ALTERNATIVE FLOORCOVERINGS.

Bonar Floors Ltd. is the manufacturer of NeoFloor[TM] a new product developed by Lees as an alternative to hard-surface flooring. NeoFloor is a flooring solution that combines the advantages of carpet with the ease-of-maintenance of hard surfaces. NeoFloor, a resilient textile product offered in 6-foot widths, is the solution for facilities that require the practicality, durability and maintenance characteristics of hard-surface floorcoverings, but prefer the warmth and comfort of textile floorcovering. Very short fibers form a velvet-like surface on a textile substrate. Impervious to moisture and completely waterproof, NeoFloor's backing system consists of five layers: an ultra-dense cut pile decorative layer; a vinyl moisture barrier precoated with an antimicrobial treatment; a reinforced fiberglass scrim to ensure dimensional stability; a vinyl closed-cell, cushioned moisture-barrier backing; and a vinyl adhesive to protect subfloor and prevent delamination. The comfortable cushioning and impact-dampening system enhances overall comfort by reducing back and leg strain, and absorbs sound for a quieter environment. In addition, the backing protects against spills since liquid is unable to penetrate the closed-cell system.
