    Why Flexible Flooring Is the Leading Option For Transportation Applications

When choosing flooring for transportation applications, you have the choice between traditional, rigid flooring and newer, flexible flooring options. You may be surprised to learn that flexible flooring offers superior durability and increased efficiency in terms of installation, something rigid flooring options simply can’t offer. When created from high-quality material that complies with industry regulations, flexible flooring allows for a much more long-lasting and anti-scuff surface.

Designed for both OEM and retrofit applications, flexible flooring can be used in interior airplane flooring as well as a wide range of ground and sea transportation interior applications including marine vessels, trucks, rail passenger cars, and even bus flooring.

Consider the following reasons to opt for pliable flooring for your transportation application over more traditional, rigid options on the market.

Transportation Flooring That’s Built To Last

Choosing flexible flooring doesn’t have to mean sacrificing durability. While carpet and other flooring materials may be prone to wear and tear, certain other flexible flooring is not. Duracote’s DURUG flexible high-performance flooring is specifically engineered with a tough, polymer top surface containing anti-fatigue properties. It’s also resistant to abrasion, chemicals, water, grease, mildew and even most oils. This is vital for passenger vehicles and vessels where safety and overall aesthetics are a top-priority. Making DURUG flooring a great choice for bus flooring and airplane flooring applications.

Endless Color Options

When it comes to picking out your flooring color, you have a lot of options with Duracote’s flexible flooring options. Choose from standard color options or use a color-match system. The DURUG line is available in single color, duotone or even tritone upon request. And our in-house labs can easily custom-match virtually any color; simply provide us with the Federal Standard Color 5-digit number, Duracote color number or color swatch.

Easy Transportation Flooring Installation

Flexible flooring offers amazing flexibility and ease when it comes to installation. When compared to rigid flooring, flexible flooring is simply easier and more efficient to install in tight spaces, even if it’s a retrofit job.

Engineered To Meet Rigorous Specifications

When working with mass transit or military applications, it’s extremely important to meet every specification in terms of safety. Flexible flooring can be manufactured to meet Lockheed, Boeing and various military specifications. The scuff and flame-resistant DURUG flooring was created to not only meet but exceed these industry standards.
