Ceramic Tile Segment to Earn Largest Shares with Growing Consumer Inclination towards Aesthetic Beauty of Infrastructures

With respect to categorization by material, the global market was earlier dominated by the luxury vinyl tile segment in the past. Factors supporting the growth of this segment include the rising demand for hardwood and engineered wood that was appealing in the past. With changing lifestyle and rising inclination towards aesthetically appealing and eco-friendly approach, the demand for ceramic tiles increased. Ceramic tiles also have a higher stain and water resistance in comparison to other materials, and thus, this segment will continue to dominate the market in the forecast period as well.

Taking note of other materials used in flooring, wood flooring falls under the expensive category and therefore has limitations in some parts of the world. Wooden flooring provides advantages such as wide esthetic appeal, better durability, and environmental sustainability, as wood is a natural product and does not require separate manufacturing. Carpets & rugs are commonly used as flooring in most parts of Europe and North America as they are more cost-efficient in comparison to the other flooring materials. They also offer easy installation and maintenance services and their availability in various patterns and designs will further help the market witness notable revenues.

Asia Pacific earned Lions Share holding Major Scope of Infrastructural Development

Demographically, Asia Pacific emerged as the largest revenue generator in the flooring market with an estimated 45% in terms of volume. Factors supporting the growth of this region include the rising support from government in terms of infrastructural development and rising number of renovation activities especially post the COVID19 era. The rise in population and the need for shelter is also augmenting the need for construction activity, ultimately adding boost to the overall growth of this regional market.

This review is based on the findings of a TMR report titled Flooring Market (Product Resilient, Non-resilient, Soft Cover; Material Carpets and Rugs, Wood (Soft Wood and Engineered Wood), Laminate, Vinyl Sheet and Tile (Homogeneous, Heterogeneous, Luxury Vinyl Tile), Ceramic Tile, Stone; Application Residential, Non-residential) Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast, 2019 2027

Flooring Market Size to Hit USD 473 Billion by 2031 | Manufacturers in Globe and Comprehensive Growth In Industry - Digital Journal

Its no secret that exhibiting at Art Basel is expensive, but for the galleries presenting at Art Basel Unlimited, where larger pieces are shown, the costs are truly astronomical.

The fee to exhibit at Unlimited lies somewhere between $18,000 and $20,000, according to Mary Sabbatino of Galerie Lelong & Co., which presented Leonardo Drews Number 341(2022) along with Goodman Gallery and Anthony Meier Fine Arts.

The actual rental for Art Unlimited is not that muchthey make it kind of low, Sabbatino told ARTnews.

But that fee doesnt account for the cost of bringing the work to Basel and installing it.

Sabbatino added, I was speaking with someone about the costs the other day, and I said, I think it cost about $100,000. Our director looked at me and said, No, I think its more.'

Additionally, the fee for Unlimited is on top of the normal booth fee that galleries pay, which reportedly ranges from $12,000 for a small space for young galleries to as much as $100,000 for a mega-sized space for a blue-chip with choice of location. Galleries can spend as much as $400,000 exhibiting at the fair, once you factor in lodging, dinners, parties, and promotion.

Courtesy Art Basel

For Galerie Lelong & Co., shipping costs alone totaled tens of thousands of dollars, and that was after Drew managed to cut down the amount of shipping containers from four to two. Seven people alone had to be flown into Basel to put together the installation, which looks like a massive explosion of charred wood that was detonated in the middle of the exhibition floor. (This particular installation of Number 341 included pieces that were with the gallery, pieces that had been used in a recent exhibition, pieces that Drew had in his studio, and additional material that Drew made especially for Unlimited.)

These labor costs are quite high. Then there are the construction costs of building walls and reinforcing existing structures. On top of it all, two security guards had to be hired as well. Still, Sabbatino seemed optimistic about the effort expended to bring the work to Art Basel, describing the placement in Unlimited as a success.

Some have found clever ways to avoid these financial hurdles. Dealer Susan Vielmetter, of the L.A.-based gallery Vielmetter, presented Kennedy Yankos sculpture By means other than the known senses (2022). To bring down costs, she had Yanko craft the work not in Brooklyn, where she is based, but in Europe.

We gave her the measurements of the largest possible trucking container, and she was able to make it a sculpture within an inch of that size, said Vielmetter. It was an amazing accomplishment.

Shipping the works from Amsterdam cost about $30,000$40,000. That ended up being one of the smallest costs associated with the project, considering the labor costs and everything else that went into making the work.

