Reflecting the growing stature of Quick- Step LIVYN as one of the best quality LVT products currently available, the rise is closely linked to the introduction of the brand’s Pulse collection, which has introduced new performance features to this competitive segment of the flooring market.
“Course take-up is a good indicator of trends within the industry and we’ve certainly seen a marked interest in the LIVYN Master Installer programme,” explains Lee Thompson, technical manager. “Installers have been attracted by LIVYN’s growing reputation as a high- performance floor that delivers some of the industry’s best scratch-resistance and world-class stability.
“Through the programme at the Academy, professionals can learn how best to exploit this stability through installation techniques that offer a fast way of working, while still delivering the results expected of any floor bearing the Quick-Step name.”
LIVYN Pulse is the most stable LVT floating floor available today, meaning it can be used in applications where it is commonplace to resort to stick-down products. Alongside, stands LIVYN’s impressive scratch and stain-resistance, again among the best-in-class.
The very low VOC content of Ultraplan Eco 3210 means that it is excellent for use on eco and sustainable projects, for the interior levelling of new or existing substrates. Part of Mapei’s Fast Track range, the compound can be trowel or pump applied, ready to receive floorcoverings after approximately 12 hours. Ultraplan Eco 3210 can be installed with underfloor heating and also where maximum resistance to loads and traffic are required.
