The new joint reduces the risk of a squeaky floor to a minimum. The system features a new floorboard front lock design, which utilizes a special tongue made of composite materials. The design works so well that you do not need a hammer and tapping block. And since no adhesive is used, the risk of contamination during installation is eliminated. Barlinek floorboards are covered with as many as seven layers of UV hardened varnish, which forms a very good protection against wear and tear, scratches and other damage.

Almost in anticipation of impending completion from global players, BVG has signed up a MoU with Barlinek.

Announcing the tie-up, Vishal Goyal, Managing Director of BVG said in New Delhi, “Our attempt to broaden the consumer base of wooden Flooring by spreading to Tier Two cities in India shall get a fillip through this tie-up with Barlinek. India is replete with poor quality import of laminated flooring. Consumers are yet not aware of the difference between pure wood and laminate flooring. Hopefully the Barlinek brand and Polish quality shall bring about a difference in consumer choice for wooden flooring in India.”
