Metroflor Goes to Great Lengths With New Engage Inception 200XXL Large-Scale Planks

On the design front, Engage Inception 200XXL is perfect for open-concept floor plans and large rooms.

With the soaring popularity of SPC flooring, Metroflor has responded to the trend towards extra-long woodgrain plank looks with the exciting new Engage Inception 200XXL floors: three distinctive Oak designs measuring 9" × 72" with authentic In-Register Embossing (IRE) necessary for these outsized, bold and dramatic planks.

The planks have longer, continuous natural graining with fewer end joints for a cleaner, more modern look. And longer, rigid core planks mean fewer planks to install for a faster installation than traditionally sized planks.

Engage Inception 200XXL’s performance keeps pace with all the benefits of SPC. Stiffer, denser and heavier than WPC, Engage Inception 200XXL enables greater resistance to temperature changes and indentations. The premium attached HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) foam underlayment provides sound absorption, reduces transmitted sound and foot fatigue, and helps conceal minor subfloor imperfections. The DropLock 100™ locking system provides fast, easy, glueless drop-and-lock installation and a tight fit. The 100% waterproof floor is suitable for traditionally wet areas such as mudrooms, bathrooms, laundry rooms, kitchens and basements.

The collection also features Metroflor’s proprietary FX2 Surface Protectant:

● Superior stain repellency for easy-to-clean peace of mind

● Unmatched resistance to abrasions and micro-scratching to keep the floor looking new longer

● Tough enough protection for households with active families, small children and pets

Ranchero Cavendish

Beautiful designs are three more reasons to believe in Engage Inception 200XXL planks:

● Cooper Oak reflects today’s trend toward tonal variation in planks and the effects of white in the graining for a polished, refined look.

● Ranchero Another easy-to-live-with design, Ranchero is more subtle in toning but vivid in texture. The IRE embossing of this sawcut design creates not only a visual but a tactile quality of comfort: a sophisticated yet rustic and homey effect.

● Masthead A clean design with fewer knots, very subtle toning and softened contrast, Masthead features an elegant updated color range. The more sophisticated yet classic oak design captures the authenticity of easy, simplified living.

With a 5.2 mm gauge, 20 mil wear layer and AccentBevel Edge, Engage Inception 200XXL provides a Lifetime Residential and 15-year Commercial Warranty. With Engage Inception 200XXL, there’s no limit to the lengths Metroflor will go to provide homeowners and end-users with beautiful, innovative and high-performing SPC. ❚

Innovations in Metroflor's Metrostone Provide New Opportunities in Tile Stone, Tile & Plank Looks with Grout Effect™ Edge

Metroflor is taking SPC tile to the edge with a strategic new product innovation: Metrostone. A quality manmade natural, Metrostone replicates stone and porcelain tile in an SPC format with a simulated grouted edge instead of the painted beveled edges popular in SPC plank formats. Our proprietary Grout Effect™ edge treatment replicates the look of a traditional grout line without the staining, cracking and maintenance associated with traditional grout lines. This new technology has opened a new window of opportunity for Metroflor: More natural-looking, high-performing tile designs that can compete with ceramic and stone in visuals and color, yet at an affordable price point with easier installation without messy mortar and grout.

With a curated portfolio of designs — ranging from stone visuals and marble tiles, to woodgrain planks and even a textile-inspired linen look — Metrostone creates a strong, competitive entry into the tile space. The Grout Effect edge elevates Metrostone to a more realistic look that will strike a resounding chord with consumers. ❚
