Traviloc XL – RCB

For many years now Traviata Flooring’s “Traviloc” brand has been associated with the world’s leading interlocking LVT flooring technology.  The brand has become known in the commercial sector for its Ceramic Bead enhanced wear layer which protects against scuffs and abrasions as well as for the fact that it is totally waterproof. 

The latest offering from Traviloc is the all new “XL – RCB”.  The real progress here is in the RCB (Rigid Core Board). This new core board offers exceptional dimensional stability to the extent that it is now possible to install up to 900m2 of the flooring without the need for any unsightly expansion profiles. This combined with the extra long and wide plank format, high definition visuals and rich surface textures makes the XL- RCB ideal for the demands of high quality commercial spaces.

Superior stain, fade and wear resistance, the beauty of hardwood and the durability of an LVT means the latest version of Traviloc is ideally suited to all Hospitality, Corporate, Retail, Educational, Medical and Residential installations.

Also featuring a pre-attached premium quality sound mitigating underlay, the XL-RCB provides for a quiet in room environment.  For multi-level construction, typical of office or hotel accommodation, there is the added benefit of significant reduction in floor to floor noise transfer. 

From an installation perspective, XL-RCB can be fitted over almost any firm surface.  The rigid lightweight nature of the boards means no telegraphing of minor substrate imperfections. For refurbishment work, XL-RCB can also confidently be laid on top of existing tiles.  Speed of installation is greatly enhanced by the “drop lock” technology used on the short end joints – Income generating shops, offices or rooms can quite literally be upgraded and put back into service overnight.

Introducing our new “upgraded” ISOCORE Classic range.

We are extremely pleased to announce the arrival of our new “upgraded” ISOCORE Classic range.

ISOCORE patented technology has proved a huge success over the last 3 years and remains a truly unique “one of a kind” product in our market. ISOCORE Classic has been the product of choice not only for residential applications but for commercial use, in particular, several acclaimed hotel groups have specified and installed many thousands of m² of our great product.(E.G. Marriot/City Lodge)

We have increased the thickness of the underlay to 1.5mm providing a softer walk and improved sound reduction. Total thickness: 7mm – AT NO EXTRA COST.(Please note that for a period of time, you may receive the 6.5mm version depending on our stock position)

ISOCORE differs from other rigid core/SPC products in that it has a 1.5mm vinyl top layer for improved comfort and a luxurious feel. This also enables the manufacturer to offer truly realistic In Register Emboss surfaces(IRE). The IRE surface creates an effect that mimics the true natural beauty of real wood grains… A Unique feature in our industry.

Another outstanding feature of ISOCORE is its superior dimensional stability. No other click product in our market can offer 30m x 30m installation parameters without the need for additional expansion profiles.(8mm Perimeter expansion still necessary)

Please take note:

We have changed 4 x decors that were in the original range. See below for detail. Please be advised that all discontinued decors are still available on special order and we will keep a reasonable amount of “attic” stock for the next few months.

The “Elegant Line” is here !

Following the unprecedented success of its “Firm Fit” rigid core vinyl flooring range over the last 12 months, Traviata Flooring has now introduced the Firm Fit “Elegant Line” option.

This new range offers a series of “Elegant” Scandinavian Oak patterns.  These patterns are Elegant in that they offer a uniformity of tone and grain without any of the rustic knots and cathedrals usually thrown into the mix.  A micro bevelled edge rather than the “V” groove adds to the seamless look of the new floor.

Specifically targeted at the residential and light commercial markets, “Elegant Line” has the same surface characteristics as Firm Fit, uses an EVA foam backer for added warmth and sound quality and boasts a low gloss finish for that extra realism.

Using the same rigid core technology as Firm Fit the Elegant Line can be installed over an area of 400m2 without the use of any unsightly expansion strips.  This exceptional dimensional stability also makes Elegant Line sun friendly so that it can be used in any and all rooms in the house.

By cleverly altering the plank dimensions, Traviata has been able to maximise the yield from the décor paper and in so doing is able to offer an extremely cost effective option in interlocking vinyl flooring.

Tru-Wood XL – Engineered to Perfection

The new Tru-Wood Atroguard range of flooring from Traviata is engineered to perfection.  Key to its performance is the remarkable stability of the board.  This is achieved through the high density “Sure Core” core board.  The core utilises a higher percentage of long fibre softwood in its construction giving greatly enhanced resistance to both moisture and temperature.  The result is that Tru-Wood can be installed in areas four times larger than normal laminates without the need for expansion profiles.