All of which begs the question: is presenting these massive works really worth it? Despite peoples assumption that most works at Basel are pre-sold, neither Sabbatino nor Vielmetter said they had found buyers for these works yet, though the latter dealer reported that several institutions had taken an interest in Yankos sculpture. (Lelong also has a booth of smaller works in the main section, and Sabbatino said works there were selling well.) And of course, its still early in the fairs run.

Part of why some galleries bring works to Unlimited may have less to do with sales and more to do with the clout associated with the section. Giovanni Carmine, who curated Unlimited this year, described a rigorous selection process for the works he ended up including.

We start meeting with artists and gallerists basically the day after Unlimited closes, thinking about what works would do well in the space, said Carmine. Its a very intense time for these relationships. Then we receive applications and we narrow down to the most interesting proposals, whether its because the works are rare or unique, or fit the time.

Considering that the Unlimited space was designed for large scale works, it follows that the gallerists make the cut are those that can offer ambitious works and can afford to display them. Its no surprise, for example, that David Zwirner is presenting not one but several works at Unlimited, at times with other galleries, by Stan Douglas, Juan Muoz, Jordan Wolfson, and Andra Ursua. Also participating are two of David Zwirners competitors, Gagosian and Hauser & Wirth.

Additionally, there is a kind of pride in pulling something like this off, a weight that carries, of course, into the main exhibiting floors of Art Basel.

In reference to Galerie Peter Kilchmans installation of small paintings by Francis Als, Vielmetter said, I look at that and I think maybe Im crazy for bringing such a work [as Yankos]. She paused and added, But seeing it here, it makes all the pain worth it.

[Editors Note: This article has been updated to clarify that galleries exhibiting with Art Basel Unlimted are paying a fee in addition to typical exhibition fees, not as an alternative.]

Aim Leon Dores new store in Londons Soho has a distinguished presence. Its exterior is marked with a pine green scalloped awning, the brand name positioned at the top in small gold print. Two mannequins bearing Teddy Santiss menswear designs are positioned in the front window, along with a curated collection of objects like a basketball and an urn. Behind that? Well, thats unknown. Just like at the brands Nolita store in New York, the shop mysteriously masks its inside offerings from the street with a pair of velvet curtains hung behind the windows and the door.

But inside, a rich, moody world awaits.

Stle Eriksen

The space, designed by Sarita Posada Interiors in collaboration with West Architecture, features layered antique Persian rugs and floors of swirling Cipollino marble. Yellow boucle chairs sit in front of walnut panelling. Achille Castiglionis Light Ball lamps, an iconic piece of mid-century design, hang from the ceilings.

Posada says she and Santis found inspiration in heritage menswear shops, as well as the work of Austrian architect Adolf Loos (a pioneer of Vienna modernism). The dark walnut wood finishes are a nod to classic Savile Row tailor shops, while the velvet wall panelling and leather banquettes are reminiscent of Londons private clubs. The ornate rugs and green accents are an homage to the renowned mens outfitter, Knize, which was designed by Loos in 1921. Most of the decorative objects are sourced from local London dealers.

It was important to us to reference both traditional settings such as Looss Knize, says Posada, but balance it with a number of additional found mid-century pieces consistent with the brands voice.

I needed someone to replace some water-damaged hard wood flooring in a 120-year-old house in Washington, DC. I received three different flooring quotes from area companies, and I was particularly impressed with the District Floor Depots team. Mario came out to conduct the initial assessment and was kind enough to provide a thorough summary of options available for the repairs and finishing. The office sales and project management team took his notes and assembled a detailed quote that ultimately was cheaper than the closest competitor. In the end, we liked our experience so much that we expanded the work to cover resurfacing the wood flooring in the entire home. There was an error in the quote that altered the price, but Lesli called me and walked me through the correction and explained that the final quote was actually cheaper than the original. I was very thankful for that clarification that saved me money. The team was incredibly responsive with the planning and contracting phases. The initial job was scheduled to take 3-4 days, but they assigned a guy named Ever and his team to the job. Ever was very responsive to my inquiries and ended up completing the job in only two days. The red oak flooring was a decent match with remaining original boards, and the finish we used matched all the stairs and railings we didnt refinish. The major dust and debris generated from sanding a 1,600 square-foot space was expertly cleaned up from all surfaces, which really exceeded my expectations. I couldnt be happier! Thanks to Mario, Ever, Elsi, Lesli, Juan, Ella, Yusuf, and the rest of the team for your service!

