With no waxing and easy maintenance, the products are also slip and stain resistant and guaranteed not to chip or crack. NEW FOR 2013: INTACT LOOSE-LAY PLANK AND TILEThe Metroflor line has expanded its offering with the introduction of Intact Loose-Lay Plank and Tile. A floating LVT option, Intact requires no mechanical locking mechanism and is installed faster and at lower cost than virtually any other floating LVT. The ability to loose-lay without interconnecting the planks or tiles is facilitated by the patent-pending WaveTrac backing.The underside of each Intact plank and tile is embossed with WaveTrac -- a tire-tread-like pattern coupled with protruding dimples located within each wave-shaped channel. This uniquely patterned underside is then coated with the patent-pending anti-skid dry adhesive that helps hold the product in place without mechanical locking systems. These two advanced WaveTrac technologies provide the following benefits:* Lateral Moisture Dispersion: The wave design facilitates dispersion of any moisture under the floor, allowing it to migrate laterally and ultimately evaporate at the edges of the plank or tile and perimeter of the room.* Sound Characteristics: Air circulation between the subfloor and the bottom of the plank acts as an insulator against sound transmission and also reduces reflected sound created when walked upon.* Comfort Under Foot: Air pockets created by the recessed wave channels provide additional cushioning, making the floor more comfortable and reducing fatigue. * Subfloor Irregularities: The embossed wave pattern provides structural stability and accommodates subfloor irregularities.* Anti-Skid Traction: Similar to a tire-tread in its design and coated with an anti-skid dry glue, these properties allow the product to remain in place, or intact, when walked upon. * Friction-Wear Disbursement: When foot traffic comes in contact with a floor surface, wear or abrasion results over time. Resilient Intact deflects slightly when walked upon, thereby reducing those affects.* Product Stability: 100% virgin vinyl with fiberglass mesh reinforcement provides stability and flat, even installation, essentially eliminates dimensional movement, and reduces expansion or contraction.For more information or to find a dealer or distributor near you, visit www.aspireflooring.com
