The good reasons for choosing to stock products from a particular flooring company are often numerous, but in the case of Elka the use of technology and the quality of output are complemented by a comprehensive approach that sees it produce not just the floors themselves, but also the underlays below.
Elka Flooring specialises in producing cutting-edge laminate, with an emphasis on great variety and choice.
One of those choices is between having an AC3 grade laminate product and AC4 grade. The first of these is designed for use in homes or small commercial premises like shops, whereas the latter is a harder material and is made for places like large commercial premises where the footfall is much greater.
Another choice is between the different Elka laminate flooring materials. The range in stock includes oak, maple, walnut and a number of unfamiliar woods such as wenge, meaning buyers can select the look that is just right for their home or commercial floor.
The products mostly have 192 mm wide planking, but there is also an option for two-strip flooring, where overlapping staves form a pattern like bricks in a wall. The warranties on such products last for 15 or 20 years depending on the specifications of each item.
An area where Elka specialises is that of making bevelled laminate flooring. This means that the edges are not flat, but angled to form what are known as v-grooves when joined to the opposite plank. The result of this is that the joins are very prominent and this gives the floor a dynamic and modern look.
But Elka does not just make the floors themselves. Elka flooring underlay is also available and it comes in a number of forms, with different specifications being suited to various circumstances. For example, while the underlays for wooden subfloors do not need or have a moisture barrier, those for concrete subfloors do, as that substance is more porous.
Other products in the underlay range include soundproof underlay, which may be ideal for floors where sound will normally escape easily, or where activities in the room may often generate a high level of noise and make such a product desirable.
So with products both for the surface of the floor and underneath, Elka offers the chance to deal with different aspects of peoples’ flooring needs.
