New aviation flooring line announced by FA

Flooring Adventures today introduced its Tuff-Seal Aviation Flooring line at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2005 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

Designed for use by aircraft owners and aircraft homebuilders in hangers, workshops, basements, garages and other areas, Tuff-Seal interlocking tiles utilize a patented, hidden interlock system to create a secure, watertight and virtually seamless flooring surface. The tiles reduce noise, insulate subfloors, reduce dust and humidity, and are more comfortable to stand and work on.

Tuff-Seal tiles will not break, crack, deflect, loosen or shift even under heavy loads, do not require frequent repair or replacement, yet can be easily removed and re-laid in other areas. Tuff-Seal has a lower life-cycle cost than such flooring alternatives as epoxy coatings and rigid plastic tiles.Flexible Tuff-Seal is easily installed over existing or uneven floors, cracks and stains with an overlap-and-tap process that needs no adhesive or subfloor prep. Once in place, it is watertight and will not support mold and mildew. Backed by a five-year warranty, Tuff-Seal resists aviation fluids, abrasion, indentations, fire and water. It meets ADA slip-resistance recommendations and ASTM specifications for F-1700 solid vinyl tile, is 100% recyclable, easy to maintain and helps meet LEED criteria. Since Tuff-Seal tiles are generally not adhered to the subfloor, their cost may be fully deductible in the first year.
