Hello everyone,
we are currently looking for a suitable flooring and have come across almost everything available on the market.
Solid wood parquet and laminate were quickly ruled out for various reasons.
Right now, vinyl is very popular, but of course, there are concerns about harmful substances and the quality of the surface feel.
Recently, we were offered the Disano design flooring by Haro, which is said to have the positive qualities of vinyl flooring but without any harmful substances, and to have a very appealing tactile feel.
Is there anyone who has this flooring, knows about it, or has given it more detailed consideration and can perhaps make comparisons to other products?
Thanks everyone.
Best regards

It is just a marketing term... and if you search online, it is also just vinyl.

The mentioned floors are all PVC-free.

SabineSo, what is it then? Probably not linoleum. A polyurethane compound? That’s possible. Is it healthier? It’s not free of plasticizers either. Come on, don’t let anyone fool you. It’s always chemistry. Karsten
Instead of petroleum-based oil, rapeseed oil is used. Just google what PU is and how hazardous the precursors are. Only cured PU is actually harmless. Cured PVC is harmless as well. If they want to work completely without plasticizers, they probably add silicone. What I’m trying to say is, none of this is truly eco-friendly. It’s always heavy chemical industry, always Bayer or BASF. If you want natural materials, choose real wood, not engineered wood. Karsten

I’m not sure if your question was aiming at this, but a salesperson once told us that engineered flooring is better for children's rooms than vinyl flooring (due to chemicals; even if in small amounts, you would always wonder if the floor contributed in case of illness...).
However, it is not suitable for bathrooms, where standard vinyl is needed because of the moisture.
This was just a general statement – whether this also applies to Haro flooring in bathrooms, you would need to check.