Before installing vinyl plank flooring, determine which type of vinyl plank best suits your renovation needs. Vinyl planks can be sorted into three main categories based on their installation method: GripStrip, click-lock and glue down.

Interlocking vinyl plank flooring creates a floating floor, but instead of having an adhesive connecting the planks, the planks interlock with tongue-and-groove joints that easily snap together for a reliable fit.

GripStrip vinyl plank flooring has a manufacturer-applied adhesive layer that connects the planks to one another. This installation method creates a floating floor, which means GripStrip vinyl planking covers the subfloor without adhering or fastening to it in any manner. Floating floors are an easy, mess-free way to install new flooring without necessarily having to remove the existing flooring.

Glue down vinyl plank flooring adheres to the subfloor using either one of two types of adhesives: hard-set or pressure-sensitive. Hard-set adhesive is spread along the subfloor, then the vinyl planks are laid down on top. Pressure-sensitive adhesive is already on the bottom of the plank and bonds to the subfloor when the plank is pressed into place. While both types of adhesives are durable, the pressure-sensitive adhesive can make replacing individual vinyl planks easier.

All three installation methods are suitable for novices, require little time and can be laid over any rigid and level subfloor. Which method you choose depends on personal preference and the room you are planning to renovate. When choosing between floating floor options, note that GripStrip vinyl plank flooring is often water-resistant, while click-lock vinyl plank flooring can be entirely waterproof.

How to Install Vinyl Plank Flooring - The Home Depot

$5,500 to $8,000 is the average cost to install 1000 sq/ft of vinyl plank flooring.

The cost of vinyl plank flooring is $4 to $12 per square foot when professionally installed. Most homeowners pay between $5.50 and $8.00 to have good-quality, water-resistant or waterproof plank flooring installed. This means the average cost for 1,000 square feet of installed vinyl plank flooring ranges from about $5,500 to $8,000.

This page includes detailed vinyl plank flooring costs for materials and installation. Cost factors are explained that will allow you to anticipate a cost range before you shop for LVP and get estimates from flooring installers.

There are plenty of factors to consider when installing a new or replacement floor but for most households the most important question tends to be How much will it cost!?. You may have heard that vinyl plank flooring is a budget friendly flooring option but is that really the case. In this Home Flooring Pros report we are going to lay out the true cost of installing vinyl plank flooring so that you can have a clear idea of whether it is the right flooring choice for you.

When youre ready you can start getting quotes from trustworthy, professional installers in your area.

Lets start with an overview of how the total cost to install vinyl plank breaks down.

The cost of the flooring is the biggest price factor. Cheap vinyl plank flooring starts at about $1.50 per square foot. Peel and stick options can be even cheaper with cost as low as $1.00 per square foot. Premium luxury vinyl plank and tile flooring costs $6.50 to $8.00 per square foot.

Here are the most common materials and their cost they do not include installation.

Installation labor cost ranges from about $1.50 per square foot for easy jobs and as much as $4.50 per square foot for complex installation where a lot of cutting and trimming around obstacles is required. If youre handy, you might want to try DIY installation. Its fairly easy as far as home projects go and can be a rewarding experience. Sure, youll probably ruin a few pieces while getting the hang of installation, but there are good cost savings to be had.

Removing and disposing of old flooring can add $2.00 to $4.00 per square foot depending on the difficulty of the work. When the subfloor must be replaced with new plywood or OSB, expect the cost to rise another $3.00 to $5.50 per square foot.

Heres an installation cost table showing simply what is likely to be included in a low cost, average cost and high cost vinyl plank installation.

Here are the reasons why you might pay closer to $4.00 or $12.00 per square foot for vinyl plank flooring.

What do you get for the money when purchasing vinyl plank or tile flooring?

$1.00 $1.99 per square foot: Self-adhesive or peel and stick vinyl plank flooring is your cheapest option. It is often a DIY project, an inexpensive way to cover bare concrete in a basement or give any room a quick makeover.

The subfloor must be in near-perfect condition, because imperfections will telegraph through this thin vinyl flooring and be easy to spot. Wear layers are quite thin, usually 6 or 8 mils. Cheap vinyl plank flooring can be expected to look good for 3-10 years depending on how much traffic it sees.

$1.50 $3.00 per square foot: Affordable vinyl plank flooring in this price range is often glue-down flooring, though a few floating click-together options are available. You might also find stone polymer core, or SPC, flooring options here. Theyll be entry-level or clearance flooring.

