Rich Classic Flooring – The New Reality

Incredibly beautiful new decors and finishes recently introduced to the Tru-Wood range offer real rich flooring options for the discerning specifier and designer. The structure and design of the EIR (Embossed-in-Register) surface make it almost impossible to distinguish Tru-Wood from natural Oak. The aesthetic is further enhanced by the boards 12mm thickness, it’s four-sided bevel and large format which give Tru-Wood a true solid wood look and feel.

Ideal for high-traffic design

Extremely stable, highly water, stain and scratch-resistant, “Atroguard” technology creates a 100% natural wood fibreboard, which has been engineered for active spaces such as hotels, activity and lifestyle centres or simply for making a lasting impression when used in commercial and residential projects.

Core board for stability

The “Sure Core” core board is a genuine high-density spine for the product and in combination with its melamine impregnated top layer and balancing backer, offer a board that is:

  • 35% more stable than other laminates.
  • Resistant to all temperature and humidity changes.
  • Suitable for use with underfloor heating systems.
  • Can be laid in areas up to 400m2 without the need for unsightly expansion profiles.

Highly Water-Resistant

Using a two-pass “power seal” process and patented tight lock joint (having five times the contact area of normal systems) means no moisture can penetrate the board or joint, resulting in a floor solution ideally suited to wet areas such as kitchens and bathrooms. Tru-Wood can be wet or steam mopped and carries a 72-hour ponded water warranty.

Full commercial grade surface

Finally, the wear resistance of Tru-Wood is provided by its AC5 full commercial grade surface wear layer that provides exceptional scratch and stain resistance, is colourfast and together with the high-density core also provides superior protection against indentations from impact loads.

All the look and feel of natural timber with none of the disadvantages!

City Lodge – Courtyard Hotel Midrand Installation

City Lodge – Courtyard Hotel in Waterfall City is located in this fast-growing region of Midrand, midway between Johannesburg and Pretoria.

The hotel is situated within a business and leisure district, close to the iconic Mall of Africa and Waterfall Corner and their vast selection of retail, dining and entertainment offerings.

This modern and comfortable hotel has chosen to use Aspecta One “patterned” flooring in all the common areas. This hard-wearing Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) flooring was specified by Oniro Concepts and expertly installed by Combined Flooring in a herringbone pattern. The Swiss Oak Lucerne decor perfectly complements the terrazzo inlays and overall design and has been carried through the reception, lounge, dining and gym and lift lobby sections.

Continuing the same design concept, the Swiss Oak Lucerne pattern has been continued throughout all the bedroom areas in the hotel. Here though the Traviloc XL-RCB interlocking LVT board form has been used. This rigid core board has a pre-attached IXPE foam backer which offers excellent in room acoustics and controls floor to floor sound transfer.

Warm and comfortable to the touch, these modern LVT floors are spill and stain resistant and extremely easy to maintain. They also are 100% waterproof and provide a high level of slip resistance in wet and dry conditions.

Floor Score certified for indoor air quality, both Aspecta and Traviloc are manufactured by the HMTX group. HMTX has a proud sustainability leadership record and has recently been given the “Green Step” award as the number one Sustainable Flooring Company in the global market. Traviata Flooring is proud to be associated with HMTX in Africa.

Traviata Flooring creates the canvas for commercial spaces.

Floors are probably the largest single surface in any commercial environment and as such have a major influence on the aesthetics, comfort and productivity of the space.

 

From a design perspective one of the biggest international trends is to create “Resimercial” spaces. This involves taking the comforting and inviting elements of residential design and incorporating them into commercial spaces making clients, customers and staff feel more at ease.  One of the easiest ways to create a welcoming aesthetic is through the flooring chosen and increasingly this is being seen in hotels, medical facilities, retail stores, offices and schools.

Traviata Flooring currently markets a number of commercial grade flooring options that offer design flexibility, superior acoustic properties, ease of installation and maintenance and contribute to indoor air quality and hygiene.

At the forefront of this flooring revolution are the new series of “rigid core” interlocking LVT products including the Firm Fit, Traviloc XL – RCB and top of the range IsoCore brands.

The board construction in these products sees significant reduction in airborne noise and also critically in floor to floor sound transfer.  This has been a major contributing factor in the selection of the IsoCore range by major hotel groups such as Marriott, City Lodge and more recently Radison, Accor and Meridean.

IsoCore’s factory applied anti-microbial and anti-Bacterial coating along with its warmth, slip resistance and resistance to most spills and stains have also seen a large uptake in the medical field. It is for example used throughout the Netcare group for all their doctors’ rooms and has also found favour in many private clinics, hospitals and consulting rooms.

Available in a variety of natural timber looks, stone and masonry designs and even solid colours and abstracts, LVT flooring has been specified in the major banking and clothing groups as well as independents in South Africa.

There is now a move to measuring 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 consequently on the bottom line.  Traviata Flooring can help you achieve better results all round.

Best Laminate in the market

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.

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.

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)

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.
