News Adore® Launches Regent™: Solid Rigid Core “Waterproof, Lifeproof, Foolproof” Resilient Flooring 12/9/2016 Adore® launches Regent™ Solid Rigid Core, a new category that elevates today’s standard in high performance resilient flooring. Constructed on a single, homogenous layer, Regent’s ™ Solid Rigid Core unites unprecedented strength, dimensional stability and damage resistance to create an outstanding solution for commercial and residential space. Regent’s ™ Solid Rigid Core combines the highest virgin polymer content with beautiful visuals, under heat and pressure, to form solid planks. This adhesive-free manufacturing method results in product density that is over 50% greater than traditional composites, peel and delamination resistance, waterproofing and rigidity. “The greater density of Regent ™ Solid Rigid Core equates to better dimensional stability, impact resistance, indentation resistance and resistance to damage. With little expansion and shrinkage, Regent ™ Solid Rigid Core offers foolproof installation. The product can be installed over existing floors and also in rooms with direct sunlight,” states Kelly Mortensen, ASTM Board Member and Technical Director for Adore Floors. “Regent’s™ rigidity lends well to the process of installation with a much stronger and secure locking system. It installs much faster than other comparable products and with smoother and flatter results that do not telegraph minor sub-floor imperfections,” continued Mr. Mortensen. Regent ™ Solid Rigid Core is lifeproof, designed to resist the indentations caused by drops and static loads; waterproof, for life’s natural and man-made mishaps and enhanced with Duramond™ surface hardening technology, to protect against everyday scratches and scuffs caused by everything from pets to high heels. Regent ™ Solid Rigid Core is currently offered to distributors in ten contemporary plank visuals and in two product builds: Monarch™ 12 mil, for the home and light commercialuse and Sovereign™ 22 mil for commercial applications. Both come with coordinating trim and molding, are 100% recyclable and 100% orthophthalate free. Regent Monarch™ 3.4 mm gauge, 6” x 48” floating planks have a superior 2G angle/angle locking system. The durable 0.3 mm/12 mil wear layer is enhanced with Duramond™ surface hardening technology for stronger scratch and scuff resistance, and an IXPE pad option is available through special order. Regent Monarch™ carries a 10 year light commercial warranty, lifetime residential and lifetime waterproof warranty. Regent Sovereign™ 6mm gauge, 7” x 48” planks have a 4 mm core with a commercial suitable 0.55 mm/22 mil wear layer and attached 1.5 mm IXPE pad for greater comfort underfoot and added sound absorption. Sovereign™ is enhanced with four-sided micro-bevelling for visual enhancement through light refraction and it is engineered with a state-of-the-art angle/drop locking system for fool proof and faster installation. Engineered with Duramond™, Sovereign™ carries a 15 year commercial warranty, lifetime residential and lifetime waterproof warranty. Regent ™ Solid Rigid Core is currently available to distributors globally with coordinating displays and marketing tools available to coincide with product launch.
