This style offers the unique experience of incorporating light, rustic colors with the brown, forestry feel that Almond brings. This combination makes Almond perfect for a variety of different areas, including accenting a wall in your kitchen, matching the walls in the kitchen with the aesthetic of the rest of the room, and complementing standout furniture pieces in your sitting room. Almond beautifully brings the color of the forest into your home or establishment.
Pre-Glued Factory Applied Adhesive:
- VacuuBond® is a patented installation method for all hard surface floors and wallcoverings.
- The impact of this innovative method on the flooring industry could be as significant as the previous developments of UV finishes, imitations of hardwood flooring like laminate, LVT, WPC, and the click profile.
- VacuuBond® Adhesive is specially formulated for the VacuuBond® installation method
Factory-applied adhesive is applied in groups of parallel strings, with air spaces between each string of adhesive. When pressure is applied by walking on the floor (or J-roller for wall installs) the air between the glue strings is forced out, and a soft (suction) is created when the pressure is relieved.
