| Article | Quebec, Canada—Preverco has developed the PreLoc Series, a self-locking engineered hardwood flooring that allows for rapid installation with self-locking joint technology patented by Swedish partner Välinge Innovation. The PreLoc Series offers sturdy construction and is a responsible use of hardwood, helping to conserve natural resources, according to Jean-Sebastien Roy, marketing manager, adding that the line includes all the distinctive characteristics of Preverco’s Engenius Series of engineered hardwood. “Preverco’s PreLoc engineered flooring is ideal for installation on many surfaces such as concrete, concrete with radiant heating systems, OSB, plywood and a variety of acoustical membranes,” Roy said. “The flooring is floated, which makes it perfect for both home and condominium applications. With no nails, staples or glue required, the flooring can be easily taken apart and reinstalled if necessary.” The cost-effective installation qualities of the PreLoc Series are complimented by a finished product that has the look and appeal of traditional hardwood flooring. It has a distinctive anchoring system on all sides of the hardwood strips, Roy noted, and the self-locking ends use integrated plastic tabs for improved stability. “Value and appearance are further enhanced with precision cuts and random strip lengths, which prevent the creation of a pattern effect.” Using customized manufacturing equipment designed by Välinge, Preverco can modify the size of the locking strip to fit different widths ranging from the standard 3-inch to the wider 7-inch planks. Preverco’s PreLoc Series has a unique 1/8-inch sawn wearlayer with a 3/8-inch, 7-ply construction, which is ideal for various climates. “While many hardwoods tend to shrink or expand in ever-changing conditions,” Roy said, “Preverco’s PreLoc Series is built to withstand those temperature variations offering dimensional stability.” For more information, call Preverco at 866.890.9663. |
