EcoDense PVC-Free Flooring in Edmonton

Waterproof where it counts. EcoDense uses SpillResist technology, which Primco says stops water getting between the planks for up to 100 hours. Everyday spills stay on top, away from the subfloor. That's why it's rated for wet areas, including kitchens and bathrooms.

Tough and steady. The high-density core is designed to balance strength and flexibility for strong resistance to dents. Primco also says it resists scratches and fading from sunlight, and calls it a heat-resistant alternative to traditional vinyl. That's handy beside big south-facing windows.

Quieter and more comfortable. Each plank is 9 mm in total: a 7 mm waterproof core plus a 2 mm attached acoustic pad. That pad takes the hollow edge off footsteps, which makes a difference in condos and upstairs rooms.

Primco points out that people spend up to 90% of their time indoors, so what your floor is made of affects the air you breathe. EcoDense is 100% PVC-free, and Primco says it uses over 90% sustainable or renewable materials. It's made in North America from primarily U.S.-sourced materials.

If someone in your home has sensitivities, or you're simply trying to build with fewer chemicals, this is the floor we'll put in front of you first.

The planks are generous: 9.5 inches wide by 51 inches long, so a room reads calm with fewer seams. The finish is ultra-low gloss and textured with an embossed surface, a modern matte look. Primco's current swatches are Corsica, Sligo, Limestone, Knox, Fisher, Toby and Millstone.

Primco pitches EcoDense as combining current design trends and popular colour tones with a durable ultra-matte finish, so it doesn't look like a compromise made for practical reasons. It is also built to install easily, which keeps the job on schedule. For warranty coverage, see the manufacturer's warranty, which Primco publishes on its EcoDense page.

• Kitchens and bathrooms, where water is a daily fact.

• Basements, over a properly prepared slab.

• Homes with kids and pets, which Primco specifically designed it for.

• Bright rooms, thanks to its fade and heat resistance.

As with every floor we install, we inspect and prepare the subfloor first. A rigid plank only performs as well as the base underneath it.
