Välinge brings an ultimate innovation: Liteback cutting-edge technology that makes resilient floors easier to handle, more sustainable and provides them with great acoustic properties. It’s an unrivalled solution for producing, transporting, storing, delivering, and installing modern resilient products.
It’s time to redefine resilient flooring
Liteback is an innovative technology that enhances resilient products like LVT, SPC, and WPC with consumer-friendly and sustainable features. Liteback optimises raw material usage, removing up to 20% of the product material without compromising quality or performance. The excess material can be recycled and reused, promoting efficiency and sustainability. This allows resilient products to be recognised as a high-quality, environmentally responsible flooring.
Features:
Lower environmental impact – Reduced emissions through material efficiency, lighter products and increased freight density.
Reduced noise levels – Up to 45% reduction of in-room walking sound and up to 60% improved insulation between floors.
High-quality opportunities – Thicker floors enable a premium installation system, making products more durable and easier to install.
Material resource efficiency – Greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase globally. Several continents are committed to reducing their emissions by as much as 50% by 2030. Both flooring producers and retailers can expect increasingly strict requirements to address these challenges.
Awareness and interest in environmental issues, sustainable products and production is growing rapidly among today’s – and tomorrow’s – consumers and many countries already have regulations and standards aimed at promoting resource efficiency in production. Liteback facilitates optimising your resilient products. By allowing for up to 20% less material usage, it provides the opportunity to recycle and reuse material in production. Moreover, it makes products lighter, leading to higher freight density and more efficient transportation, resulting in reduced costs and CO2 emissions.
Up to 25% more sqm in each container
Transporting resilient flooring is a heavy business — and it’s the weight that limits how much flooring a pallet, truck, or container can handle. Simply put, Liteback means more m2 per consignment — reducing both transportation costs and environmental impact
Up to 60% better sound insulation
Noise pollution is an increasingly important issue everywhere. There is a growing desire for calmer spaces and regulations on sound insulation in new buildings are becoming more common.
The unique grooves on the back of the floor panels can reduce impact sound caused by walking, scraping furniture legs and playing on the floor. Standardised tests show that with Liteback, the in-room walking sound can be reduced by up to 45%, while the insulation between floors can be improved by up to 60%.
The efficiency of Liteback’s sound-reducing properties depends on the material composition, build up and underlay. The potential reduction for a specific product can be verified through testing.
High-quality opportunities:
User-friendly experience
For a long time, the industry trend has been to make SPC products as thin as possible. This often resulted in lower quality and durability. Consequently, products are now becoming thicker with improved durability. However, heavier products are more difficult to handle and require more material.
With Liteback it is possible to produce robust panels with up to 20% less weight. Unlike other lightweight technologies, the unique grooves on back of the panel do not interfere with the locking system, ensuring it remains strong and robust. The unique grooves are customised to each product, and extensive testing ensure that the technology do not compromise quality or performance. Since Liteback enables all the benefits of a thicker floor, including the use of a high-quality installation system. This makes products easier to install and more durable, leading to increased customer satisfaction.
