[November 16, 2016 — Mississauga, ON] Loxcreen Flooring Group’s professional distribution channel has taken on a new product line from its parent company, M-D Building Products, and recently launched their distributors all over North America. CINCH™ by M-D Building Products is a well-known brand within the retail distribution channel and was established to describe the simplicity of installation on many of M-D’s weather-strip and floor transition products that utilize the 3M™ VHB™ adhesive technology.
M-D partnered with 3M™ in 2012 to collaborate on ways to utilize each other’s strengths. In this case, M-D chose to use the 3M™ VHB™ adhesive technology on floor transitions and create an innovative product that is simple to use, provides great value to the end user and complements all of today’s most popular and economical flooring surfaces.
Loxcreen introduced four new profiles (stair edge, t-mold, seam cover and reducer) in four complementary colors that all carry the 3M™ VHB™ high-strength self-adhesive tape on the back side. These transitions can be used with LVT/LVP, laminate and carpet with no need for fasteners; this can be a great benefit especially when working over concrete substrates.
“Loxcreen’s pro division decided to introduce this line to distributors to offer them an opportunity to sell down to their retailers along with a merchandiser assortment program,” said Julia Vozza, marketing manager of the professional distribution channel. “It is a neat product, there is nothing else like it out there in the trim and molding market, and it is a line that can be a benefit to all who sell and use it.”
The 3M™ VHB™ tapes are made with acrylic foam which is viscoelastic in nature. This gives the foam energy absorbing and stress relaxing properties which provides these tapes with their unique characteristics. The acrylic chemistry provides outstanding durability performance.
