Dear Valued Dealers & Flooring Friends
NOT ALL RIGID CORE CLIC products are created equallyDO NOT BE DECEIVED BY THE WORDS RIGID CORE because while it is the new standard in
LVT vinyl planks, you need to understand the differences.
Gardner Industries prides ourselves on bringing you the latest technology with the best price and performance value so you can sell confidently and profitably.
WE ARE NOW PROUD TO INTRODUCE
SPECTRUM RIGID CORE HOME:THE PERFECT PRICE POINT AND BEST VALUE AVAILABLE
TODAY IN RIGID CORE FLOATING CLIC LVT!!!WE DARE YOU TO COMPARE!!
The current benchmark standard in rigid core construction is SPC, which stands for Stone Plastic Composite. WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) and PVC LVT (PVC Luxury Vinyl Tile) may also be made in rigid core constructions, but not only is SPC Rigid Core better by virtue of its construction, it's FAR superior to all other WPC & LVT options and more importantly, it’s the current lowest cost product to manufacture, which
means a lower price/value for you!!!!I hope our chart below sheds some light on the huge differences.
PLEASE CONTACT YOUR ACCOUNT MANAGER OR OUR OFFICE TO LEARN MORE!!!