Good-quality standard LVP/LVT is considered water resistant but not waterproof. Thicker wear layers make the flooring more durable than most sheet vinyl and self-adhesive options. Most of the flooring in this category comes with attached pad. Fiberglass pad is better than felt, but its not the most important factor to consider.

Vinyl plank and tile in this category should look good for 10-15 years largely due to a thicker wear layer of 10 to 16 mils.

$2.25 $5.00 Per Square Foot

In this vinyl plank flooring cost range, youll find very good standard flooring and quite a few rigid core vinyl flooring choices, mostly stone polymer composite (SPC) flooring.

Thicker material and better wear layers make this a more durable choice, and you should get 10-20 years from this material depending on how heavily it gets used. Wear layers for vinyl plank flooring in this cost range are usually 12, 16 or 20 mils.

$3.95 $7.50 Per Square Foot

Most vinyl plank and tile flooring in this price range is WPC or stone polymer composite (SPC) rigid core material. It is often called engineered vinyl plank, or EVP. The flooring is waterproof, includes pre-attached underlayment (pad) to absorb sound and floats.

The design might be click-together or loose lay, meaning each plank abuts those around it without interlocking design. The attached pad used on loose lay is designed to grip the subfloor without adhesive. Wear layers of more than 10 mils are most common with the thickest being 22 mils for most products.

$6.00 $9.50 Per Square Foot

This is premium waterproof WPC and SPC vinyl flooring. Youll even find a few options costing more than $10 per square foot for the material. The wear layers offer the best durability and are 16 to 22 mils thick and sometimes a little thicker. Expect this flooring to last 15+ years in residential settings and 5-10 years when used commercially.

There are a lot of well-known players in the luxury vinyl tile and vinyl plank flooring business.

Costs vary a bit. Heres a list of top vinyl plank flooring manufacturers with the types of flooring each sells.

Cheaper products have vinyl cores theres no stone polymer or wood polymer cores that give them greater durability and stability.

Youll find mostly wood-look vinyl plank flooring, but its manufactured in stone looks, herringbone and metallic looks.

While some make a big deal about cost differences between them, thats generally more hype than reality.

Wood Look Planks: $2.25 $12.00 per square foot. Its the widest cost range because it far-and-away offers the most options from cheap to average to highest cost.

Stone Look Planks (marble, slate, granite): $2.00 $8.00 per square foot. Thats a lot cheaper than genuine marble tiles at about $14-$25 a square foot or genuine slate or granite tiles at $11-$20 per square foot will cost you.

Herringbone Planks: $3.50 $7.00 per square foot. Save $8-$10 per square foot with vinyl herringbone than genuine wood.

There are many wood-look and genuine wood flooring options. And it might be useful to compare costs before you decide on vinyl plank flooring or a comparable option.

How much does vinyl plank flooring cost compared to laminate? Engineered hardwood or genuine hardwood? Those are common comparisons, and here are the answers.

Costs are per square foot:

There are several site conditions that affect the labor cost to install vinyl plank flooring.

Removing old flooring: Carpet and pad are easy to tear out. Click-together laminate and vinyl can be removed quickly too. Perimeter glued vinyl usually leaves damage behind where the adhesive pulls material off the subfloor. The entire subfloor must usually be replaced or covered with fresh material when fully glued flooring or ceramic tile is removed. The cost to remove old flooring and properly dispose of it runs $2.00 to $4.00 per square foot. This is an area you can save money with DIY if you have a convenient way to dispose of the old material.

Wood subfloor repair or replacement: Minor gouges or raised edges caused by water damage can usually be filled or sanded, and the existing subfloor can be reused. While not common, occasionally the subfloor is in very poor condition, and it has to be torn out or at least covered with new material. Expect estimates of up to $1.00 per square foot for repairing the subfloor or substrate. The cost of replacement runs $3.00 to $5.50 per square foot.

Concrete issues: The key to successfully laying vinyl plank flooring over concrete is that the surface must be even and level. If it isnt, imperfections will probably show through, and those problems can also cause the flooring to come apart and/or to wear unevenly. Preparation includes filling low spots with self-leveling concrete and filling cracks with elastomeric caulk. Repairs might be priced out by the square foot around $5.00 to $6.00 per square foot for self-leveling concrete. Crack repair generally costs $1-$3 per linear foot depending on the width of the crack and what material is used for the repair.

