It is a brave statement to claim you have the BEST Laminate in the market but Traviata Floorings Tru-Wood range using the “AtroGuard” technology does this confidently. This claim is based on a number of pillars including water resistance, stability, durability, indoor air quality and authenticity.

Unlike regular laminate flooring, Tru-Wood with AtroGuard can be wet and steam mopped and can be installed with confidence in places like kitchens and bathrooms.  This is thanks to the 2 – pass power sealing process that protects all edges of the board and the extra tight click system that prevents moisture from infiltrating. Moisture and humidity problems are now a thing of the past and this is backed by a 72 hour Water Safe warranty from the manufacturer.

The key to Tru-Wood’s stability is the high density “Sure Core” base which offers 35% better dimensional stability than a standard laminate. In practice what this means is that Tru-Wood can be installed in areas of 400m² without the need for unsightly transition mouldings between rooms or in open spaces.

Tru-Wood is highly durable and offers outstanding performance thanks to its resistance to scratches, wear and stains.  Its AC 5 rated surface makes it suitable for use in any residential or commercial application – even high traffic hospitality or restaurant areas. Tru-Wood is the floor that has been engineered for active spaces.

The combination of design and structure in Tru-Wood ensures that your floor looks and feels totally authentic.  This is complimented by the large plank format and four sided bevel which accentuates each individual board.  Tru-Wood is a 100% natural wood fibre product that contains no PVC component and abides by the highest standards for indoor air quality being both CARB 2 compliant and Green Guard certified.

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.
