AirStep Advanta AirStep Advantages ges

Overall construction

  • Felt inner liner vs. fiberglass
  • Fiberglass – Dimensional stability –must full spread
  • Felt - Controlled stability – allows three installation options

LAYS FLAT - STAYS FLAT

  • Dense flexible composite backing
  • Toughness and durability
  • Flexible, easy handling

  • Leader in Protectors category
  • Unaided brand awareness that’s

unsurpassed

  • Clean floors = Peace of Mind for

consumers

AirStep AirStep Advanta Advantages ges

Consumers define clean with three key terms

  • 1. Easy to clean

Means floors require minimal work to clean:

Single step or minimal steps

No scrubbing needed

  • 2. Repellent

Means protection prevents dust, dirt and debris from settling and sticking to surface.

  • Repel sticky elements that are most difficult to clean
  • Eliminate the dreaded “hands & knees scrubbing”
  • 3. Durable

Means floors withstand wear, tear, or marks for a prolonged period of time.

Withstand daily use

No specialty products needed to clean
