  • Available Products

    AbrastopTM Foam HD

    The AbrastopTM Foam HD is a high performance floor covering made with thermoset foam and fiber reinforcement for a lightweight, durable finish. It offers the same benefits as the AbrastopTM floor covering but is an all-in-one system that includes a subfloor. Its high impact resistance makes it a first choice product for locomotives.

    AbrastopTM Foam Lite

    The AbrastopTM Foam Lite is similar to AbrastopTM Foam HD. It is also composed of a floor covering and a composite subfloor that provides structural support. However, AbrastopTM Foam Lite differs in that it is the lightest flooring system available in North America. The AbrastopTM Foam Lite is ideal for mass transit transportation.