Vapor barrier: Flooring pros debate whether vapor barrier should be used over concrete. It isnt essential because vinyl plank flooring is water resistant or waterproof. However, if your installer prefers to put down vapor barrier, and youre convinced it is necessary, cost starts under 50 cents per square foot for DIY and tops out closer to $2.00 per square foot when the contractor supplies the material and installs it.

Job complexity: When the floor area is wide open and rectangular, any flooring is easier to install. When estimators eyeball a job, they look for narrow areas such as hallways, obstacles like posts or a fireplace hearth, door jambs and other site factors that slow down the installation process. These can raise the cost per square foot for labor.

Volume of flooring: Installation cost per square foot goes down a little as the amount of flooring goes up. For example, the labor cost for installing 60 square feet in a bathroom is generally $3.00 to $4.50 per square foot while laying 500 square feet throughout the house might reduce cost by $1.00 or more per square foot.

Room clearing: Installers love to see empty spaces, but they often have to move furniture in and out of rooms to install the floor. Expect estimates of $25 to $50 per room based on the amount of furniture that must be moved. This cost might appear as a line item on the estimate or it could simply be factored into the installation cost per square foot.

Appliance disconnection: When working in the kitchen, installers might have to disconnect and reconnect gas appliances. This typically costs $20 to $35 per appliance.

Stairs: Installing plank flooring on stairs is a time-consuming task. Most installers charge $45 to $75 per stair.

Cost to Install Vinyl Plank Flooring | 2022 Home Flooring Pros

Theres a lot to like about hardwood flooring. It brings a bit of natures beauty into your home, and it goes with just about any decor. It requires an investment of both time and money, but when the dust settles, wood floors are almost always worth it. Whether you are thinking of installing hardwood in a single room or your entire home, here are some factors to consider.

Your lifestyle. The biggest factor in deciding whether hardwood will work for you is your lifestyle. Do you have children or pets? Are there high-traffic areas, such as a den, where you are always moving furniture around for gatherings or movie nights? Are you willing to put up with dings, dents and imperfections from a dropped soup can or your Aussiedoodles nails?

Or are you OK with a floor that reflects you and your familys life and history? If so, then hardwood is worth it, says Jennifer Meska, director of merchandising for national retailer LL Flooring.

Solid wood vs. engineered. Solid wood is just that: a solid piece of wood, typically -inch thick, that can be sanded and refinished multiple times. Engineered wood is a layer ranging from paper-thin to -inch of high-quality wood over a plywood core. Depending on the top layers thickness, engineered flooring can be refinished once or twice max. Engineered flooring is both durable and flexible. Manufacturers can also build in features such as water resistance, which can make this flooring choice an option in damp areas, including kitchens and bathrooms.

Appearance. Some woods have finer grains or a uniform texture, while others may contain knots or vary in color. Before you commit to anything, bring home large sample planks (dont rely on a 3-by-3-inch block or a single plank) of each wood you like, and move them from room to room to get a sense of how they will look. The color in the store may be different from what you see at home.

READ MORE: What's the best home improvement you can get for under $20,000? New flooring.

Stability. It may sound obvious, but hardness matters. The wood flooring industry uses the Janka scale to measure the hardness of a particular type of wood. The test measures the force needed to push a 0.444-inch steel ball halfway into the wood. At 1,290, red oak is the median. Black cherry, teak and Douglas fir rank softer; hickory and pecan are harder. Brazilian cherry is one of the hardest. Theres no good or bad Janka rating; rather, its an indication of how much wear and tear solid wood flooring will be able to handle over the years.

Site-finished or prefinished. Solid hardwood is available both without stain and sealer, or prefinished, which are stained and sealed at the factory. For unfinished wood, stain and finish are applied at your home after installation. You get to test multiple shades of stains, and the result is a consistent color across the entire area. One tip from Meska: Ask your installer to keep a record of your color/formula or to leave you a small can in case you have to replace a damaged area.

For either product, youll also need to consider the finish. This ranges from matte to high gloss. Some woods even come with an oil or wax finish for a soft, hand-rubbed look. Finish is really a matter of personal taste, but Jeff Shipwash, owner of Shipwash Properties, a fix-and-flip real estate investment firm in Knoxville, Tenn., says you are more likely to see imperfections with a higher gloss.

Local climate. Hardwood can work in any climate, but you do have to take your location into consideration. Wood swells in high humidity and shrinks as humidity falls. Your installer can explain how to mitigate any potential issues. In areas with sticky, hot summers, you may need air-conditioning. Miller says engineered flooring is more stable and adapts to changes in temperature and humidity better than solid wood.

