CFL Enters Germany – DIBt Certified
The German Institute for Structural Engineering (Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik – DIBt) has granted CFL the use of its Ü mark of conformity for its laminate and luxury vinyl products. This confirms the products fulfill the strictest requirements within the German market, Germany being known to be one of the strictest countries in Europe regarding harmful substances used in building products.
What is the Ü mark of conformity?
The European Construction Products Regulation (CPR) describes the fundamental requirements on hygiene, health and environment protection.
In Germany, the approval principles for health-evaluation of construction products by the German Institute for Structural Engineering (DIBt) specify these, especially concerning emissions.
So in Germany, for reasons of health and environment, the Ü mark of conformity on the basis of a national technical approval (abZ) is required for all laminate or luxury vinyl floor coverings.

CFL Laminate floors are 100% anti-bacterial
At CFL we produce flooring that are made for living. CFL Quality Manager, Anthony Drevet, is proud to announce that all our laminate floors are 100% anti-bacterial. “Our floors comply with JIS 2801:2010 standards, which means bacteria and other microbes such as Escheria coli, have no place to grow on our floors, because of the high-resistant coating and closed edges. For the anti-microbial tests, we have worked together with SGS, the industry’s leading testing and certification facilities. “ says Anthony Drevet, “ Bacteria and other microbes can be carried onto the floors via shoes, spilled food and animals, but together with regular cleaning, our floors provides the comforting feeling of healthy surroundings. This anti-bacterial effect is lasting and will not fade over the years of using your floor.” We can conclude that CFL laminate flooring is not only highly resistant to wear and tear, but also 100% anti-bacterial.
