Graboplast, a Hungarian flooring manufacturer has just this month launched a brand new product. By using the latest advances in nanotechnology they have developed a scratch and scuff resistant, hard wearing PVC flooring suitable for sports stadiums and other public spaces.

Having invested heavily in the new technology the company was eager to prove it’s worth. At a recent press conference they demonstrated how it withstood heavy traffic and cigarette butts without any apparent burn marks.

They are so confident in the new flooring that by 2012, they expect that this PVC flooring will account for 75% of its total output.

I expect we will hear a lot more about nanotechnology in the future for flooring and all types of home applications.
