because vinyl flooring is usually made from PVC. PVC refers to the plastic, while vinyl flooring refers to the flooring made from it. For a meaningful comparison, you should therefore consider the specific product construction, material composition, and technical properties. If you want to deliberately avoid PVC and plasticizers, CERAMIN is a possible alternative.

CERAMIN is CLASSEN’s PVC-free alternative to traditional vinyl flooring. The material contains no PVC, plasticizers, or chlorine; it is waterproof and available in a variety of wood, stone, and tile finishes. Depending on the product, CERAMIN can be installed using a click system or fully adhered, making it suitable for a variety of rooms and renovation projects.

Traditional vinyl flooring is typically made from PVC. With CERAMIN, CLASSEN has developed an alternative for anyone looking for the practical features of designer flooring while avoiding PVC, plasticizers, and chlorine. CERAMIN is made from polypropylene and mineral fillers, is waterproof, and is available in wood, stone, and tile finishes.
