Synergy™ floating floor
Wide-plank, high-traffic, strand bamboo with Xcora™ technology and glueless, self-locking system
7-11⁄16" x 72" flooring for commercial and residential interiors with Välinge-patented, self-locking system* and patents-pending 100% bamboo fiber core
Synergy™ strand bamboo with Xcora™ technology is high-traffic flooring that is 154 percent harder than red oak and 126 percent harder than North American maple. And now it is available in a wide-plank floating floor option with the Välinge-patented, glueless, self-locking system that allows the flooring to be installed with underlayment on, above or below grade. The wider, longer, square-edged planks install quickly and complement a variety of décor styles from traditional to contemporary in settings from artists' lofts to large meeting rooms to three-bedroom ramblers. New patents-pending construction employs a cross-ply bamboo fiber core to ensure that the flooring remains flat and the locking system profile strong and stable. A hidden benefit: the recommended underlayment also creates an acoustic barrier, making Synergy™ floating floor ideal for offices or high-rise condominiums, as well as homes.
Synergy™ wide-plank floating floor with Xcora is manufactured with state-of-the-art hot press equipment, proprietary formulas, and our exclusive process. Bamboo fibers are fused with an environmentally safe adhesive under extreme pressure to form homogenous, high-density panels that are cut and milled into the wear layer. As a result, Synergy™ floating floor with Xcora offers hardness, durability and stability that are perfect for high-traffic areas in both residential and commercial settings.
Synergy™ floating floor is available in four distinctive strand blends— Wheat (natural), Chestnut (caramelized), Java (light and dark caramelized strands) and new Brindle, a beautiful blend of natural and caramelized strands.
The 7-coat German finish includes a wear layer of abrasion-resistant aluminum oxide, plus two scratch-resistant, polyurethane topcoats that protect the bamboo fiber's natural strength and beauty. Its finish is water-based and solvent-free, and its adhesives emit substantially less formaldehyde than is present in ambient air. Synergy is also FloorScore®-certified, one of the most rigorous air quality standards in the world. FloorScore® ensures the quality of indoor air for high performance schools and offices and meets stringent standards for 78 volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Now it ensures the same high quality of air for you.
