LOW LIFECYCLE COSTWhen investing in new fl ooring, it is
important to consider the total lifecycle cost
– as the cost to maintain a fl oor over its life
span can exceed the purchase price many
times. Life cycle costs include initial cost,
installation cost, operation and maintenance
cost as well as replacement cost.
Thanks to its resistance to both scratching
and dirt, Upofloor Zero has a low life cycle
cost and is perfect for public spaces
exposed to high traffic and other
challenging conditions. Upofloor Zero is
estimated to be <20% maintenance vs
resilient that is up to 80%.*Including initial and work costs

Since the start in the 1950’s, Upofloor has revolutionized our view of traditional public space flooring – focusing on creating smart flooring materials that are environmentally
sound, strong and easy to maintain.
Upofloor was founded in the small town of Nokia in western
Finland, one of the most entrepreneurial and innovative
centers of Europe. It was here that the Nokia Group started its
operations in the 19th century as a small paper mill, taking its
name from the city. The innovative spirit that took the Nokia
telecom brand to worldwide success has made a strong mark
on the city, and has attracted a number of innovative companies
over the decades. One of these is Upofloor, which was founded
in Nokia’s old paper mill and which was also owned for a
period by the Nokia Group.
Upofloor’s founding vision was to offer the Finnish market an
innovative product that was catching on around the world,
i.e. resilient vinyl flooring. Production expanded in 1960’s to
include public space´s resilient sheet floorings and flexible
vinyl floorings for domestic use. Meanwhile, a growing demand
from other countries resulted in continuously expanding
exports.
Today, Upofloor has successfully produced, marketed and
installed millions of square feet of floorings all around the
world.
Focus on environmentally sound floorings
Still, Upofloor’s product development activities are based in
the pioneering town of Nokia. Focus is on designing innovative
PVC-free, environmentally sound floorings that are durable and
easy to maintain.
The first PVC-free flooring was launched already in 2004. Since
then, Upofloor has become a pioneer in PVC-free floorings,
aiming to continuously expand its offerings in design-driven,
technologically advanced and sustainable floorings. Upofloor
has also been a leading quartz tile manufacturer for over 60
years, providing uniquely designed flooring to many types of
commercial installations.
Part of Kährs Group
Today, Upofloor has two production facilities in Finland. The
company is part of Kährs Group. Established in 1857, Kährs is
the world’s oldest and leading wood floor manufacturer with
worldwide brand recognition
