DalNaturel
Dalsouple has been a specialist manufacturer of rubber products since the 1940s. In these early days, all production used natural rubber.
In the 1960s Dalsouple gradually moved away from natural rubber to synthetic rubber alternatives. Virtually all the rubber flooring on the market today is made from synthetic SBR, sometimes known as industrial rubber, a petro-chemical by-product. Given the simple manufacturing processes of the time, SBR was cheaper, easier to process and offered more consistency and uniformity of colour.
Cost effectiveness and product quality are critical commercial ingredients, but in the new design environment they are not enough. Our priorities as consumers, specifiers and manufacturers are changing. Hence 'DalNaturel' the new generation rubber floorcoving from Dalsouple.
DalNaturel boasts over 90% natural ingredients, with all the rubber content being natural. Natural rubber is a wholly renewable raw material, and mature rubber trees are exceptionally efficient at carbon sequestration - the absorption of harmful CO2 from the atmosphere.
Rubber is also easy to recycle not just once, but several times, with many applications. It has inherently low toxicity, particularly when compared to a PVC based floorcovering. All these factors, combined with a long service life, contribute to an environmental life cycle performance that is worlds away from existing resilient floorcovering.
Since the move away from natural rubber flooring all those years ago, improvements in manufacture now ensure that a natural rubber floor can offer the same consistent quality and performance as its synthetic counterpart. Like all Dalsouple rubber, DalNaturel is suitable for a huge range of contract and residential installations. It is tough, anti-slip and burn resistant, but feels soft and warm under foot. It has excellent noise absorption properties, yet is dust free, hygienic and easy to maintain.
