Water & Microscratch Protection
Life’s little mishaps are everyday occurrences and sometimes even become major disasters. It’s a good thing that EUROSTYLE Organic flooring is equipped with the O.R.C.A. Moisture Defense Technology.
Wood’s Self Sealing Property
- Wood expands when exposed to moisture and in doing so seals itself, preventing liquid penetration
- Boat builders take advantage of wood’s natural self sealing property
- Wine barrels are still sealed using this time tested method
24 h splash-water protection in accordance with NALFA (North American Laminate Floor Association) and additionally 100 h+ in accordance with KRONOSPAN company standard WN-101.
O.R.C.A. is Doubly Good
It unites the best qualities of biologically based floors and conventional waterproof floor coverings. In O.R.C.A., organic** materials are made resistant to liquids by means of a special technology.
O.R.C.A. is Built Better Because it is More Elaborately Manufactured
The wood fibers are mechanically processed multiple times in a special production process to obtain especially small fibers. Further on in the manufacturing process manufacturing process, a specially developed, organic-chemical binding agent surrounds even the finest fibers and isolates them from moisture.

EUROSTYLE Organic Sustainability
We Live From Wood.
We Also Live With Wood.
So it’s only natural that we handle our wood with care. Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword for us, but part of our corporate strategy. It would never cross our minds to use wood that didn’t come from sustainably managed forests.
Born of Regional Tradition
What all the types of wood we use have in common is that they come from our region. None of the timber we process has to be transported over long distances. Transporting wood across the globe by ship doesn’t make sense to us ecologically.
We Reap What We Sow
Since 2003, KRONOSPAN Lampertswalde has been making an active contribution to reforestation by planting trees. This gives us the chance to produce part of the wood that we process ourselves. We use resources very frugally. We also process wood from trees damaged by storms and crooked and gnarled trees that can’t be used to make furniture or parquet flooring.
CO2-Neutral
EUROSTYLE Organic Floor is CO2-neutral because manufacturing O.R.C.A. releases even less CO2 than was stored by the tree.
Our O.R.C.A. Board consists of components based solely on biological raw materials and organic chemical binding agents (synthetic resins) and thus is organic**.
Not One Bit is Lost
At KRONOSPAN, wood scraps left over from production are recycled in the production process or used for our own CO2-neutral energy production.
Softener-Free
EUROSTYLE Organic flooring contains no PVC and no softeners. It has been certified with the well-known “Blue Angel” ecolabel and recognized by the Cologne eco-INSTITUT. EUROSTYLE Organic also has the highest indoor air quality certification: A+*.
