Genva-Loc Acoustical Reduction Series
Impeccable Design and extraordinary performance converge to produce Genva-Loc Acoustical Reduction Series.
Created to quiet your world from the ground up, the Genva-Loc comes complete with a premium 2mm sound deadening foam rubber cushion pre-attached. The seemingly chaotic hollow sound of footsteps is reduced. The result is a quieter floor underfoot that transcends typical floating floors.
The tongue and groove design is glueless locking. Simply remove Genva-Loc from the carton and begin clicking the individual, cushion-attached planks together to rejuvenate or transform any room. No additional underlayments or adhesives needed. Simply roll out a plastic moisture barrier, such as Visqueen and Genva-Loc even installs directly over concrete floors both above and below grade.
The Green melamine infused core of the Genva-Loc collection stabilizes the plank and repels moisture. Quite possibly one of the largest color selections in a laminate flooring series, Genva-Loc is now available in a total of 29 realistic wood looking designs and tonals of impeccable taste.
Designed in California by FloorBoards (R).
