Fibrano® Top Layer (1 mm) – This hard-wearing layer is made from a revolutionary blend of recycled leather and natural binding materials. LICO’s proprietary Hotcoat® wear layer is a blend of acrylic, polyurethane, and aluminum oxide to allow for flexibility and movement, yet achieve an excellent AC 4 rated wear durability. Beautiful and authentic looking wood and stone designs created using high resolution, low repeat digital printing.
HydroWood® waterproof encapsulated wood fiber core (7 mm) – True Earth Floorworks’ exclusive waterproof wood fiber core is ultra-dense, resulting in exceptional dimensional stability. Even in direct sunlight, up to 6500 square feet can be installed without expansion joints.
