With the Creation 55 collection, formerly known as Gerflor Insight, the renowned manufacturer Gerflor offers a collection that boasts a wide range of decors, from classic to modern, and with both wood and stone looks. And thanks to increasing demands and ever progressing technological developments, these decors are hardly distinguishable from the natural materials they're inspired by. The wood decors also have an embossed surface, that creates feelable grooves that follow the natural grain of the wood. This makes for an extremely realistic experience. The same also applies to the mineral decors, where the embossing is used to accurately replicate the feeling of touching a real piece of stone. In addition to that, careful attention has been paid to the different colours present in the design. This makes that not only the patterns and surface structures of wood and stone have been accurately replicated, but the shades and tones as well. Therefore is the effect that these LVT floors have on the mood and atmosphere of your room virtually identical to that of an actual solid wood or stone floor.
In the Gerflor Creation 55 collection you'll find a wide range of different, attractive decors. For example, you will find bright lime wood in the "Arya", that will give your space an inviting and welcoming look. But there's a wealth of classic options, too. Like, for example, the "Classic Oak" or "Fudge" designs that you can find in this collection. In the stone segment of the Gerflor Creation 55 collection you will find finely detailed mineral decors in white, shades of grey, and anthracite. Decors such as, for example, the "Norvegians Slate" are not homogeneous of shade. Through the intricate play of different shades, the natural structure of stone is accurately reproduced, along with stone's unique play of light and shadow. Thanks to these and many more gorgeous decors, choosing just one is the most difficult part. Luckily, there's a simple solution for that. Thanks to the clever designs by Gerflor, all different decors can be freely combined to create an unique look and feel, opening up a wealth of different design possibilities.
Are refurbishing and renovating not exactly your favourite ways to spend time? Then be sure to have a good look at Gerflor's Creation 55 collection. Because this flooring collection is intended for gluing down, which means it stays in place for a long time, eliminating the need for renovating over and over. This permanent flooring solution has a very long service life for a single installation, among the longest in its class, all thanks to the glue-down method. This installation method, which is often said to best be carried out by a professional, can also be done by a careful and determined hobbyist. The steps are simple, and with enough attention to , detail almost anyone can achieve good results with this installation method. Below you will find the steps needed to install LVT glue down flooring. Keep in mind that this is a guide, and that the manufacturer's precise instructions must always be observed.
Some basic steps have to be taken to install the floor. First of all, the space to be renovated must be prepared by removing any old flooring that is still present. The resulting substrate should be even, permanently dry, and free of cracks and holes. Any cracks, holes, or unevennesses must be taken care of, by means of filling with a suitable compound. Unevennesses can negatively influence the final result, or even endanger the safety and structural integrity of the floor. Because of the time window in which the glue adheres optimally to the flooring panels, it's important to prepare the planks or tiles before the glue is applied to the substrate. Therefore the next step is to measure the room and cut the flooring panels to size. This, thanks to the low structural height of the board as well as their technical properties, can be done with a carpet knife or heavy-duty hobby knife. Not only the edges of the room should be considered, but also cut-outs for bay windows, heating pipes, and other fixed objects should be made. The next step is to apply the adhesive to the vinyl flooring. Carefully refer to the manufacturer's instructions, as too little adhesive may lead to the floor panels to come loose, while too much adhesive can cause ugly bubbles and deformations. The cut flooring panels must then be laid into the glue bed, seamlessly but without inner tension. Locally press the floor with a hand roller, and roll the entire floor with a heavy roller once the last panel has been put in place. Make sure that the adhesive has hardened completely before placing heavy objects on the floor.
The Gerflor Creation 55 collection is a true highlight, and not only in terms of its convincing, natural surface designs. The palette of highly desirable technical quality features that will convince across the board. One of the main advantages is the ease of maintenance, care and cleaning. Thanks to the PUR+ surface coating, the LVT planks are protected from scratches and abrasions, and the maintenance is easier. This is because dirt and grease are less prone to adhere to the surface, and are easier to clean off. Even with household agents, because these clean effectively without damaging the surface. In addition to that, there's a fire safety class of Bfl-s1, antistatic properties, and DS-slip resistance. Another no-to-overlook property is the suitability for use in combination with castor chairs (type W), which makes it particularly suitable for use in office spaces. This means castor chairs are less likely to inflict permanent damage to the floor. Discover these and many more inspiring features in the Gerflor Creation 55 collection, right here at BRICOFLOR!
