[Farmers Branch, Texas] Duracryl International B.V. and InstaFloor NA, LLC have announced a partnership, where InstaFloor NA, LLC will support and market the patented Corques Liquid Lino (CLL), a liquid self-leveling linoleum product in the North American market.
Duracryl International B.V. is the Netherlands based manufacturer of hard floor covering products for residential and commercial use. InstaFloor NA, LLC is the Dallas, Texas based subsidiary of the UK based InstaGroup.
Jeroen van den Berg, managing director of Duracryl, said he is pleased with the introduction of their Corques Liquid Lino (CLL) product into the North American market via the strategic alliance with InstaFloor NA. InstaFloor has been active in the North American market for several years.
Bas van Genderen, managing director of InstaFloor NA, said he sees a great future for the co-operation between the two companies as their products are complementary to each other and do not compete.
According to the companies, CLL is the first liquid applied resilient floorcovering for commercial and residential use — it is packaged in buckets and is manufactured from a combination of natural products such as resins, linseed oil, wood, cork flour, limestone and natural pigments. It is suitable for use in many different applications including schools, hospitals, retail outlets, offices, museums, homes and apartments, and is particularly suited to high traffic areas where a hygienic, seamless floorcovering with a natural look and feel is required, the companies said.
The companies added that CLL is extremely durable, chemical resistant, elastic and is available in 54 standard colors, but almost any unique color can be produced. There are no seams so there is no welding or welding materials required (saving cost and installation time), no cutting loss, no direction for installation and is self-adhering (no cost for adhesives) and user friendly. It is applied as a seamless wall to wall self-levelling liquid with biopolymer binders. When CLL is installed over InstaLay 25 it adds foot comfort, enhances thermal and acoustic performance and produces an anti-fatigue floor, the companies said.
