Waterproof laminate panels. What's their secret?

28 of July '21


Waterproof panels have revolutionized the flooring market. They have shown that wet stains need not harm laminates at all. Thus, they began to enter more and more boldly into such spaces as the kitchen, hallway and even the bathroom. What makes them stand out with such high resistance to damage? We explain using RuckZuck products as an example.

RuckZuck has set its sights on the highest level of floor finishes, introducing water-resistant panels and giving water-resistant properties to existing models. In total, the range includes as many as eleven collections of water-resistant floors. We can look for the perfect proposal for our design project in such series as Expedition 4V WR, Elite 4V WR or Legend 4V WR.

Among them, there are proposals with synchronous structure (with clearly outlined grain pattern) and multicolor colors (subtle tonal transitions visible on the surface). All are decorated with a wood pattern (in varying shades) and have milled four-sided edges. This makes them look extremely natural in the interior, perfectly fitting into a variety of design styles. And to what do they owe their resistance to scratches and contact with water?

Megaloc Aqua Protect - innovation and convenience

A key role is played by the revised method of joining the panels - Megaloc Aqua Protect. Like its earlier version (Megaloc locking), it allows for quick, easy laying of the floor in a floating system. However, it has a new profile shape, which ensures that the joint is completely sealed, and this makes it more difficult for water to penetrate deep into the floor.

A modified HDF board also provides a barrier to water. The edges of the panels have been impregnated with a special water repellent (through multiple applications of this revolutionary coating). All this creates a proven and reliable protection against warping of the panels. They retain their unchanged appearance even when exposed to water for 24 hours. This has been confirmed by tests conducted by the North American Laminate Flooring Association (NALFA) - the Water Resistant series panels, available from RuckZuck, ranked in the first, best result group.

new technology -
higher resistance to damage

The panels are made with LLT anti-scratch technology, which increases their resistance to abrasion and micro-scratching. Thanks to this, the gloss or matte level of the floor remains constant for a long time, and this translates into many years of satisfactory use of the floor. Among the advantages is also the LLT anti-static surface, which prevents the formation of electrical charges on the floor and thus eliminates the accumulation of dust. It is therefore also suitable for allergy sufferers. The fact that the panels are safe for health and environmentally friendly is evidenced by the Blue Angel certificate obtained. The panels fit perfectly into the trend of ecological, sustainable and natural solutions.
