ALULOC

The ALULOC locking system, in durable aluminium, provides a solid, sealed floor surface that copes easily with heavy traffic, and can tolerate loads of up to 1200 kg per linear metre, making this high pressure flooring the strongest on the market.

The aluminium assembly system makes the high pressure floor covering quick and easy to install, needing no special tools. A smooth, secure click-locking system, even on large format sheets. Attractive benefits for all kinds of projects, whether public areas or private homes. This technology is available for the Stone and Grand Avenue Collections.

Best Loc® X-Treme

Installation is even easier, simpler and faster (up to 30% faster compared to Best Loc®). The planks are installed one after another, by simply folding them into place. No tools or glue needed.

Decor

PEFC™ Certification

PEFC is the world's largest forest certification system. Choosing a BerryAlloc® floor is also making a responsible choice, for a company that cares about its product, and is as attentive to the environment as to your lifestyle. For BerryAlloc, species selection is crucial: the woods come exclusively from sustainably managed forests. This management involves traceability and rigorous monitoring at every stage of production and marketing.
