5G-W by Välinge Innovation

With 5G-W, Välinge Innovation have developed an entirely new take on the 5G locking system using a unique side push technology. Side push technology allows instant installation adjustments. When a panel is folded down, there are no separation forces. The panels are not automatically locked during folding. Locking is secured by the installation of the next row, pushing and displacing the tongue into locked position.

2016 will be remembered as a year of mounting uncertainty. As if the Brexit result wasn't enough of a headache for global markets to nurse. They now have the election of Donald Trump as leader of the free world to factor into their calculus. We find ourselves increasingly divided.

We would like to thank ChinaLink for allowing us to use their informative video promoting their independent floor testing services. It certainly gives some insight into the punishing tests that all our floors are subjected to.

Floor Testing

Floorsave has taken the unprecedented step of commissioning independent laboratory tests of its imported flooring products. Floor testing is key to ensuring our products are of a consistently high quality. In addition to this, independent testing also confirms that our manufacturers adhere to best practices and industry standards. China Link Group provide independent laboratory testing services for a range of building materials but, notably, they specialise in testing flooring.
