ABRASTOP™ FOAM FLOORING SYSTEM

The Abrastop™ Foam Lite, Abrastop™ Foam Lite Heated, and Abrastop™ Foam HD flooring systems consist of a highly resistant floor covering with a lightweight or a heavy-duty subfloor. These systems can be easily installed in five simple steps.

  • Benefits

    Safe

    • Maintains grip, even when wet.

    • Meets fire, smoke, and toxicity standards.

    • It is possible to add guidance and evacuation elements.

     

    		  

    Environmentally Responsible

    • Reduces energy costs thanks to its light weight.

    • Generally does not require repairs, but, if necessary, a special kit for repairs is offered.

    • Its lifetime is estimated to be 40 years.

    • No mid-life disposal necessary, since no replacement is required before the end of its 40 years of service.

    • The factory where it is made is certified ISO 14001.

    Economical

    • Short installation time, since the floor covering and the subfloor are laid in a single step.

    • Low cost when the price is calculated over its life cycle.

    • Protects the vehicle from degradation by eliminating decay and corrosion.

    • Reduces maintenance costs.

    • Eliminates costs due to repair/replacement of the floor before the end of its lifetime.

    		  

    Innovative

    • Floor covering and subfloor are integrated into a single system.

    • Easy and quick installation.

    • Structural capacity, is installed directly on the sleepers of the vehicle.

    • Rot-proof.

    • Resistant to abrasion for good durability. 

    • Its impermeability protects the subfloor and the body of the vehicle from decomposition.

    • Easy to clean, even though it offers a non-slip surface. 

    • Its options are integrated homogeneously (logos, photoluminescent marking, etc.).

    Adaptable

    • The panels are cut to fit each cabin. 

    • The floor covering is available in a wide range of shades for a perfect harmony with the other components of the vehicle. 

    • Many options are available according to needs. 

    • R&D is a strength of Baultar, so we would be pleased to adapt our products to meet your special needs. 

      
  • Available Products

    Abrastop™ Foam Lite

    Abrastop™ Foam Lite is composed of a floor covering and a composite subfloor that provides structural support. The Abrastop™ Foam Lite is the lightest flooring system available in North America. The Abrastop™ Foam Lite is ideal for mass transit transportation. 

    Abrastop™ Foam Lite Heated

    Abrastop™ Foam Lite Heated is also composed of a floor covering and a composite subfloor that provides structural support. However, Abrastop™ Foam Lite Heated differs in that it integrates a high performance heating layer. The Abrastop™ Foam Lite Heated was conceived for mass transit transportation. 

    Abrastop™ Foam HD

    The Abrastop™ Foam HD is similar to Abrastop™ Foam Lite. However, the Abrastop™ Foam HD is a high performance floor covering made with thermoset foam and fiber reinforcement for a durable finish. It offers the same benefits as the Abrastop™ 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.
