ALLOC, a Technological Breakthrough
ALLOC flooring is tough - wear resistant, burn resistant, indentation resistant, fade resistant and easy to clean. 
Alloc precision flooring is the first great news in years within the floor covering industry. And more importantly for you! The revolutionary ingredient is a patented mechanical Locking system that joins the floor planks without the use of glue.
Alloc Original and Domestic flooring features a patented mechanical locking system that replaces the traditional glued tongue and groove joint, offering a strong, precise aluminum joint that will not come apart. This technology allows Alloc Original and Domestic to offer the industry's only 5 Star Warranty covering joint integrity, fading, staining, wear and water resistance. In addition, the system allows for a perfectly aligned installation, eliminating alignment difficulties that exist during a glued installation.
Alloc Original is perfect for numerous applications, and can be installed in half the time of a glued laminate allowing the flooring to be installed and used in the same day!
Alloc Original offers a superior construction of high pressure laminate top, a high density fiberboard core, and a high pressure laminate backing, providing a well balanced, durable floor. Alloc Original's edges are sealed with wax, offering superior spill resistance.
To this quality base structure, the mechanical scarf joint of aluminium and its integral locking system, wax sealed edges and a new silent system rubber-like underlayment are added for a complete, ready to use product with tight tolerances. The chosen components and materials are selected to be environmentally friendly and recyclable.
Alloc Patented Mechanical Scarf Joint (Original & Domestic)
ALLOC benfits at time of installation
1. The floor planks will be positioned and aligned with precision due to the integral patented scarfjoint system. (no cracks between planks)
2. The joint will have great strength that will not deteriorate over time or due to forces acting upon it. (500 kp / m; 28 lb / inch)
3. It can be installed at a pace of 450 square feet per hour, compared to regular laminate flooring at less than 100 square feet per hour. It is easy to saw with a regular hand saw or electric circle-, or jig saw.
4. Some installation errors can be corrected easily since the planks are not glued together.
5. If the subfloor is not perfect prior to installation it is easy to make corrections as you go by taking up a plank filling in e.g a low point and replacing the plank again. It is further suitable to install over a subfloor that has radiant heating.
6. Twice as large areas can be installed without expansion joints. Regular laminated floors require expansion joints when the area exceeds 1000 square feet or a length of 30 feet.
7. No messy glue is needed. (no wipe-off, no risk for poor application)
8. The underlayment is built into the product. No need to buy separate rolls with possible excess material. No labor cost for measuring and cutting and positioning an underlayment on top of the subfloor.
9. You can move the furniture around in the room as you install. There is no glue that needs to dry and you can use the floor as soon as it is installed.
