Flex Pro self-adhesive underlay makes it possible to achieve a floating installation for Moduleo® Pro dryback luxury vinyl floors. Cutting down on installation complexity, using Flex Pro is the faster and simpler way to a high quality luxury vinyl floor in commercial projects. With the ability to absorb minor imperfections, Flex Pro can also help to reduce time and money on preparation. Because there’s no permanent bond to the subfloor when it’s time to replace the floor, it is simply lifted and carried away without damage to the surface beneath, turning around refurbishments faster. There’s also no drying time, so floors can be walked on immediately after installation. Flex Pro is rolled out onto a correctly prepared subfloor and the self-adhesive is revealed by peeling back the protective layer. Then, Moduleo Pro Roots planks or tiles are simply pressed into place. Flex Pro is also ideal for the shapes and laying patterns of Moduleo Moods as it makes repositioning fuss free. The underlay delivers an installation suitable for commercial projects, accepting a rolling load of up to 250 kg. Paul Webb, national sales manager specification at Moduleo, says: “Commercial projects are run to tight timescales and so using Flex Pro is a sensible measure to minimise the time spent on installing luxury vinyl tiles.” Using Flex Pro also improves impact sound absorption by 10 dB when used with Moduleo Pro Roots 2.5 mm dryback luxury vinyl floors.
