Envique's 24-Hour Spill Protection Assurance

 

Dallas, TX – Oct 14 2015 – Quick-Step’s NEW Envique Collection is not only beautiful, but offers an amazing 24- hour Spill Protection assurance — virtually eliminating all of the real-life moisture concerns that in the past would have driven consumers away from laminate to LVF (luxury vinyl flooring). Recently launched nationwide, new Envique features proprietary technology that creates outstanding visuals and offers a very unique performance story! There is no other product like it on the market today.
 
Guards Against 99% Of Wet Mishaps
“Envique’s 24-Hour Spill Protection guards against roughly 99% of all wet mishaps that happen in a home — such as a spilled beverage, water sloshed out of a dog bowl, a leaky sippy cup, or an ice cube that has melted on the floor,” said Roger Farabee, senior vice president of marketing, Unilin NA/Mohawk Hard Surfaces. “Envique’s 24-hour spill warranty ensures that Envique’s HDF core will not be damaged when exposed to localized topical spills provided they are removed within 24 hours.”
 
“Envique’s amazing 24-Hour Spill Protection has eliminated virtually all of the real-life moisture concerns that in the past would have driven consumers away from laminate flooring to LVF,” added Farabee. “Envique guards against 99% of what a typical home floor is required to stand up against.”
 
“Only the rare home ‘flooding’ catastrophe would fall outside of Envique’s protection,” explained Farabee. “To be realistic, we all know that when any room is flooded, for example from a broken water pipe, even ‘waterproof’ flooring such as LVF usually gets ripped out and replaced, because flooding damages baseboards, subfloors, etc.”
 
“So, Envique’s unique 24-Hour Spill Protection offers the type of moisture protection that matters most — the 99% of wet mishaps that family life dishes out daily!”
 
Innovative Technology = Spill Protection
nvique combines two innovative Quick-Step technologies, HydroSeal and Uniclic, to offer this amazing 24-Hour Spill Protection assurance. The 24-hour spill warranty ensures that Envique’s HDF core will not be damaged when exposed to localized topical spills provided they are removed within 24 hours.
 
Quick-Step’s exclusive HydroSeal coating repels water on both the surface and the joint, preventing spills from seeping into the core. Patented Uniclic, the most widely-used glueless installation locking system in the world and one of the very best systems on the market, provides increased protection against water damage and warping. The combination of these two innovative technologies lets Quick-Step offer the amazing 24-Hour Spill Protection assurance. With Envique, homeowners have an extra level of assurance that their floors won’t experience the swelling, lifting, or gapping that happens to other laminate floors during the typical wet issues that happen every day in a busy household.
 
Can Compete With Any Hard Surface Category
“Envique is the perfect balance of beauty and performance,” said Farabee. “It looks phenomenal, performs extremely well, and sells at an attractive price point. The entire Envique collection is modern, stunning, and exceptional for the most discerning customer. The unique Envique 24-Hour Spill Protection assurance means that these stunning floors are also acceptable for use in bathrooms and kitchens, when proper installation and maintenance instructions are followed.”
 
“Envique can compete with any floor in the hard surface category, including LVF and WPC,” concludes Farabee.
 
Additional Envique Attributes
Envique is one of the most durable laminate floors on the market. These floors are made with cutting-edge technology for increased resistance to wear, burns, staining, fading, and damage from many common household items. Envique’s tough HDF core board and premium underlayments work in conjunction to resist impact from high heels, dropped objects, and impressions from heavy furniture. Envique designs feature an AC4 wear-layer rating* and are backed by a Limited Lifetime Residential Warranty as well as a 5-Year Limited Commercial Warranty. (*Summer Pine and Urban Concrete Oak planks’ deeply textured surfaces are not designed for the standard industry Taber test for wear and may test at an AC3 rating due to the surfaces’ texture. However, all Envique designs are made with high quality materials and are appropriate for heavy residential and light commercial applications.)

In addition, the top layer of each plank also features ScratchGuard Advanced Finish Protection helping the floor resist micro-scratches that can dull a floor’s surface over time. Envique also includes a special anti-static surface that repels dust and dirt, making these floors virtually maintenance-free. Envique is a great solution for the high traffic areas in a home.

All Envique high quality products are CARB compliant, FloorScore Certified, NALFA Certified, contribute to LEED points, and are an Environmentally Preferred Product (EPP) in most green rating systems. These floors can be re- used up to three times and do not require glue during installation, avoiding introduction of volatile organic compounds.
 
Each Envique plank is also made with GenuEdge Technology, allowing the surface design to “roll over” the edges of the plank for a truly authentic hardwood plank look.
