Unilin Technologies introduces its patented Pressed Bevel Technology for resilient flooring to its continuously growing licensing base. With this technology, the edges of a resilient flooring panel are pressed downwards into a bevel, making sure the decor layer and texture of the board continue until the deepest point of the bevel. This unique technology, on which Unilin Technologies already started filing patents more than 10 years ago,  enhances the appearance of resilient flooring to be even closer to real wood than ever before.

Robert Schneider, General Manager (Sales & Marketing) of the Swiss Krono Factory in Heiligengrabe, added: "We are increasing our offer of water-resistant flooring ranges with a huge focus on what end-consumers are looking for in a floor today. That's why we wanted to change to a floor that can offer extra durability, is waterproof and easy to install. The Unidrop locking helps us to commit to our sustainability targets while also increasing customer satisfaction ."

“Our goal is to provide a solution that is sustainable, efficient in manufacturing, and exceptional in performance”, Floris Koopmans, Sales Director IP at Unilin Technologies. “The Unidrop system achieves all of this, offering a robust locking mechanism and a seamless installation process for end-users.
