Company Introduces New Flooring For Aviation Applications
CenturyAVX solid vinyl
floor tile is the latest product from Flooring Adventures. Designed
specifically for use in commercial, general and civil aviation
applications and facilities, it contains a hidden Tuff-Seal
interlock system and is backed by a five-year warranty. For most
applications, no adhesive, special tools or installation expertise
are needed.
CenturyAVX flooring can be used in virtually any aviation
facility or application, including kit aircraft builders, hangers
and terminals, basements and below-grade areas, workshops, safety
and security areas, baggage claim, concourses, passenger bridges,
emergency, ground support and maintenance, repair and overhaul
(MRO) areas.
CenturyAVX stays in place and does not shift even under heavy
point loads. It can be used for wayfinding and to brighten cold and
uninviting hangers and other areas, such as those used by visitors,
customers and employees. CenturyAVX’s cushioned feel has been
shown to improve productivity and comfort, while reducing noise and
dust.
Requiring minimal floor
prep, CenturyAVX is easily installed over any flat, clean,
structurally sound surface, including contaminated,
moisture-problem or uncured concrete sub floors. Since no solvents,
sealers or adhesives are used, the tiles can be installed in
VOC-sensitive or restricted areas. Once in place, AVX’s
hidden Tuff-Seal® interlocking edges form straight, precise
seams and a uniform watertight surface ready for immediate traffic
and loads of up to 500 p.s.i. With proper instruction, the tiles
can be quickly and easily removed and re-laid in other areas as
needed or moved to other sites in the case of rental
facilities.
CenturyAVX tiles are 18” x 18” (450 mm x 450 mm),
1/4” (6.5 mm) thick, weigh 3.7 pounds (1.67 kg) and are
available in two versions: CenturyAVX-r is made of premium-grade
100% post-industrial recycled PVC and is available in a round
studded pattern in matte-finish black. CenturyAVX-p is made of
virgin PVC and is available in seven colors.
Tested and resistant to most fluids and other materials used in
aviation, all CenturyAVX tiles are impact, fire, chemical and
stain-resistant. Hydraulic fluid, solder and epoxy adhesive do not
affect CenturyAVX tiles if quickly removed, but if damaged, the
tiles can be easily replaced. CenturyAVX 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 CenturyAVX tiles are generally not adhered to the
subfloor, their cost may be fully deductible in the first year.
