Viplex is composed of three layers plus a coating layer
The upper layer from hard African or European wood with 4 to 6 mm thickness
The middle layer from parallel strips of spruce with 7 to 5 mm thickness
The lower layer from spruce with 3 mm thickness
Coating:
5 layers of European U.V Acrylic coating material with high resistance towards friction & corrosion
Glue used in Production:
European PVA-D3 Glue is used in the production phases complying with all the European Industrial & environmental
standards
.

• Installation Methods: Viplex can be applied to any Flat surface
(Tiles - Ceramic - Wood - Flat Surfaced Concrete)
• Floating System : Where the strips are directly installed over a layer of poly ethylene with 2 mm thickness while using the PVA-D3 glue on the
boards'
tongues.
This method is preferred for all the other methods.
• Viro Floor Method: Since our product is composed of natural wood, It could be nailed down on thin softwood strips of 8 mm thickness with 2 layers of poly ethylene above and under the strips to protect those strips & the boards against humidity.
This method is preferred for its good sound resistance plus its humidity resistance.
• Glue down method : Where the strips are directly glued to any flat floor using polymer-based glues made specially to glue wooden floors to any flat surface.
