EGGER leads the way in structural flooring solutions T he EGGER Advanced Structural Flooring System is a key innovation for EGGER UK, one of Europe’s leading wood-based panel manufacturers. The system is specifically designed to help house builders save time, money and manpower on their projects. It’s based on a simple six-step installation process and suitable for both masonry and timber frame builds. The system combines three key components; EGGER tongue and groove structural flooring boards, EGGER Joint and Joist D4 Adhesive and a proven easy to use fitting method. It is based on the company’s portfolio of structural P5 grade flooring boards with enhanced moisture resistant properties, which include EGGER P5, EGGER Peel Clean Xtra and EGGER Protect. The boards are manufactured using sustainable raw materials on one of the most sophisticated production lines in Europe. They each have a tongue and groove profile created using diamondtipped tooling for stronger and tighter fitting joints. When used together they have the potential to offer considerable benefits to house builders, including faster installations with fewer stoppages and floors can be laid in light rain conditions. To give house builders added peace of mind, the entire EGGER Advanced Structural Flooring System is backed by the company’s lifetime guarantee. A key feature is EGGER Protect, an innovative type of floor board which can be left exposed to the elements for up to 42 days during the build process which helps to minimise weather related delays and enable faster installations. EGGER Protect is manufactured from an EGGER P5 flooring grade particleboard with a unique, weather resistant surface layer applied to the top and underside of the board. Its hard-wearing anti-slip surface provides additional foot holding in wet and dry conditions, which not only contributes to site safety, it also creates an essential safe working platform for use in construction. When glued with EGGER Joint & Joist D4 Adhesive it provides a fully sealed working deck that requires no jo int sealing tape and protects against moisture, impact and the wear and tear of heavy site traffic. 58 An added benefit is its concrete-effect finish meaning that no painting is required once work has been completed. Dan Soulsby, EGGER Category Manager for Building Products, explains: “EGGER is proud to be an industryleading provider of commercial and domestic structural flooring applications. “We strive to give our customers innovative solutions, exceptional product quality, value for money and complete peace of mind on every floor they lay. No other engineered flooring chipboards provide the same outstanding protection and structural properties or offer installers so many laying and fixing benefits. “Each product within the EGGER Advanced Structural Flooring System has been manufactured to the highest standard and the lifetime guarantee reinforces our commitment to quality and belief in the products and system. “Regardless of the scale of the project, whether it’s a large-scale housing development, self- build, renovation, property conversion or home extension, it is our aim to be the indisputable first choice for anyone who wants peace of mind in their work when installing a structural chipboard floor.” www.egger.com [email protected]
