Floorbit 5mm Overview

Floorbit 5mm

UV-resistant coating.

Protects the decorative paper from fading and discolouration.

Overlay.

The overlay is a transparent film that safeguards the decorative layer beneath from the rigours of daily life, providing resistance against stains, wear and impact.

Natural wood grain

Experience the touch of wood grain, replicated on the surface of every Floorbit 5mm plank, based on digital scans of wood veneer. The natural edge finish creates a seamless transition from plank to plank.

Stain-resistant

Floorbit 5mm non-staining surface ensures that even furniture and chair castors leave no trace. The tightly sealed surface prevents dirt from penetrating. In the event of spills or stains, the planks can be effortlessly cleaned with acetone, thinner, or alcohol.

Abrasion-resistant

With an AC3 rating, Floorbit 5mm is designed to withstand the heavy traffic of residential areas. It can be installed almost anywhere in the home, from the staircase to the living room, bedroom to kitchen, and even entrances. Whether you're constructing a new home, renovating an existing space, or simply refreshing a single room, Floorbit 5mm rises to any challenge.

Anti-slip

The textures on the floorboards enhance stability and minimise the risk of slips and falls. With Floorbit 5mm's anti-slip properties, you can enjoy a comfortable and secure walking experience in every room.

Decorative layer.

Decor describes the appearance of a floor’s surface. With digital imaging technology, high-definition natural wood surface reproduction is printed on the decorative foil, without the use of harmful dyes and pigments.

Coreboard.

With an average density surpassing 1200kg/m³, Floorbit 5mm's coreboard is designed to resist wear and tear, providing a solid foundation for your floor. This exceptional density ensures that Floorbit 5mm planks remain stable and secure, allowing for precise manufacturing of the click profile.

Waterproof

The coreboard’s waterproof composite material provides a high degree of hardness, density, and resistance to moisture-induced swelling at the joints. It’s also termite-resistant without the need for insecticides.

Backing layer.

The waterproof backing layer balances the Floorbit 5mm and provides a high degree of dimensional stability. It ensures that Floorbit 5mm will not cup or bow when properly installed and maintained, and resist rips, tears, and gouges.

Patented DPL TechnoBalancer

The DPL TechnoBalancer is adhered to the bottom of the coreboard in a single production step, creating a barrier against moisture.

Engraved logo

Floorbit’s logo is embossed on the back of each plank as a mark of identification of a genuine Floorbit product.

Waterproof.

The coreboard is tested and certified for 0% thickness swelling (TS) after 24 hours, surpassing the EN 13329 requirement of 18% TS or lower after 24 hours. This means that when accidents happen, like a glass of water falling on the floor, it is not a problem to Floorbit 5mm. However, we recommend removing any standing moisture as soon as reasonably possible.

Stable in high-temperature environments.

The patented TechnoBalancer ensures that Floorbit 5mm will not curl even when exposed to direct sunlight. The overlay also creates a surface that is resistant to chemicals, water, organic solvents, and temperature fluctuations.

Can be installed on uneven subfloors.

Floorbit underlay is installed above the subfloor and beneath Floorbit 5mm planks, providing sound dampening and levelling out minor imperfections in the subfloor. And with the moisture-resistant backing layer, Floorbit 5mm will not cup or bow when properly installed and maintained.

Easy to clean.

Floorbit 5mm requires minimal effort to keep them looking their best due to its tough wear layer (the walking layer). A regular sweeping routine and occasional mopping are all it takes to maintain the pristine condition of Floorbit 5mm for years to come. The walking layer also works to minimise ambient sound and footfalls and feels warm underfoot.

High locking strength.

Floorbit 5mm’s coreboard has an average density of over 1200kg/m³, ensuring a stronger, more stable click connection between each plank. With the click-and-lock system, installation of Floorbit 5mm is a breeze. You can have your new floor in place quickly and efficiently, saving time and installation costs.

High impact resistance.

Floorbit 5mm features a surface with a strong protective layer, providing high impact resistance to ensure it remains mark-free and undamaged. The multilayer construction and the dense core material enables Floorbit 5mm to withstand impacts from dropped objects and high-heeled shoes.

Termite-resistant.

Floorbit 5mm is engineered to meet high standards of termite resistance. It complies with the EN 13329 requirements to provide superior resistance against moisture, heat, abrasion, termites, fading, stains and impact, certified by Entwicklungs- und Prüflabor Holztechnologie GmbH (EPH).

Formaldehyde-free.

Formaldehyde emissions are classified into different classes, ranging from E1, E2 to E3, with E1 being the lowest pollutant emission. The output of formaldehyde, that is, the formaldehyde content of the air, is measured in “parts per million” (ppm). The permissible limit value is 0.1 ppm. Floorbit 5mm falls into the E1 class and is therefore regarded as pollutant-free. Adequate ventilation in your home can further reduce levels of formaldehyde and other common indoor air contaminants.

Non-toxic.

Floorbit 5mm does not contain any pesticides, organochlorine compounds, heavy metals, or other harmful additives. It is also free from phthalates and plasticizers.
