Unilin Rolls Out Locking System for Solid Wood

Bertrange, Luxembourg, Jan. 10, 2011--Flooring Industries, the intellectual property company of the Unilin Group, said it has developed a new locking mechanism for solid wooden floor panels.

Unilin said it introduced the glueless locking technology into the flooring industry in the mid ‘90’s.

Solid flooring panels are still mainly glued or nailed down because the traditional locking systems could not prevent creaking noises of most of the solid wood panels due to changes in temperature and humidity.

Unilin said it has solved this problem.

The profile has been designed so that it can be manufactured on basic double-end tenoner machines to avoid substantial investments for the solid wood manufacturers.

Flooring Industries will demonstrate the new profile at Domotex Hannover.
