Matrix 70 is IVC’s innovative loose-lay vinyl planks and tiles concept that brings easy fitting, simple removal and a host of everyday performance advantages.
Using the manufacturer’s expertise in vinyl floor production, Matrix blends the best of LVT and heterogeneous vinyl technologies for a loose-lay floor that delivers impressive benefits in any commercial environment. Ideal for refurbishment, due to the minimal downtime required and adhesive-free installation, Matrix 70’s 5mm height blends seamlessly to carpet tiles, eliminating unsightly transition strips for a cleaner aesthetic and making it easy to repurpose spaces and change layouts.
Matrix 70 comes with a 0.70mm wear layer, ensuring it delivers Class 34 Very Heavy Commercial levels of wear-resistance for high-traffic locations. Alongside IVC’s proprietary Hyperguard PUR for a surface that’s easy to clean under normal regimes and more resistant to marks, it’s a fearsome combination that is well-suited to almost any commercial location. Stabilising glass fibre layers and a unique anti-skid backing keep the planks or tiles locked tight, so that Matrix 70 can be used with confidence, even under light wheeled traffic such as trolleys.
“Matrix 70 demonstrates how we can combine technologies to produce new and unique solutions that can solve the challenges faced in today’s commercial environments,” says David Bigland, managing director, IVC Group UK. “Our R&D team has worked to blend the plank and tile concept of LVT together with the ease of loose-lay vinyl sheet flooring to create a product that stands in a category of its own.
“Bringing the sophisticated aesthetics loved in commercial office and retail with the functionality demanded by intense-use locations, Matrix 70’s appeal is not just in its easy installation and uplift, but in its everyday performance and authentic looks. It is a product that demonstrates the attention that we place in developing unique flooring solutions to overcome a myriad of challenges.
“I particularly love the idea of Matrix 70 being used to bring genuine adaptability to floors – particularly useful in tenant occupied spaces – where tiles or planks can simply be lifted, moved and placed to create a fresh new layout in a matter of hours. Matrix 70 makes this level of flexibility genuinely achievable and I can’t wait to see how designers make full use of its potential.”
Matrix 70 has been launched in 16 wood and tile designs each with a textured surface and a four-sided bevel that up authenticity another notch. Offering a natural looking floor packed full of technical advantages – Matrix 70 is waterproof, scratch and stain-resistant, and anti-slip – this new technology from IVC is breaking new ground in functionality and purpose.
