NOBLESSE LAMINATE FLOORING

This is the real thing not a Chinese knock off.

Don't say, I didn't warn you, when 5 years later your flooring starts having problems at the seams or during the actual install -- if you purchase laminate somewhere else!

-- Attention Shoppers for Kronoswiss Crystal Clic -- It has come to my attention that I need to make clear the quality of the locking mechanism, and wear layer we are offering compared to our competition on the internet. Kronoswiss has completely redesigned their Crystal Click laminate flooring product. We currently provide the latest version of this product in the 8mm.

Isometric Locking Mechanism = No Stress On the Joints

We have sold Silent Step Kronoswiss with a sound barrier on the back for the last three years.  Kronoswiss has now made some radical changes in their locking system that has made it even easier to install.  It is an isometric locking mechanism that hinges without stress on the long sides of the boards and taps together on the end joints.  It is a revolutionary idea that is allowing homeowners to get a professionally installed look on their own.

Ease of Installation

The number one question most customers have is..Can I REALLY install this myself?  How easy is it in REALLY? You simply put the tongue into the groove at a slight angle and let the laminate release to the floor. The end joint is locked by using a tapping block and hammer, tapping it to the locked position.

Thickness

All of my Kronoswiss laminates are 7, 8, 10 or 12 mm thick. 

Surface Texture = Realism

Are you tired of looking at laminate flooring that has no texture and looks more like a piece of flat plastic or Kmart furniture?

The surface texture of all our Kronoswiss floors appear as real wood.  You can see and feel the nice rolling texture. This product cleans with just a damp cloth and nothing will stick in the textured areas as it will with vinyl.

Wear Layer. An Incredible AC3!!!!

All Kronoswiss laminate we sell carries an AC3 wear layer rating, meaning you can use this in a heavy commercial setting, if you wish.  Just imagine how long it will last in your home!  It is 60% more durable than many other brands.

Looks and feels like hardwood

What does the Kronoswiss Crystal Clic have that other laminates do not?

1. New Isometric Locking System
2. Ease of installation
3. Heavier textures that look and feel like real wood
4. A sound deadening material sprayed on the back makes it sound like hardwood.
5. AC3 Wear Layer that is rated for heavy commercial use.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
The ground rules for laying   laminate flooring:

A fine product such as this needs a proper base – every do-it-yourself floor layer knows that.  

Prior to laying, Kronoswiss laminate floors should be stored in the room horizontally for at  least 48 hours at room temperature in the unopened pack. Before, during and at least three  days after laying, the following room air conditions must be guaranteed: Floor surface: min.  15 °C Air temperature: min. 18 °C Humidity: 50 – 75%  

For cosmetic reasons Kronoswiss laminate floors should always be laid lengthwise in relation  to the main source of light. Calculations should be made prior to laying as to the width of the  last row of panel. Should it be narrower than 5 cm it will be necessary to cut the first panel lengthwise before starting.

Kronoswiss laminate floor should always be floating, i.e., the underneath of the panels  should not be stuck, nailed or fixed in any other way. After laying, skirting boards should be  affixed to the wall, not to the floor!

Please adhere strictly to the instructions for laying, as claims for compensation cannot be  accepted in the event of improper use. Should problems arise when laying the floor, the  work should be stopped immediately and the specialist retailer consulted.