The high density core combined with a two pass “Power Seal” coating and tight lock joint system also results in a highly water resistant floor.  Tru-Wood can be wet mopped and is suitable for use in wet areas such as bathrooms and kitchens.

Add to this the very scratch resistant, full commercial grade AC5 surface and you have a product that is suitable for use in all hotels, restaurants, shops, offices and public buildings.

The high number of visuals per décor and large plank format offers all the uniqueness and beauty of real wood with none of the disadvantages!!

Firm Fit – A Floor for when Life Happens

Finally it’s here – a floor for your home that’s fit for when life happens!  Imagine a floor that’s water proof, pet friendly, highly scratch resistant and can be used in any room in the house – even in direct sunlight.  It’s called Firm Fit from Traviata Flooring.

With Firm Fit the magic is in the make-up !  The limestone based core imparts features and benefits long sought after in LVT flooring.  The core is twice as stable as normal LVT and three times more rigid.  What this means is that it can be laid in areas of 400m2 without the need for expansion joints, can be laid in direct sunlight and will never peak or telegraph sub-floor imperfections.  The high density core also means that it has ten times the impact resistance of e.g. a WPC floor and can withstand three times the static load.  Added benefits include that the joint strength is greatly enhanced and sub-floor preparation is not as critical as with other LVT products.

Either side of the core are a quartz enhanced Urethane wear layer which is highly scratch and scuff resistant and a cork backer for added comfort and sound reduction.  Add to this a deep structured decorative layer and you have the look and feel of a premium hardwood floor that is “Fit for Life”.

Firm Fit contains no plasticisers, no Ortho Phthalates or other harmful substances, is 100% recyclable and conforms to all European standards for emissions and indoor air quality.

From Humble Beginnings.

Some 15 years ago Traviata Flooring came into being selling one range of laminate Flooring using hand written invoices.  Today they are one of SA’s leading importers of flooring products supplying world leading technology into a number of sectors.

Laminate flooring still makes up a good percentage of the business and is sourced from European manufacturers.  These range from entry level AC3 to satin and embossed AC4 flooring with either V groove or square edged planks.

The latest very exciting addition is the new “Tru-Wood” AC5 laminate.  Engineered to perfection, this large format plank is 12mm thick and is suitable for all commercial and residential applications.  The use of Atroguard technology means this floor is highly temperature and moisture resistant.  It can be wet mopped and used in wet areas such as Kitchens and bathrooms.

The biggest product revolution has however come in the form of vinyl flooring.  From early Grip Strip and Glued Down options through to the solid interlocking LVT’s, these products have enabled Traviata to capitalise on many commercial opportunities including hotels, offices, retail, hospitals, schools and upmarket residential.

Today the latest generation of “rigid core” interlocking vinyl flooring including Firm Fit and IsoCore offer advantages never before seen in LVT flooring. They are rigid, extremely stable, completely free of plasticisers, Phenyls, PBB’s, heavy metals and are more realistic than ever before.

Added advantages now come by way of sound reducing backers, anti-fungal / anti-bacterial treatments and advanced locking systems that allow greatly reduced installation times.

Traviata Flooring has become truly a global player in the local market and is spreading its reach further into Africa.

Over Tile Flooring

Installing new tenants or just upgrading, refurbishment work comes with a unique set of challenges.  These include not upsetting other tenants in the process and getting areas back into service as soon as possible.

A great number of existing buildings in the office, retail and hospitality sectors have existing tiled floors.  The prospect of changing these conjures up images of noise, dust, rubble removal and a great deal of inconvenience and time.

Traviata Flooring now offers a number of latest technology “Rigid Core” Luxury Vinyl and laminate flooring options which make upgrading of tiled floors quick and easy. Not only are these new floor boards incredibly stable but they are lighter and stiffer which allows then to be used over almost any firm surface, including tiles and raised and boarded floors.

The rigidity of boards such as in the IsoCore ranges means there is no need for chopping out of old tiles or screeding – they can simply be laid straight over the existing floor.  The process is extremely quick thanks to the latest top lock joint systems.  More importantly there is absolutely no mess, no noise, no glue smell and no disruption to any neighbouring tenants.  Spaces such as hotel rooms and retail stores can quite literally be upgraded and put back into service the next day.  This is particularly important in the hospitality sector.

