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
AirStep AirStep Advanta Advantages ges
- 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
