The latest technologies used in the flooring
Ceramin
The constant improvement of the flooring makes it an increasingly popular choice among customers. Not only is it becoming more aesthetically pleasing, but using it is also more comfortable. Which technologies are particularly noteworthy and how do they affect the daily use of the flooring in private spaces and in public buildings? Let us give you some hints!
Ceramin core board is a true revolution on the flooring market. It is free of PVC and all other harmful components. Its recyclability is also a very important advantage. It therefore perfectly meets the needs of the modern world and of consumers who do not want to contribute to the overproduction of waste. The use of Ceramin board is not only an ecological solution, but also a very practical choice. The flooring in the collections in which it has been used is distinguished by its exceptional durability. The planks gain an above-average abrasion class – AC6, which makes them the most durable the flooring on the market, perfectly suited to intensive use. They can therefore be a great alternative to ceramic tiles.
By choosing Ceramin, you also obtain UV–resistant flooring. Even prolonged exposure to the sun will not harm it. This is also waterproof flooring that will not be damaged by contact with standing water. What’s more, the planks are warm, easy to clean and allow you to create a healthy atmosphere in the interior – it is guaranteed by the Blue Angel certificate they have been awarded. These types of flooring will also provide you with noise reduction and will work reliably with underfloor heating.
V-groove is one of the most common choices among customers. It perfectly fulfils the visual and practical functions of a well-adopted floor. Thanks to this technology, the flooring does not form a uniform surface, but the effect of individual planks is achieved. This makes the floor look extremely stylish and perfectly imitate the laying of natural wood boards. The separation of planks may raise concerns due to insufficient edge protection. In order to achieve such visual effect, the edges are milled. However, thanks to impregnation with water-resistant varnish, you do not have to worry about moisture and dirt penetrating deep into the floor and between the planks.
An aspect that is constantly being refined by panel manufacturers is water resistance. Water-resistant flooring is indispensable in rooms such as bathrooms, kitchens and hallways, where the floor is exposed to prolonged contact with moisture and thus to swelling under its influence. However, in order to avoid unpleasant surprises, it is worth reaching for this technology also in other rooms in homes or in public buildings. This way, you will no longer have to worry about spilt water or damage to the floor due to wiping it with a wet mop.
Modern waterproof flooring, like Ceramin, can be in contact with standing water for up to 24 hours and not be damaged. The liquid will not penetrate deep into the flooring and damage the core board – instead, it will remain on the floor surface. In order to get rid of it, simply wipe it off. This means that a fitting failure in the kitchen, long, warm baths or wet shoes in the corridor will no longer threaten the condition of the floor.
There is a growing desire among DIY shop customers to carry out the renovation themselves. In order to make it possible, an easy, quick installation of the flooring that can be carried out without experience or specialised tools is essential. The Megaloc system meets these needs. During the development of this modern flooring, a click mechanism has been installed on the shorter edge of each plank, which allows the floor sections to be connected in a very simple way. For this, you do not need glue, which can lead to stains appearing on the floor, or a mallet, which can damage the flooring. The floor installed in this way is stable and can perfectly cope with all challenges of everyday use. All this reduces the installation time by up to half compared to traditional systems. If necessary, you can dismantle the floor just as quickly, avoiding tedious cleaning.
In many cases, the system is supplemented by additional moisture protection. The planks where Megaloc Aqua Protect has been used are distinguished by an innovative profile shape and a unique coating. This ensures that the joints are tightly protected against water penetration into the floor.
Although technical parameters are extremely important, for many customers the look of the flooring is equally significant. For this reason, modern technologies are also used to enhance the visual qualities of the flooring. The latest models fit in perfectly with current trends and allow the creation of fashionable interior designs. The refined structure of the individual planks, carefully selected shades and patterns make the floors look like wooden parquet or ceramic tiles, while retaining all the advantages of the flooring.
You can go for materials in various shades of brown, beige, grey or even white and black. All these colours are available in both matte and glossy finishes. Modern technologies also help to recreate the distinctive texture and warmth that is identified with wooden parquet flooring.
Choosing modern flooring is the best investment. With its help, you will be able to increase the functionality of the space and design the most fashionable interiors. However, the most important feature of modern flooring is its increased durability and adaptation to the needs of customers. Planks equipped with V–groove, Ceramin core board and intuitive Megaloc system make the floor stable, waterproof and keep its attractive appearance for a long time.
So, if you reach for state-of-the-art technologies, you will enjoy the effects of your renovation for longer. Thanks to this, the next replacement of the floor will take place only when you want to change the decor, and not because the flooring has worn our too quickly.
