Sharpen Launches Trendy New Flooring Products

Sharpen, a specialist in imported building materials, has launched a new lineup of trendy flooring products. The newly unveiled lineup comprises five products: ▲TENACITY, ▲NOVOCORE Q, ▲LVT, ▲SPC, and ▲ATROGUARD.

First, ‘TENACITY,’ often called ‘the flooring that saves the planet,’ is distinguished by an eco-friendly backing attached to its underside, with 550 PET bottles recycled to produce the backing for every 50㎡ of product. In particular, ‘TENACITY’ requires no molding for installations of up to 1,000㎡, making it even more convenient to apply in large spaces. The flooring’s main material is stone, giving it outstanding durability and strong resistance to water and scratches. With its eco-friendliness, sturdiness, and the feel of solid hardwood flooring, ‘TENACITY’ is already receiving a favorable response from consumers and has been installed in model house units.

‘NOVOCORE Q’ is a flooring product that offers a great alternative for apartments and villas that suffer from inter-floor noise. ‘NOVOCORE Q’ delivers a soundproofing effect of 22 decibels (dB), with a central sound-absorbing layer and a cork layer on the underside maximizing the soundproofing effect. ‘LVT,’ short for ‘Luxury Vinyl Tile,’ is a flooring product built for heavy foot traffic with a reinforced surface coating. The LVT offered by Sharpen is a product from MEIJER, Europe’s No. 1 market-share company, and is a GREENGUARD-certified eco-friendly material. ‘LVT’ comes in a series of about 20 varieties for a wide range of designs, and its domestic installations include E-Mart, the Daegu Marriott Hotel, the Industrial Bank of Korea, and Toys“R”Us. ‘SPC,’ short for ‘Stone Plastic Composite,’ is a stone-based flooring product that has recently drawn considerable attention. Its advantages include heating efficiency roughly three times higher than conventional laminate flooring, along with a hard, sturdy composition that resists scratches. ‘SPC’ is a GREENGUARD Gold-certified eco-friendly product that can be used with peace of mind even in homes with children, and it broadens the range of choices with not only wood grains but also a variety of patterns. ‘SPC’ drew attention after being applied to all units at Konjiam Resort.

‘ATROGUARD’ is currently Sharpen’s most popular product line, being installed at a wide range of sites thanks to its luxurious appearance akin to solid hardwood flooring combined with a rich array of functions. In particular, ‘ATROGUARD’ offers the beauty of solid hardwood flooring while easing cleaning concerns: it can be cleaned not only with a wet mop but also with steam, and its excellent stain resistance makes maintenance easier than with ordinary solid hardwood flooring. In addition, it requires no T-molding for installations of up to 400㎡, allowing installation even in large spaces, and its installations include Nine One Hannam, the Acro Forest community, the Sheraton Hotel, the Four Points Hotel, and the Goldmund store.

Meanwhile, visitors to the Sharpen showroom in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, can see and experience the new products as well as a wide variety of flooring firsthand. 02-542-0111
