Välinge Announces Meisterwerke as 5G Dry Licensee

Thursday, April 11, 2024

Välinge Innovation's first European 5G Dry licensee, German flooring manufacturer Meisterwerke, has launched a new collection of laminate floors with leakproof seams.

“Meisterwerke is a long-term partner of Välinge, and we are very happy to further deepen our cooperation. With our 5G Dry technology their laminate collection will be even more competitive”, said Niklas Borgquist, key account manager at Välinge Innovation.

5G Dry is Välinge's leakproof installation system, developed to meet market demand for high-performance floors that are easy to install, according to the company. The technology has a waterproof joint that prevents liquids from seeping through the seams of the floor panels, aimed at minimizing the risk of damage to both panels and the subfloor. 5G Dry provides waterproofing without needing to add coating or chemicals, either in production or on the finished product.

“With 5G Dry, we can offer our customers easy-to-install laminate products with waterproof seams. The outcomes are remarkable, and our subsequent move involves evaluating the integration of this leakproof installation system into other flooring types, thereby enhancing the durability of these products,” said Guido Schulte, managing director at Meisterwerke. "Välinge shares our passion for innovation, and we truly appreciate working with such a reliable and trustworthy partner,” Schulte added.

“Interest in floors with waterproof properties continues to increase, and it's clearly about to become the new standard for both wood, laminate and elastic products", Borgquist concluded. “We are experiencing high demand for our 5G Dry technology, and it’s rewarding to hear how much our licensees and their customers appreciate its many benefits.”
