What Makes Luxury and Luxury Plus Vinyl Flooring Unique?
The structure of your vinyl floor largely determines its
durability and how well it will resist scuffs, scrapes and stains
while retaining its original luster. Our Luxury Vinyl has a unique
structural composition allowing you to select a floor type that
will match your personal performance requirements. At its core,
this unique product has a highly resilient fiberglass base, double
encapsulated by pvc layers. Thanks to this revolutionary
construction, your floor has unmatched dimensional stability
eliminating conventional problems of contraction, expansion,
curling and cracking, resulting in easy installation and higher
durability. The unique characteristics of pvc gives you higher
underfoot comfort and unparalleled flexibility combined with
excellent resistance to everyday wear and tear.
COMFORT FOAM:
Comfort Foam is a luxurious cushioned vinyl backing supporting the
vinyl structure and offering a base for indentation resistance.
This backing reduces impact noise and sound transmission while
guaranteeing unmatched underfoot comfort. The natural moisture-stop
characteristics of pvc provide superior resistance to mold and
mildew.
FIBERGLASS:
The fiberglass layer combines strength with flexibility, ensuring
an easy and trouble-free installation process. This inter-layer
offers your floor a unique dimensional stability, which means that
it will not contract, expand, crack or curl.
FOAM LAYER:
On top of the fiberglass layer comes a cushioned vinyl foam layer,
allowing additional indentation recovery thanks to its resilient
nature.
QUICK CLEAN WEARLAYER:
The wearlayer determines the actual wear performance of your
floor. The higher the wearlayer the more durable your floor.
The wearlayer will give your floor its protection and resistance
against general wear, dents, cuts and scratches, while retaining
its lasting finish. The unique Quick Clean Wearlayer benefit offers
you extra durability and better definition of design and color,
ensuring a long-lasting luster and beauty for your floor.
SUPER GUARD:
The Super Guard finish offers you even better protection. This
advanced, urethane-layer resists scuffs, scrapes and stains and the
accumulation of dirt and grime. This will allow your floor to
retain its new look and ensure easy cleaning and maintenance.
Luxury and Luxury Plus Vinyl Flooring Advantages
Construction: The Harding Collection has a core of
a highly resilient fiberglass base fully encapsulated on both sides
by PVC vinyl.
Flexibility: Harding Vinyl is far more flexible
than conventional sheet vinyl, making it easier to handle in the
warehouse and on the job site. It will not break or permanently
crease.
Dimensional Stability: Problems of contraction,
expansion, cracking and curling are eliminated. The Harding Vinyl
Collection lays flat and stays flat because of its unique
construction.
Ease of installation: Because Harding vinyl lays
flat and is so flexible, it is a joy to work with when compared to
conventional sheet vinyl. There are two installation methods.
• Loose lay DIY installation up to 25 square yards.
• Full spread professional installation with pressure sensitive
(releasable) adhesive.
Fewer Seams: The extra wide width (4 meters =
13'2") of Harding Vinyl results in fewer seams than conventional 12
foot wide vinyl.
Reduced installation time: Harding Vinyl takes much less time to
cut and install. It is easier to seam and more forgiving than
conventional vinyl. It is also easier to remove, repair or
patch.
Extremely moisture resistant: Unlike traditional
paperback vinyl, Harding Sheet Vinyl is extremely resistant to
moisture. It is the ideal solution in many areas where other
flooring types cannot be used.
What makes Harding Luxury and Luxury Plus vinyl Flooring so
appealing?
Forget everything you knew about old-fashioned sheet vinyl
flooring. The Harding Collection is today's vinyl flooring of
choice. It's soft and quiet underfoot, yet tough and long lasting.
It delivers amazing visuals, with realistic wood, stone and tile
decors that will make you think you're in another world.
How tough is it?
Very tough. The unique construction of Harding vinyl, with a layer
of fiberglass sandwiched between layers of PVC foam, gives the
vinyl complete dimensional stability. Although it is much thicker
than conventional vinyl because of the Comfort Foam backing, it
will not contract, expand, curl or crack. And the tough urethane
wear layer is stain-resistant and easy to clean, yet provides
continued resistance to wearing and scuffing to keep your floor
looking beautiful for years.
What about designs?
The Harding Collection is designed exclusively for ProSource and
features unique three dimensional embossed designs in woods (from
narrow to wide planks) tiles, and stones
Is it easy to install?
Harding vinyl is one of the easiest floor coverings to install. In
fact, installers love it because it is quicker than installing
carpet, laminate, hardwood, ceramic tile or conventional
paper-backed vinyl. Conventional vinyl requires a "hard set"
adhesive that must be scraped up when the vinyl is removed, and
makes it virtually impossible to repair or replace. Harding vinyl
uses a releasable adhesive that makes it easy to repair or replace
the vinyl - another big advantage! It is also possible to loose lay
Harding Vinyl in many installations that are 25 square yards or
less. Harding Vinyl is also easy to cut and seam, and does not
require messy two-part chemical bond seam sealers. Because of its
construction and flexibility, there is less damage before, during
and after installation. In addition, the extra width (13'2" wide
instead of 12 feet)) results in either no seams or fewer seams in
most installations.
Where can I use Harding Vinyl?
Everywhere! Its water resistance makes it ideal for kitchens,
laundry rooms, bathrooms and basements - anywhere moisture might be
a problem with other types of flooring. But its beauty and realism
makes it ideal for every room in the house. It's warm, visually
appealing, soft underfoot and reduces noise in every
environment.
Vinyl Flooring care and maintenance
Your premium cushioned vinyl flooring will provide years of
carefree use. You will find that it is not only beautiful, but
durable. It is also much easier to maintain than most other
flooring products, because of the tough protective finish and
moisture resistance. It only takes a few simple care and
maintenance steps to keep your floor looking new for years to
come.
To keep your floor clean:
Sweep the floor with a soft bristle broom to remove loose
dirt.
Wash the floor with non-abrasive floor cleaner.
For every day maintenance, a mop moistened with warm water will
suffice.
Make sure furniture legs have large surface, non-staining floor
protectors. Replace small, narrow metal or dome-shaped glides with
smooth, flat glides that are in flat contact with the floor.
Heavy furniture or appliances that are not moved often should be
equipped with flat, non-staining composition furniture casters or
cups of appropriate size.
Do not:
-Do not use soap based detergents.
-Do not use abrasive or mop and shine products.
-Do not wax the floor.
-Do not use ammonia or bleaches.
-Do not use a vacuum with rotating beater bar.
