Real ceramic, terrazzo and marble floor tiles undoubtedly look good and are very popular. But they have a downside. The problem is they require sub-floor preparation and take time to install; time that very often costs businesses money through temporary closure; retail environments being a classic example. COBA Flooring has a very smart solution.
COBA Flooring has introduced a smart collection of ‘new generation’ luxury vinyl tiles to our range. Patented Tough-Lock Naturals have the appearance of ceramic tiles, but feature all the benefits (and more) of traditional vinyl, starting with ease and speed of installation.
The vinyl tiles have a rather nifty interlocking system that is totally concealed once installed, thereby looking like any other ‘ceramic/terrazzo’ tile. This is made all the more authentic with the use of co-ordinating grouting. A finishing profile for neat edging is available for laid to surface installations. The tiles are simply loose laid to the floor and do not require any adhesive. Little or no sub-floor preparation is required and they can even be installed over existing floor coverings, as well as uneven or poor surfaces.
This makes Tough-Lock Naturals ideal for installations, such as supermarkets or other retail outlets, where ‘down time’ for floor refurbishment can involve temporary closure and in turn, loss of revenue.
Another benefit of Tough-Lock Naturals is, as the name suggests, their durability. These robust, dimensionally stable tiles with glass fibre reinforcement can withstand wheeled traffic up to 1,000kg making them suitable for heavy duty installations.
Away from the practicalities, Tough-Lock Naturals look great too and give a modern twist to all sorts of commercial environments. Choose from Terrazzo, Clay, Rustic, Granite, Sandstone, Marble Grey and Volcano.
Each tile measures 450mm x 450mm (including 2mm grout edging).
