Torlys Launches Floating Laminate With Multiple De
Mississauga, Ontario, July 16—Toryls is introducing the versatile new STEPS™ Elite laminate herringbone pattern that can be used to create floors with six different looks and complement a range of décor styles in any living space.
“With our new Elite herringbone pattern, homeowners who are design-conscious when it comes to flooring have a lot of flexibility, and that’s what makes this product so exciting,” said Tino Couto, Senior Product Manager, Toryls Inc. “This floor can be laid in a traditional herringbone pattern, in a parquet pattern, or it can be used to create mosaics. The planks are rectangular, but they can be clicked together in a variety of ways to create different L-shapes and patterns – we have created six different patterns with Elite.
"And because this floor features the Uniclic joint system, creating an interesting herringbone, parquet-look or mosaic floor is easy in any living space, from a basement family room, to a kitchen, to a living/dining area, to a bathroom.”
“With its oak textures, tones and floor-design versatility, our new Herringbone floor works well in Modern, Traditional and Casual rooms alike,” added John Kocemba, Vice-President of Marketing, TORLYS Inc.
“The Authentic textured surface and mid-tones of Natural Varnished Oak, for example, adds needed texture to the straight lines of modern rooms and furnishings, but those same textures and tones equally complement more traditional or casual settings. This floor is an ideal, elegant alternative to traditional hardwood-look floors.”
“This floor is particularly ideal for condominiums and apartments,” explained Couto. “Parquet wood floors have been a standard entry-level floor in condominiums and apartments for decades because they use less wood and are economical to produce. But over time, parquet floors tend to deteriorate in appearance more quickly and easily. And there’s a perception that parquet floors are generally low quality.”
“Many builders are now offering alternatives such as high-quality laminates,” he said. “For people who like the parquet look in their apartment or condominium, our new STEPS™ Elite herringbone pattern is an excellent choice for an upgraded, high-quality floor with high visual appeal that is very durable. Because they are laminate, they are easy to maintain with simple vacuuming or dust mopping, and these floors in 25 years will look as new as on the day they were installed.”
“And because this is a floating floor, there’s an added benefit for people living in smaller spaces such as condominiums and apartments,” added Tino Couto. “If they decide to move, they can literally take this floor with them, and reinstall it in their new living space.”
STEPS™ Laminate floors can be lifted and reinstalled multiple times under full warranty, and can be installed in basements as well as in rooms at and above grade level.
Featuring the patented Uniclic joint system, STEPS™ Laminate planks simply click together, and are held in place by constant pressure on the unique tongue-and-groove joint. Planks can be easily installed over existing floors and subfloors, in basements as well as in rooms that are at and above grade level.
Engineered with a décor layer on top of a High-Density Fibreboard (HDF) core and a melamine backing, STEPS™ Laminate floors are extremely durable. STEPS™ Elite Laminate 800 Series (8 mm) herringbone has a 25-year Wear, Fade and Stain Warranty and a Lifetime Structural Warranty.
