ALPINE Hybrid Flooring
Description

ALPINE Stone Composite, the latest innovation in flooring, provides exceptional durability and impact resistance.

Proven ALPINE Plus flooring provides the warmth of timber with the durability of stone. An innovative click-together system alongside the pre-applied acoustic layer, allows for quick and easy installation.

ALPINE Plus planks are made up of five distinct layers, each working in partnership to create a floor that will stand up to the tough demands of life. These layers are bonded together in a one-step heat fusion process, not glued, so they won’t delaminate.

Key Features
  • Free of VOCs (volatile organic compounds)
  • Water-resistant
  • Stain resistant
  • Easy to maintain and clean
  • Higher density, more rigid and more durable than laminate flooring means minor subfloor imperfections will not transmit through
  • Environmentally conscious primary material of 70% limestone resulting in extra rigidity.
  • Stone Composite is 4x more dimensionally stable than LVT and 10x more impact resistant than WPC
  • No acclimatisation needed, easy click installation
  • Large area installation without transitions
  • Lower sound transmission; backed with EVA
  • The I4F 'fold-down' locking system has a far superior locking strength
  • Made from all virgin material yet 100% recyclable
  • Orthophthalates-free, No DOP, No DINP
  • FloorScore accredited production
  • In the case of a flood, the floor can be unzipped, dried, and re-laid (unlike laminate, carpet or wooden flooring)

ALPINE Plus is suitable for kitchens under Tile Warehouses alternative solution regarding the E3/AS1 Building code. To contain any water overflows it is important to ensure water can be contained with:

  • a sink overflow sufficient to drain maximum tap outflows

Limitations on Use
  • Not suitable for wet floor areas; bathrooms, toilets, and laundries — here it is recommended to use porcelain tiles and waterproof membrane as an acceptable solution by Council.
