With the launch, the manufacturer will become the first Quebec-based company to offer customers a locking system option for genuine hardwood flooring.
Valinge is a pioneer in the glue-free flooring industry, developing world-wide patented locking systems that make installing floors fast and easy.
With over 50 key partners around the globe, including big industry names such as Armstrong and Tarkett, Valinge and its licensees represent one of the largest flooring groups in the world.
The company works with its partners to design mechanical locking systems for floating floors that are specially engineered for each manufacturer.
The systems offer a nearly tool-free installation that results in flawless laying of hardwood floors.
"We are delighted to begin what we believe will be a long-lasting, successful partnership with Valinge," says Julien Dufresne, vice president of sales and marketing at Preverco.
"The new locking system will provide our customers with a greater variety of installation options, and the state-of-the-art technology upholds Preverco's commitment to manufacturing the highest quality, hardwood flooring possible." Preverco and Valinge are working closely together to incorporate floor boards of varying widths into the new line.
Using a customized piece of manufacturing equipment designed by the Swedish experts, Preverco will be able to modify the size of the locking strip to fit different widths ranging from the standard 3 andfrac14; inch to the wider 7 inch planks.
