| Kradal Flooring |
Impact Absorbent Flooring for the Safety of Elderly PeopleKradal flooring is unique because it has a combination of intuitively contradictory features: thin tile (12mm – approximately ½ inch) which is highly impact absorbing yet firm enough for an elderly person to stand and walk on without increasing the risk of a fall. Kradal flooring is 100% recyclable, a good thermal and acoustic insulator, and manufactured with 10% renewable raw materials. "Falls are a leading cause of accidental death and injury in persons aged 65 and over." Without preventative interventions, healthcare costs (and number of hospital beds required) for falls injuries will escalate due to the rapid aging of the population. KRADAL flooring is a solution which will have immediate impact upon quality of life. KRADAL flooring is a technology that can be readily implemented NOW.  |
