Prevent Water from Penetrating Floor Seams with Välinge Innovation's 5G Dry

Välinge Innovation's 5G Dry is an innovative flooring fold-down installation system that provides enhanced water resistance by preventing water from penetrating into the seams of the floor panels.

With greater protection to withstand the mess of everyday chaos such as spills, this innovation makes floors both incredibly easy to install and to live with.

The NALFA 48 hours test (24 hours with water pillar and 24 hours recovery) is commonly used in order to assess the water behavior of floor installations. In wood-based floorings, 5G Dry contributes to significantly lower edge swelling thereby ensuring that the floor both looks and feels better despite being subjected to wet mopping, accidents, and other events from everyday use.