Hassle factor. Installing a wood floor is invasive and disruptive. Even before installation begins, wood planks may have to acclimate to your environment. That means stacks of boxes will sit in your home for up to two weeks, so the wood can adjust to the temperature and humidity. Existing flooring must be ripped out. Furniture must be removed. Unfinished wood must be cut to fit and sanded, producing enormous amounts of sand dust, akin to a glitter bomb going off, Shipwash says.

Then you have to stain the wood, wait for it to dry, and then sand and seal the wood three times, allowing for the finish to dry between coats, he adds. You cant walk on the floors, and some folks are sensitive to sealer fumes, so you may have to move out of your home for a week or more.

Even though it also has to acclimate, prefinished wood does cut the installation time by half or more. Once its down, its ready to go.

Cost. Engineered wood tends to be a bit cheaper than solid. For example, three-inch-wide traditional red oak costs about 20% more than engineered, Meska says, but the installation costs are the same. People think it is cheaper to get unfinished wood, but you will pay more to finish it, Shipwash says.

Your installer. Because this is a major investment, its best not to cheap out and hire someone off Craigslist, Shipwash says. The NWFAs consumer website is woodfloors.org. There, you can find NWFA-certified installers and salespeople in your area by clicking on Hire an NWFA Professional and entering your zip code. Another option is to locate a local or national specialty retailer. Odds are that business can recommend installers.

Miller says some flooring manufacturers offer their own certifications, so it may be worth the time to look at their websites to see whether they have certified installers in your area. As with any home improvement, you should interview installers and get multiple bids. For additional guidance, download the NWFAs Homeowners Handbook to Real Wood Floors.

The right flooring system lays a good foundation for a quality finish, saving problems and costs later. CaberFloor P5 is the UKs most specified moisture-resistant P5 flooring.

The high-strength particleboard is ideal for domestic and most other floors and removes the need for intermediate noggins. The boards are moisture-resistant, stable, durable, easy to lay and, with a tongue and groove or square-edge profile, provide an excellent surface for subsequent floor laying operations.

Some floors require more advanced solutions and, no matter the size or shape of the floor being laid, there are key questions to ask.

Although not necessarily obvious, the first point to consider is whether the buildings roof will be in place. If the answer is no, the floor will need to withstand the elements.

This is where CaberShieldPlus proves its worth as it is designed to allow building work to continue in all weathers. CaberShieldPlus is an advanced product that has all the inherent benefits of CaberFloor P5.

In addition, it offers double-sided protection with a tough, permanent waterproof coating and is BBA approved for 60 days exposure, when laid according to manufacturers instructions. It is also a non-slip, safe working platform that withstands high site traffic.

An alternative solution is CaberDek which is BBA approved for 42 days exposure, when installed with CaberFix according to manufacturers instructions.

The P5 grade flooring has the advantage of a strong, waterproof and slip-resistant peelable film. It provides protection from the elements and construction mess and, when removed, leaves a clean, finished floor.

The film is impact, puncture and tear-resistant to withstand high site traffic. CaberDek also provides 44dB sound reduction when used in conjunction with leading I-beam and insulation manufacturers.

All three CaberFloor products comply with BS EN312 and are designed to be used with the CaberFix range of specially developed sealing and fixing products that include powerful adhesives and tapes.

For example, CaberFloor P5 is best used with CaberFix Joint&Joist, an adhesive and sealant that will adhere to a wide variety of materials, creating a strong, silent, and flexible bond. Similarly, CaberFix D4 complements CaberDek and CaberShieldPlus. This adhesive bonds flooring to joists, T&G joints and seals exposed perimeter and edges.

Beyond the advantages and practicalities of using CaberFloor, the materials and processes used to manufacture the product offer the reassurance of being sustainable.

Unsurprisingly, West Frasers range of board products is available in a wide selection of sizes to minimise waste.

All timber used is responsibly sourced and FSC certified and the panels are manufactured in the UK from locally grown timber and are net carbon negative.

Additionally, all of West Frasers UK mills have obtained the coveted ISO 14001 environmental accreditation.

The West Fraser website contains a handy flowchart to help builders, specifiers and architects choose the right flooring system for every project, coupled with handy installation guides and videos https://uk.westfraser.com/resources/help-advice/installation-instructions/ for the individual CaberFloor products.
