Pedestra Hidden Interlocking Studded Vinyl Floor Tiles South Africa


	DURABLE FLOORS FOR ALL APPLICATIONS Tuff Floors Limited has developed the PEDESTRA™ flooring system with the main purpose of addressing some of the flooring industries' most common problems. PEDESTRA™ provides quick and easy flooring installations for a vast range of domestic and commercial applications.
SIMPLICITY WITH DURABILITY The secret to the PEDESTRA™ flooring range lies in the unique, Tuff-Seal* design - version 1. This patented interlocking design features a unique hidden joining and sealing method. The Tuff-Seal* joining system enables you to lay the tiles quickly and easily on any firm, flat surface, using only a mallet, trimming knife and common installation tools.

When installed, the flooring has a stylish uniform appearance with little visible joining. For light traffic areas, the tiles can be laid without adhesives. In heavier traffic areas, the tiles can either be glued together, or glued to the sub-floor (please refer to installation instructions). In addition, this floor covering offers an efficient water-resistant surface. * RSA Patent No. 98/11820
