Munich/Kaisersesch, February 8, 2023. The CLASSEN Group, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of laminate flooring and PVC-free wall and floor coverings, will present four groundbreaking innovations at BAU 2023, taking place April 17–23 in Munich. In addition to the licensable Megaloc installation systems and the XXL-sized, fully recyclable Ceramin® floors and tiles, the company will also showcase the new Uberwood® collection, featuring a surface texture that is entirely new to date, as well as an innovative new herringbone laminate. All of these new products can be experienced up close at the CLASSEN Group’s booth (Hall A6, Booth 314).
For many years, the CLASSEN Group’s Megaloc systems have been tried and true and popular in the flooring industry. The new generation of the Megaloc locking system is not only water-resistant for up to 48 hours—just like the previous Megaloc AquaProtect—but it also makes it easy to remove planks that have already been installed. This non-destructive removal is not limited to laminate flooring; the Fold-Down system is also available as Megaloc XXL for floating-installed pre-finished hardwood flooring. The family-owned company’s commitment to sustainability is reflected here in an extended product life cycle and improved durability of the floors. The CLASSEN Group also makes this patented system—in which the end edges lock together quickly and easily or simply fold apart when the planks are removed—available to the entire industry as part of its licensing business.
At BAU in Munich, CLASSEN is presenting severalnewCeramin®products.Ceramin®consists primarily of natural mineral fillers and polyolefins, mainly polypropylene (PP). In turn, more than 60 percent of the plastic content consists of recycled materials. As a result, the floor and wall coverings are healthy for the home, 100 percent recyclable, and a sustainable alternative to PVC flooring, ceramic tiles, and natural stone.
TheCeramin®Tiles collection, which has already proven itself on the market, is being expanded with new designs. This entirely new category of tiles is ultralight, durable, and ideal for bathroom renovations or refurbishments. Despite their size of 2.55 × 1.20 meters, the XXL designs weigh up to 60 percent less than conventional ceramic tiles and can be installed by a single person. This makesCeramin®Tiles particularly attractive to DIYers and professionals alike.
In addition, with its new “Nuva” collection, CLASSEN showcases all the technical advancements of the newCeramin®generation. In addition to an embossed bevel in the wear layer, Nuva stands out above all for its XL sizes.
At BAU, the CLASSEN Group is introducing a new category of flooring withUberwood®.Thanks to the company’s high level of manufacturing expertise, the flooring features a diamond-hard, scratch-resistant surface. As a result,Uberwood®meetsService Class33 and Abrasion Class 5standards. In addition, the installation system guarantees water resistance for up to 100 hours. Combined with the 2-millimeter-thick underlay—which serves as sound insulation and eliminates the need for additional impact sound insulation—the flooring is suitable for all applications, from private living spaces to commercial or retail areas.
The standard format inthe Uberwood®collection is complemented by an XL format, designed primarily to give smaller rooms a more open feel. The look and feel ofUberwood® planksare exceptional and completely innovative. Three different synchronized textures (Authentic, Iconic, Rustic) and 15 designs leave nothing to be desired. The rustic designs, in particular—with textures that, until now, only solid wood floors have been able to achieve at this level of depth—demonstrate a love for product detail: modeled after hand-selected, locally sourced woods, they feature striking cracks and knots with authentic highlights, perfected by an additional elegant finish. As a result, the planks look so natural that they are virtually indistinguishable from solid wood flooring. In accordance with the CLASSEN Group’s commitment to sustainability, the wood used comes exclusively from FSC® (FSC C100583) and PEFC (PEFC/04-31-0824) certified forests.
With Manor, CLASSEN is introducing its first herringbone collection. While this isn’t a first for the industry, CLASSEN is once again demonstrating its technological leadership: The completely new installation system does away with left- and right-facing planks, thereby outshining conventional herringbone products. In addition, it eliminates the need for retailers to maintain two separate inventories and prevents the possibility of mixing up planks during installation. The innovative “Fold-Down” installation method ensures true ease of installation and rapid progress for both herringbone and standard laying patterns. For a perfect look, the herringbone planks have an aspect ratio of 5:1 = 620 x 124 mm. The designs are available in both 8 mm and 10 mm thicknesses. The synchronized pore appearance emphasizes the natural look of the designs and gives the products an exclusive character.
These and other new products will be on display at CLASSEN booth at BAU from April 17 to 23.
