Key Features of BISCO L3-XX40 Flooring

The BISCO L3-XX40 is a revolutionary new flooring material designed for dynamic environments that require flexibility and durability. Here are some of the key features that make it an ideal choice:

Impact Absorption

The L3-XX40 material contains a high-density foam core which provides excellent impact absorption. This makes it suitable for use in areas with heavy foot traffic, dropped equipment, or other sources of impact. The foam disperses the energy to prevent damage to the flooring.

Sound Insulation

With its closed cell foam construction, the L3-XX40 blocks airborne sound transmission very effectively. This helps create quieter environments by preventing noise transfer between rooms or floors.

Dimensional Stability

The flooring retains its shape and lies flat without curling. This dimensional stability is essential for smooth installation and preventing trip hazards.

Moisture Resistance

The durable high-density foam core resists damage from moisture, making this flooring suitable for areas prone to spills, flooding or temperature/humidity changes.

Easy Installation

L3-XX40 flooring utilizes a unique pin & block attachment system for easy floating installation without glue. Tiles can also be removed and replaced individually if needed.

Long Lasting

This flooring is designed to handle heavy use in commercial and industrial settings. The wear surface provides exceptional resistance to scuffs, scratches and indentations. Properly installed, it can last for decades.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of environments is L3-XX40 flooring suitable for?

This heavy-duty flooring is ideal for commercial and industrial settings with high foot traffic, rolling loads, potential impact damage, or significant noise. Typical applications include warehouses, manufacturing facilities, airports, athletic facilities, laundry rooms, and mechanics’ shops or garages.

How difficult is installation of the pin & block system?

The proprietary pin & block attachment used by L3-XX40 is designed for easy floating installation by facilities maintenance staff without needing to hire outside contractors. Tiles connect securely by hand without tools, glue or nails.

Can L3-XX40 be installed over existing flooring?

In most cases, yes. L3-XX40 can be installed over most existing hard surface flooring. The foam back provides cushion and sound insulation. The floor should be flat, clean, and dry before installation.

How is this flooring cleaned and maintained?

L3-XX40 has a durable polyurethane coating that resists scratches. For everyday cleaning, sweeping, mopping or vacuuming is recommended. Periodically the floor should be cleaned with neutral PH cleaner. The wear surface is resistant to oils and chemicals.

What is the expected lifespan of this flooring?

Properly installed and maintained, L3-XX40 can provide decades of reliable service even in demanding commercial environments. The wear surface and foam core are highly durable. Tiles can also be selectively replaced if damaged. Lifespans of 30 years or more can be expected.
