i4F, a group of companies providing patents and technologies to the flooring industry, has announced that it has introduced a new, patented drop-lock system specifically designed for an easier installation of herringbone panels. The new system greatly facilitates the fitting of a herringbone panel’s short side into the long side of an adjacent herringbone panel. Disassembly is also significantly easier which, in turn, facilitates any necessary replacements.
The new i4F herringbone drop-lock system eases installation without compromising on the high locking strength and performance characterised by i4F drop-lock technologies.
This is the latest addition to i4F’s drop-lock technologies portfolio offering manufacturers the world’s most ingenious installation systems, tailored per product category and suitable for use on all materials.
i4F’s CEO, John Rietveldt, said: “Due to the more complicated nature of the installation, the placement or repair of herringbone patterns have traditionally almost been exclusively reserved for professionals. Our new purpose-built herringbone drop-lock system makes it possible for more end-users to do it themselves, by making installation, disassembly and replacements very similar to more conventional flooring installation techniques.”
