Application

Suitable for commercial applications with a magnetically receptive raised access floor.

Description

Magnitude combines a high-quality tongue and groove Stability products with a high strength magnetic film. The amalgamation of the T&G and the magnetic film creates a powerful two-dimensional hold vertically and horizontally to a magnetically receptive raised access floor (RAF). The ability to produce any colour, texture or dimension bespoke wood floor, has led to over 65% of the floors produced to be ‘one-off’ commissions. By enquiry the plank, herringbone and chevron flooring can be produced with the Magnitude system forming a strong, yet reversible connection.

 

The result, a magnetic sustainable wood floor that contributes towards sustainability assessment certifications, such as BREEAM, SKA and LEED, by earning credits for material reuse.


Improved circularity - Flooring can be easily reused, avoiding additional embodied carbon.


Designed for disassembly - Magnetic flooring maximises economic value and minimises environmental impacts through reuse, repair, remanufacture and recycling.


Asset protection- The subfloor remains undamaged, eliminating costly remedial or replacement work and reduced dilapidation costs.


STRONG, YET REVERSIBLE HOLD

• Powerful two-dimensional hold.

• Tongue-and-groove mechanism locks planks together horizontally. A strong magnetic grip holds vertically to a magnetically receptive metal raised access floor.


SUSTAINABLE AND CIRCULAR – ADHESIVE FREE INSTALLATION

• Maximises economic value and minimises environmental impact.

• Wood flooring is sustainable and finishes are plant and water based.

• Easy to deconstruct, reuse, repurpose and recycle.

• Flooring can be reused, significantly reducing landfill waste and avoiding additional embedded carbon from new materials.

• No sub-floor contamination – no messy, expensive remediation work.

• The magnetic film is PVC, phthalate, plasticiser and VOC free.


IMPROVED HEALTH & WELLBEING

• VOC’s associated with wet adhesive installation methods are eliminated for improved Indoor Air Quality.

• Magnetic backing does not interfere with hearing loops, Wi-Fi or electronic devices.


FAST INSTALLATION

• Reduced labour time and cost – quick and clean to install and uplift.

• Minimal preparation required – no sealants, primers or plywood bases needed.

• The T&G planks require no additional pinning or fixing (providing installed to a level raised access floor).

• Reduced maintenance costs.

• Ease of access maintained.


DESIGN FLEXIBILITY

• 20 core products or choose from the bespoke range with 1000s of combinations of colours, textures, sizes and finishes available.

• Manufactured in the UK by WFA.
