Gerflor Taralay Initial Compact is a multi- layered vinyl floorcovering, with a compacted backing reinforced with a glass fibre and a printed design that is protected by a transparent wear layer (0.70 mm thick). It offers 6 dB sound insulation and an indentation resistance of 0.03 mm. It is treated with Protecsol®, a UV cured surface treatment, which facilitates ease of maintenance and eliminates permanently the need for acrylic emulsion (metallisation).
