RECORE Light Floor

Lightweight and stabile floor for passenger safety and comfort

Made of

Recore Light Floor has phenolic glass fiber reinforced structure, the panels consist of number of layers of foamed fiber composites compressed during high temperature into a laminate with hard reinforced topcoat.

Basic properties

Extremely lightweight but very durable structure with increased mechanical properties, with good noise isolation and excellent vibration resistance, conduct a wi-fi and cellular signal. The Recore Light floor is a new generation composite floor, in thicknesses 15, 18 mm and can meet high value of Flexural modulus. Recore Industries AB has certifications and product tests: including Railway EN 45545-2: 2015, Marine MED-B, MED-D from Det Norske Veritas (DNV) and ISO 9001:2015.

Used as

Recore Light Floor is perfect suitable as a floor for railway, metro and tram cars, automotive solutions (busses, motorhomes, campers, electric vehicles) and for ships and vessels. Recore Light Floor is lightweight, excellent vibration resistance and can be a part of a floor heating system.
Consistency of fiber composite structure in Recore panels offers a possibility for making a different connection – joints. Reliable and simple connections between panels assure a long life without maintenance. Our solution offers customers many benefits such as excellent vibration absorption, increased passenger safety and comfort, and easy assembly procedure. Recore Light Floor can be covered with different types of materials: metal (aluminum), HPL, nylon flock, fiberglass, veneer etc. for achieving anti scratch resistance, for decorative and for other purposes.

Superior solution of floating floor concept is represented with Artboard Floor concept. The Artboard Light floor is a new generation composite floor, in thicknesses 15 mm and 18 mm, with special net of vertical reinforcment. The 3rd generation floor is carefully developed and can meet extremly high value of Flexural modulus.

BENEFITS:

  • simple design
  • without connecting parts between absorption layers
  • reduce errors during floor assembly procedure
  • reduce assembly time
  • ensure enough support surface for absorprion material
  • great tolerance on different sub frame design
  • achieve maximum vibration absorption
  • ensure 6 DOF floating behaviour
  • can improve absorption material property
  • safe during explotation
  • crash save (no additional elements to increase passenger safety)
  • during impact (crash) resolve acceleration vector on components
  • increase thermal insulation properties (thermal bridge)