The flip side of this is that these floors can be just as easily removed (and possibly re-used).  For office accommodation this means spaces can be returned to “white box” condition quickly and easily ready for the new tenant specifications.

Luxury vinyl and certain Laminates such as the Tru-Wood range are also either totally waterproof or highly water resistant.  This means they can also be used in kitchens, bathrooms and other wet areas which often form part of the rentable space.

Luxury Vinyl Flooring

Traviata is a leading importer of flooring products, supplying world-leading technology to a number of sectors in Africa.  Of specific relevance is the change which Luxury Vinyl products are bringing to the hospitality industry.  The newest ranges of “rigid core” LVT’s bring not only design flexibility but also a number of practical solutions and are gaining traction in the sector across Africa.

From beach hotels to bush lodges, mountain resorts to inner city high rises, the characteristics of LVT flooring are seeing it make great inroads against more traditional materials. 

 The City Lodge Group has been one of the more recent users of Luxury Vinyl flooring in their City Lodge and Town Lodge brands.  Traviata’s products have been used in the front and back of house areas as well as the bedrooms in hotels in Johannesburg and Durban and as far afield as Tanzania, with further hotels in the pipeline.  One of the most attractive characteristics of the IsoCore flooring used in some of the upgrades is the speed of installation.  Bedrooms (and other areas) can quite literally be upgraded and put back into operation the following day with no special floor preparation, noise, smells or other inconvenience to the guests.

The ease of cleaning and factory applied anti-microbial / anti-bacterial coatings have also ensured that Traviata’s LVT’s have been successful in common areas such as lounges and restaurants in the group.

 Another interesting feature of Traviata’s IsoCore LVT is its amazing sound characteristics. The Marriott Group in the US have approved IsoCore on the basis of its floor to floor sound transmission tests.  The sound mitigating properties of the 1,5mm IXPE backer mean that it actually gives a better result than carpeted floors.  In room drum noise is also significantly reduced.  Locally Traviata have supplied this flooring to Marriott’s new hotel in the yacht club precinct in Cape Town and are supplying the same flooring to their new hotel at Melrose Arch in Johannesburg.

The latest technology “Rigid Core” interlocking vinyl ranges contain no plasticisers at all.  This means that indoor air quality is of the highest standard as there are no phthalates, PBB’s, heavy metals or other contaminants which were associated with the very early vinyl flooring options.  This means that products like the IsoCore easily qualify for Floor Score ratings which certify them as suitable for use in all hotels, offices, classrooms and similarly sensitive living spaces.   

Finally and perhaps most importantly is the fact that the new breed of “rigid core” vinyl boards are incredibly stable.  This combined with them being lighter and stiffer allows for them to be used over almost any firm surface including raised and boarded floors.  It also means that they can more confidently used in areas receiving direct sunlight.

Workplace Design

Floors are probably the largest single surface in any work place and as such have a major influence on both the aesthetics and productivity of the space.

From a design perspective flooring can be used not only to achieve an overall look but can also be used to demarcate areas or to highlight activity zones.  Todays “Rigid Core” and Glued Down Luxury Vinyl flooring offers everything from natural timber look to stone and masonry tiles and even solid colours and abstracts.  You could for example have a professional looking office space with a lively red, yellow and blue pause area or canteen.

From a practical point of view floors can make a huge contribution to the health and productivity of staff.  The newest technologies used in interlocking LVT flooring have seen significant reduction in both sound transfer and airborne sound.  The Marriott Hotel group has for example done tests showing that the floor to floor sound transfer results for the IsoCore type of LVT are in fact better than carpet.  There is a move now towards measuring the Indoor Environmental Quality in work spaces.  Noise levels together with air quality and lighting levels have far reaching effects on the health and productivity of occupants and therefor on the bottom line.  As reported in a local Flooring journal, the Green Building Council is looking to recognise this and award Green Star points for compliant buildings.

The light weight and rigidity of the new Rigid Core LVT’s also offer a leap forward in terms of renovating spaces.  Existing tiled areas can e.g. be upgraded without the inconvenience and disruption of removing the existing surface.  You can go directly over the existing tiles and quite literally be back in business the following day. 

Any of the Traviata LVT options will give you great looks, a healthy environment and a floor which is simple and cost effective to maintain for years to come.
