Recently launched to some 200 invited guests at Emperors Palace, the all new “IsoCore” range completes Traviata’s vinyl flooring offering. IsoCore is the jewel in the crown and represents the culmination of consultations with the global contract community – a distillation of what architects, designers, contractors and end users demand from flooring today. Combining the patented IsoCore technology with the tried and tested 0,55mm Ceramic Bead wear layer, larger format plank and integral sound reducing backer, this range brings a whole new dimension to commercial flooring. From a commercial perspective, the IsoCore range now compliments the well proven “Traviloc 220” interlocking luxury vinyl range. Re-branded “Traviloc 5.0”, this range has been updated with the introduction of four all new fashion colours while the most popular of the existing colours have been retained. The new Traviloc 5.0 range also now boasts the “Droplock 100” locking system and an ultra low gloss surface. Traviloc 5.0 retains the full commercial grade 0,55 CB wear layer and is suitable for all commercial, leisure and residential applications. Also new to the Traviata stable is the “Traviloc 4.0” range. This range is a 4,0mm thick interlocking LVT with a 0,3mm wear layer. Specifically aimed at the residential and “light” commercial sectors, Traviloc 4.0 offers the same characteristics as the 5.0 (including the new Droplock technology) but at a more economical price. Again there are four all new fashion colours combined with three of the most popular colours from the now defunct Traviloc Classic 190 range. Rounding out the Traviata vinyl offering is the Elemental “Glued Down” range. This 2,5mm product has a 0,55mm commercial grade wear layer and is suitable for all commercial and residential applications.
