Studio
Wide-plank floating floor with Välinge-patented
glueless, self-locking system
7-11⁄16" x 75" bamboo
flooring with 100% bamboo
fiber core (patents pending)
The wider, longer, square-edged planks of Studio install quickly and complement a variety of décor styles from traditional to contemporary. Studio features a Välinge-patented, glueless, self-locking system* that allows the floating floor to be installed on, above or below grade. New patents-pending construction uses a cross-ply bamboo core to ensure that the flooring remains flat and the locking system profile strong and stable. A hidden benefit: the recommended underlayment is also an acoustical sound barrier, making Studio ideal for high-rise condominiums or offices as well as residential installations. The 7-coat German finish includes a wear layer of abrasion-resistant aluminum oxide plus two scratch-resistant, polyurethane topcoats that protect the bamboo fiber's natural strength and beauty. Finish is water-based and solvent-free, and the manufacturing adhesives emit less formaldehyde than is present in ambient air.
