What professionals are saying about Elastilon®
Mario Allard, Director Product Management, Tarkett Canada says "With Elastilon, hardwood flooring can now be used in applications where previously it was not easily installed. We project rapid growth in demand for this product."
Chad Frenette, President, National Installations Ltd. recommends the flooring installation membrane, Elastilon, which allows installation of hardwood flooring directly onto concrete with ease."After some fairly intensive research and testing, we are now using this method of installation with great comfort. First, our research determined that this product has been used around the world for nearly 10 years in almost every conceivable application, from the cold and dry to the very warm and humid climates. I was also surprised to see that hundreds of thousands of square feet of hardwood flooring was being installed on this product with absolutely no floor failures."
"Our research also determined that installation with Elastilon is approximately 50 percent faster than traditional direct glue methods. It offers sound reduction, sealing of the boards to help prevent cupping, has no VOC'ss, and allows under-floor heating. We have tested the material in actual installations. After several successful installations, I can say that we are supporters of Elastilon. It is a great option for installing hardwoods over a concrete floor, with dozens of added benefits that are not possible with other install methods."
Josée Julien, Purchasing Director, Matério Construction Renovation Services relates, "After we were introduced to the Elastilon installation system and following careful deliberation and testing, we decided to use it in a condominium complex. We had our complex completed in record time, and it looked great!!"
"At the end of the winter, there was a major problem with low humidity levels in the apartments, and the flooring reacted to the extremely low moisture levels and began to fail. When the cause of the low moisture level was repaired and humidity was reintroduced into the units, the floor quickly and smoothly returned to its original tight gapless condition. If we had glued this floor in place as originally intended, it would have cracked and pulled itself apart.
