Practical Benefits
-
Water Resistance: The planks are finished with a water-repellent coating. This makes the floor suitable for use in kitchens and bathrooms, as the surface can withstand spills and moisture for up to 24 hours.
-
Surface Protection: A hardened top layer provides a high level of resistance against scratches, scuffs, and stains. This is particularly useful for households with pets or areas with heavy foot traffic.
-
Simple Fitting: The boards use a click-lock system, allowing them to be snapped together without the use of glue or specialist adhesives.
-
Underfloor Heating: This flooring is compatible with standard low-temperature underfloor heating systems, provided the correct underlay is used.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Eligna and the Classic range? The main difference is the edge detail. Most Classic floors have bevels (grooves) between the planks, whereas Eligna planks have square edges. This means Eligna creates a smooth, flush surface with no visible gaps between the boards.
How should I maintain my Eligna floor? Regular sweeping or vacuuming with a soft brush head is recommended to remove grit. For mopping, use a damp microfibre cloth. Because the floor is water-resistant, it can handle a moist mop, but you should avoid leaving puddles of water on the surface for long periods.
Can this flooring be installed over existing carpet? No, all carpet and underlay must be removed before fitting. The floor requires a solid, level subfloor and a specific laminate underlay to ensure the click joints remain stable and the floor does not bounce.
Is Eligna suitable for commercial use? Eligna has a Class 32 rating, which means it is designed for all residential areas and can also be used in light commercial environments, such as small offices or hotel rooms.
