What makes Flexitexc unique?
The structure of your vinyl floor largely determines its durability and how well it will resist scuffs, scrapes and stains while retaining its original luster. Flexitec has a unique structural composition allowing you to select a floor type that will match your personal performance requirements. At its core, Flexitec vinyl has a highly resilient fiberglass base, double encapsulated by pvc layers. Thanks to this revolutionary construction, your floor has unmatched dimensional stability eliminating conventional problems of contraction, expansion, curling and cracking, resulting in easy installation and higher durability. The unique characteristics of pvc gives you higher underfoot comfort and unparalleled flexibility combined with excellent resistance to everyday wear and tear.
Comfort Foam: Comfort Foam is a luxurious cushioned vinyl backing supporting the vinyl structure and offering a base for indentation resistance. This backing reduces impact noise and sound transmission while guaranteeing unmatched underfoot comfort. The natural moisture-stop characteristics of pvc provide superior resistance to mold and mildew.
Fiberglass: The fiberglass layer combines strength with flexibility, ensuring an easy and trouble-free installation process. This inter-layer offers your floor a unique dimensional stability, which means that it will not contract, expand, crack or curl.
Foam Layer: On top of the fiberglass layer comes a cushioned vinyl foam layer, allowing additional indentation recovery thanks to its resilient nature.
Quick Clean Wearlayer: The wearlayer determines the actual wear performance of your floor. The higher the wearlayer the more durable your floor. The wearlayer will give your floor its protection and resistance against general wear, dents, cuts and scratches, while retaining its lasting finish. The unique Quick Clean benefit offers you extra durability and better definition of design and color, ensuring a long-lasting luster and beauty for your floor.
Super Guard: The Super Guard finish offers you even better protection. This advanced, urethane-layer resists scuffs, scrapes and stains and the accumulation of dirt and grime. This will allow your floor to retain its new look and ensure easy cleaning and maintenance.
