VISIOGRANDE BECOMES
WATER RESISTANT IN 2022
MAKING GOOD THINGS EVEN BETTER
In addition to four new exciting designs,
CLASSEN increases the everyday suitability
of the proven Visiogrande collection. Thanks
to the Megaloc Aqua Protect fast installation
system, the laminate tile is now perfectly
protected against water.
PROTECTION FOR DAILY LIVING:
MEGALOC AQUA PROTECT
Thanks to the patented Megaloc Aqua Protect
technology, the Visiogrande laminate tiles are
water-resistant, suitable for wet rooms and even
better protected against water penetration at
the joints. For a period of 24 hours, no water
penetrates down through the bevel of the edge
profiles. This means that Visiogrande can easily
withstand frequent exposure to cleaning or
splashing water and the risk that edges will swell
is greatly reduced. The subfloor is also protected
in this way.
This is demonstrated by the excellent results
in the standard test procedure according to
NALFA (North American Laminate Flooring
Association). CLASSEN carries out these tests
continuously in its own laboratory and also
regularly commissions external test laboratories
for this purpose. The tests examine how the
laminate tiles behave when installed, with the
surface exposed to standing water for 24 hours.
The results show that Visiogrande exceeds the
NALFA requirement.
In the tests, the surfaces also show a swelling
behaviour of the best possible rating class 1.
Visiogrande thus performs significantly better
than water-resistant laminate flooring from
competitors. Moreover, the Megaloc Aqua
Protect profile not only ensures a fast and easy
installation of the tiles, there is also love in the
detail: the bevelled edges of the joints on the
surface are matched in colour to the decor
pattern.
