NEW PRODUCT STEICOunderfl oor LVT: ECOLOGICAL UNDERLAY FOR VINYL AND DESIGN FLOORS

SOUND PROOF INSULATION MADE OUT OF NATURAL WOOD FIBRE

Modern LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tiles) and design fl oorings are characterised by solidity, easy installation and a wide range of designs. Products made out of recyclable raw materials fi nd high demand in fl ooring applications, and the new STEICOunderfl oor LVT follows the trend to more sustainability. The insulation boards are made from natural wood fi bre and are adaptable to fl oating installations of LVT and vinyl coverings of the MMFA sub group 2.

With an impact sound reduction of 19 dB, the boards provide an excellent acoustic insulation. The special underside surface compensates punctual unevenness. The high compressive strength (>600 kPa) ensures maximum security and protects the fl ooring. With a thickness of only 2.3mm, STEICOunderfl oor LVT is perfectly adapted to new build as well as renovations, where the new fl ooring can often only have a limited thickness.

The underlay is compatible with underfl oor heating systems. One pack contains 15 panels of STEICOunderfl oor LVT, which is enough to cover 7m2. Thanks to their 790 x 590 mm format, they are easy to handle and quick to install. They can easily be cut with a utility knife.

STEICOunderfl oor LVT is free from binding agents and contributes to a healthy living environment. STEICO woodfi bre insulation boards are ecological and natural products. The wood used in our products is certifi ed by the international organisations FSC and PEFC. It comes from responsible forestry to protect the forest ecosystem for future generations. We use fresh untreated wood from forest residues or by-products from the sawmill industry and transform it in high performance insulation.

1 cubic metre of wood binds up to 1t CO2. In the form of STEICO insulation materials, the CO2 remains removed from the atmosphere over the lifetime of the product. Wood fi bre insulation reduces the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. Wood fi bre insulation also provides security and protection, and it remains stable and durable.

BerryAlloc

A floor can make or break the look of your home. Selecting a floor depends on the area you’re working with: in rooms made to entertain, people tend to opt for an elegant floor that matches their personal style – timeless designs with a certified wow-effect. Smaller, more private spaces enable more daring, eye-catching designs for an outspoken look. In the BerryAlloc LVT range, there’s something for everyone when it comes to characteristics and colour ranges: herringbone, extra-large planks and tiles, beige and terracotta shades, and terrazzo patterns. As a result of the unexpected crisis in 2020, people tend to fall back on more sober trends with neutral colours – a typical phenomenon to want a feeling of safety and security. Concrete and cement remain popular colours when it comes to tiles, and the number one choice for planks will always remain oak.
