Gerflor Virtuo 55 Rigid Acoustic Herringbone 4V

Yes, this more expensive method of installation is recommended by manufacturers. Full-surface bonding is a more reliable method, as the floor does not require expansion joints to accommodate thermal expansion and can be laid over a certain area without the need for transition strips.

A composite floor may or may not contain a vinyl wear layer. A floor with a vinyl top layer is also essentially a composite. Thanks to the SPC or HDF core board, it takes on the desired properties of these materials – greater dimensional stability and less susceptibility to showing unevenness in the subfloor.

Primarily due to their versatility and durability. They are water-resistant, and the surface offers good durability; at the same time, composite flooring is pleasant to the touch and comfortable to walk on. They are quiet. They are an excellent solution even for demanding rooms such as bathrooms or kitchens.

No, laminate flooring is subject to more rigorous durability testing; nevertheless, composite flooring usually offers a high level of durability. In exchange for slightly lower durability compared to laminate, however, you gain comfort when walking, a warmer surface and water resistance.

If your composite flooring does not have an integrated underlay, you will need to install one. If you are laying the flooring on a substrate containing mineral components, such as a cement screed or gypsum levelling compound, from which additional moisture may evaporate, you will also need a vapour barrier.

Yes. The composite flooring we offer meets strict health and safety standards and is safe for standard use. 

A composite floor consists of several layers – a wear layer, a decorative layer, a core layer and, in some cases, an integrated underlay layer. Most commonly, the core board in composite flooring is made from natural HDF or the popular SPC (a composite plastic), which makes the flooring strong and more dimensionally stable. Composite flooring with an SPC core board is robust and suitable even for more demanding, damp rooms – thanks to its 100% water resistance.
