Konecto from Metroflor Corp. represents the most revolutionary generation of high-quality, floating resilient plank and tile flooring. The first to introduce its patented grip-strip technology, Metroflor Konecto transformed the LVT industry. Requiring no added adhesives, Konecto remains a leader in fast and easy-to-install flooring over virtually any subfloor, with minimal disruption. Konecto was recently reinvented from the core up to deliver better performance than ever. Thicker and stronger, all collections now feature a 4.5 mm gauge. The adhesive grip-strip is 25% wider for increasing the seam strength. Moisture-resistant and extremely durable, all collections have a ceramic bead finish and are available in 4 Mil, 6 Mil, 12 Mil or 20 Mil wear layers, appropriate for residential as well as multi-family housing, office park, education, retail, healthcare, assisted living, hospitality and corporate environments. WIDE PORTFOLIO OF AUTHENTIC LOOKSThe warm, quiet qualities and authentic good looks in both Plank and Tile suit professionals and consumers alike who are seeking both style and durability. Konecto offers a multitude of plank and tile variations in a wide range of stunning designs: realistic, exotic African hardwoods and American classic planks; stone and ceramic tiles evoking earthy granite, polished Italian marble and Mediterranean slate. NEW FOR 2013LEGACY AND OASIS Now the Konecto realism bar has been raised to new heights with the addition of two new collections. Legacy and Oasis offer eighteen total 5 X 48 inch planks, featuring the new patent-pending Crescent Edge technology. This eased edge detail creates authenticity, depth, and the illusion of walking on a thick, solid wood floor, but with the no-hassle care and maintenance of LVT. The collections further raise the value quotient by offering high-end visuals matched with two different finishes across exotic wood species. Oasis delivers the appearance of exotic hardwood at a fraction of the cost, with a subtle wood-tick finish. Legacy features a Handscraped embossing that is simultaneously rustic, yet sophisticated. With a gauge of 4.5 mm and a 12 Mil wear layer with a ceramic bead finish, both collections are warranted for 25 years residentially and 10 years commercially.KONECTO ELEMENTSEntry-level Elements delivers unparalleled value without sacrificing product construction or performance integrity. It offers the same features that make Konecto the segment leader: a 4.5 mm thick vinyl core reinforced with fiberglass, and a ceramic bead overlay for enhanced scuff and abrasion resistance. Designs of the 8 planks measuring 6 X 36 inches are especially suited for apartments and multi-family housing environments. Warranty: 10 years residential. KONECTO PREMIUM TILE The Premium Tile Collection new 12 X 24 inch format available in 6 designs boasts a contemporary linear stone pattern. Micro-beveled edges accentuate each tile when installed in the recommended staggered, brick-like pattern. Robust Konecto Premium Tile carries Metroflor Corp.’s thickest, 20 Mil wear layer. Warranty: lifetime residential, 12 years commercial.KONECTO: EASY TO MAINTAINResistance to moisture and most household chemicals/stains, coupled with its tough wear layer, make Konecto ideal for residential high-traffic areas as well as all commercial environments.
