Välinge 5G Dry Improves Water Resistance

Välinge Innovation’s 5G Dry is a fold-down installation system that provides enhanced water resistance by preventing water from penetrating into the seams of the floor panels.

This technology makes floors easy to install and helps ensure they look brand-new, says the company.

The North American Laminate Floor Association‘s 48 hours test — 24 hours with water pillar and 24 hours recovery — is commonly used in order to assess the water behaviour of floor installations. In wood-based floorings, 5G Dry contributes to significantly lower edge swelling, thereby ensuring the floor both looks and feels better despite being subjected to wet mopping, accidents and other events from everyday use.

5G Dry can be paired with wood-based floors, such as hardened wood and engineered wood, and with both laminate and resilient flooring.
