Low Flame Flooring

TransitFlor® pioneered the development of Low-Flame sheet rubber flooring for specialty situations such as rail and aircraft to ensure passenger safety. With a US Patent and decades of field testing, our 200 Series Low-Flame flooring is the ideal choice to meet flame spread, heat evolution, and flame smoke toxicity requirements. Available in sheet flooring, tile, and treads in a wide array or colors per the following test data:
