AN EASY TO INSTALL
ALTERNATIVE LION Floor is the high-grade engineered and sustainable alternative to BS 8203 compliant plywood that’s just as easy to install.
Made in Finland by Finnish Fibreboard using locally sourced and highly sustainable wood by-products and with a construction that eliminates the core gaps and overlaps of plywood, there’s no doubting that LION Floor is a high-quality and reliable alternative to BS 8203 plywood, but it is also cost- effective and just as easy to install.
Because LION Floor is pre-conditioned and doesn’t need wetting before installation, it’s just as easy to install as plywood. In fact, as it can be cut cleanly and quickly with a knife or saw, it’s arguably even easier to achieve a high-quality flooring installation with LION Floor at your side. Fixed with screws or ring shank nails and suitable for screeds and feather compounds, there’s no longer a reason to choose BS 8203 compliant plywood.
Peter Jones, Finnish Fibreboard said: “We’ve made LION Floor as the ultimate
THE SAFER WAY
TO SPRAY Breathe easier with new floorwise F597 Heavy Duty Spray Adhesive.
floorwise has announced the launch of its new F597 Heavy Duty Spray Adhesive. This new product eliminates dichloromethane from its formulation making it both safer to use and kinder to the environment. This means that floorwise F597 requires just one warning symbol on the can for flammability.
Andrew Gill, group product manager, floorwise, said: “Some years ago, we launched our F599 spray adhesive which has become a gold standard for the industry. Our objectives for developing F597 were to remove the health risk from dichloromethane and make it kinder to the environment without losing the fabled performance of F599. We’re really excited with the launch of F597 as it achieves all these objectives.”
F597 removes the hazards associated with many spray adhesives of being potentially carcinogenic and harmful

alternative to quality plywood and it really does deliver for installers looking to provide high-quality, uncompromised and low risk flooring installations. More cost-effective and sustainable than BS compliant plywood and more reliable and sustainable than cheaper plywood that might not meet BS 8203 requirements, LION Floor is just as easy to install, so there are very few reasons not to choose it. We’d invite any installer to give it a try and you won’t be disappointed.”
LION Floor is the first hardboard panel
to the environment. The other significant benefit of F597 is that, unlike dichloromethane, the solvent used is lighter than air and so will disperse faster into the atmosphere, rather than remaining trapped at ground level. The layer of invisible, odourless gas left at ground level by dichloromethane has been proven to create a significant risk of asphyxiation for installers working on their knees in poorly ventilated spaces.
Better still, these gains have not come at the expense of product performance as floorwise F597 still has the same high adhesive solids content of F599. The result is a spray adhesive with excellent bond strength and unrivalled coverage in every can delivering a strong, fast hold across a wide range of floorcoverings and accessories.
“We say that ‘Fantastic floors start with floorwise’. As such, we’re always looking for ways to improve on our existing products and the introduction of F597 with its dichloromethane-
to be designed and manufactured specifically for the flooring industry.
It is also one of a very small number of fabricated underlays which can be used for LVT and other resilient floorcoverings that meets British Standards and CFA guidance.

free formulation that poses no risks to health or the environment clearly demonstrates this commitment,” continues Andrew. “In our pre-launch trials, we received great feedback on initial grab with installers noting excellent stringing, as well as a high longer-term bond strength as users have come to expect with F599.
