WHY TRIVERSA PRIME? Key reasons SPC (stone polymer composite) - - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

WHY TRIVERSA PRIME?

Key reasons

• SPC (stone polymer composite) continues to

gain momentum in rapidly expanding LVT category

• Opportunity to improve Triversa’s

construction

• Adjust and “right-size” its price point in the

market

What’s the difference between Triversa and new Triversa Prime? Main difference is the core

 Both WPC and SPC cores are extruded.

• - WPC core contains a foaming agent that adds air to

the core designed to increase resilience.

• - SPC is an acronym for stone polymer composite vinyl
• flooring. SPC is an engineered construction that

combines limestone and stabilizers to create an extremely durable core. SPC is a solid core with no added foaming agents, giving it a stronger, more robust, and more dimensionally stable construction.

SPC products have a few distinct advantages over

• WPC. Triversa Prime has

more impact resistance and better dimensional stability than original Triversa, making it more damage resistant and better able to withstand temperature fluctuations.

TRIVERSA PRIME

Even with these key differences, the real appeal of Triversa Prime is the fact that it is new; and most importantly, priced to be extremely competitive in the market today.

DESIGN PACKAGE

All current thirty one (31) Triversa patterns have been converted to the new SPC construction. The designs and colors are identical to the current Triversa patterns. The pattern designation crossover are a simple conversion changing the “V” to “X”. So TV001 is nowTX001.

TRIVERSA PRIME

The existing Triversa ID patterns will still have the enhanced features (i.e. painted beveled edges, mixed widths and lengths), but they will not be separately called out as ID. We will designate all of the designs as Triversa Prime.

Embossing

Triversa Prime’s SPC construction allows for deeper more realistic texture on some

• designs. However, most will

retain the same texture as the existing Triversa.

Edge Treatment

Edges and ends will have the same bevel. The painted beveled edges will be slightly narrower and have a more contemporary look.

IXPE BACKING

Triversa Prime has a textured IXPE (- Irradiation cross- linked polyethylene foam)

• backing. In addition to the

benefits listed to the right, it provides excellent acoustical sound properties. IIC 65 (6" concrete slab with drop ceiling, floating) ΔIIC 24 (6" concrete slab, floating)

TRIVERSA PRIME

• Waterproof

 Floor can be dried out and re-installed.

• As long as water was clean
• Care taken to unlock flooring
• Moisture Barrier

 Targeting a healthy home environment  Recommend addressing moisture problem not

covering it up

• Use available products to reduce moisture vapor

TRIVERSA PRIME

TEMPERATURE TOLERANCE

• Primarily a function of the core
• Under typical conditions, Triversa Prime does not

have to be acclimated to the jobsite.

• Acclimation is recommended if extreme temperature

variations occur.

 Range outside 55°F to 90°F

• Must acclimate room

 Between 65°F - 85°F for 48 hours prior to and

during installation

 Temperature after - maintain between 50°F and

100°F

• Can withstand bedbug treatment
• Direct sunlight heat on floor may not be problematic

TRIVERSA PRIME

Site Conditions

 HVAC must be in operation for at least 10

days

 Acclimate the rooms to a constant

temperature between 65°F to 85°F

 All base cabinets, including island cabinets

must be installed prior to the floorcovering installation

 Remove trim and under cut wood door

casings

 Prepare subfloor as required for floating or

adhered application

TRIVERSA PRIME

Suitable Substrates

 Clean, Structurally Sound, Free of Movement  Flat-3/16” in 10’ or 1/16” in 1’  Dry-Not to exceed 5 lbs. MVE  Existing floors must be fully bonded  Do not install over floating wood or laminate  Do not install over expansion joints

TRIVERSA PRIME

Small Installations

 In small rooms like bathrooms or small foyers

the expansion space can be reduced to 1/8” provided they are not connected to a larger room

 Never fit flooring net or flush to the wall or

fixtures

 Do not tape, adhere or fasten the floor along

• ne or more sides

TRIVERSA PRIME

Large Installations

 If width or length exceed 50

lineal feet, an expansion joint is required

 Install Transitions as a T-

Molding

• Allow a ¼” expansion space.
• Do not drive fasteners through

the floor

 Do not make the expansion

space wider to compensate for additional length or width

TRIVERSA PRIME

• Floating Installations

 Layout-Adjust the layout to avoid narrow planks at

side walls

 Start in the left hand corner with the groove side

against the wall

 Allow a ¼” space between the wall and the edge of

the plank. Cover the edge with a minimum ½” trim.

 Work from left to right completing each row  Use a guide and a tapping block to lock the plank

together

 Use a pull bar to lock the plank at the end of each row

and at the last row

TRIVERSA PRIME

Recommended for commercial use

If the installation is in a commercial setting where heavy static or rolling loads are present or where high performance requirements must be met, Triversa Prime must be fully adhered using AD-62 adhesive.

TRIVERSA PRIME

• Fully Adhered Installation

 Use AD62 Adhesive following trowel notch recommendations on

the label

 Dry fit the first 2 rows allowing a 1/4 “ expansion space.  Snap a chalk line along the edge of the second row.  Spread adhesive up to the chalk line  Install the first two rows along the chalk line  Use a tapping block to assemble the planks and spacers along

the edges to prevent movement.

 Roll the flooring with a 50 to 100 pound roller with in 10 minutes

• r before adhesive sets up

 Continue installing the floor, spreading only enough adhesive

that can be covered with in the working time of the adhesive
