Durability and Resilience

Our floors are protected by a 20 mil wear layer with Ceramic Bead finish. This layer acts as a shield that maintains the looks of your floors over time. Under normal use, the wear layer will protect against stains, discoloration, and even scratches.

Fast and Easy Installation

With the patented 5G® locking system by Välinge, our floors can be installed up to 2 times faster (and much easier) than other floors. There’s also no need for any specialized tool whatsoever or complicated installation methods.

Realistic Looks and Feeling

With TexTRUE©, our “Embossed in Register” (EIR) technology, our planks are enhanced with a distinct and natural texture. This texture follows the wood grain of the High Definition film with precision to provide a high level of realism.

Waterproof means Beautiful

These floors are made entirely from polymer based materials, so they’re not affected by water or moisture. They won’t swell, peel or buckle, and unlike laminates, there’s no need for acclimation prior to installation, nor unsightly transition moldings between rooms.

Stronger Body, Thin Profile

With a 900 psi indentation resistance, our floors are stronger and denser than other waterproof floors. Unlike LVTs, our rigid core won’t telegraph sub-floor imperfections below, or grout lines when installing directly over tile.

Certified Safe and Non-Toxic

Our floors are manufactured in FloorScore® Certified factories. FloorScore® is the most strict, and the most recognized Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) standard for hard surface flooring. You can also rest assured that our floors are 100% Phthalates-free.

Solid, Quiet and Comfortable

Our waterproof floors are highly rated for sound insulation. Unlike laminates which sound hollow, our floors sound solid and feel sturdy. Additionally, they’re considerably more comfortable to walk-on than other types of hard-surface flooring.

Meant for Everywhere

These floors can be installed On, Above or Below Grade. You can install them anywhere, including “wet” rooms like the laundry room, the kitchen or even bathrooms. You can also use them in the basement and over radiant heated sub-floors.
