Expanko Resilient Floors Introduces CorkCore|LVT™

 

March 14, 2016 - Expanko Resilient Flooring, a brand of The Stonhard Group, introduces CorkCore|LVT™, a unique combination of waterproof Luxury Vinyl Tile and 100% natural cork. CorkCore|LVT™ is a highly durable, quiet, easy-to-maintain flooring solution ideal for hospitality, healthcare, education, retail, corporate, restaurant and multifamily markets worldwide.

“We are excited to introduce CorkCore|LVT and expand our product offerings customized to meet the latest trends in high performance commercial flooring,” said Randy Gillespie, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Expanko. “Just like the name, 100% natural cork is at the core of this product. With features like exceptional sound absorption without underlayment, no vapor barrier or additional sealer and finishes required and waterproof boards, CorkCore|LVT is like no other in the market today.”

As the new standard in Luxury Vinyl Tile, CorkCore|LVT measures 48” long and 5.5” wide and is comprised of five superior layers totaling 6 mm thick, featuring a .55 mm wear layer for durability and a 3 mm cork core for sound reduction, warmth, comfort and water resistance. With 12 registered embossed wood visuals and a 12 plank pattern repeat, CorkCore|LVT will make a statement in any application.

With testing and certifications like Class 1 Fire Rating, 62 dB Acoustical Performance, GreenGuard Gold Certified for low chemical emissions and a 15 year commercial warranty and 25 year residential warranty, CorkCore|LVT creates a safe, sustainable solution for commercial or residential traffic.

CorkCore|LVT’s revolutionary compression system takes full advantage of all the amazing properties of cork -- flexibility, elasticity and compressibility, functioning like a cork stopper. Planks can be installed as a floating system or glued down over approved substrates without a vapor barrier. No additional sealers or finishes required for a simple installation. A mild detergent, vacuum cleaner or floor duster is all that is required for daily/weekly maintenance.
