SelecTech, Inc., launched its newest flooring product, EcoLock. Made with bio-based polymers and natural minerals, EcoLock is a sustainable, modular resilient floor tile that uses patented vertical interlocking seam technology and is appropriate for commercial and residential use.

EcoLock employs a three-layer system. The top features a no wax urethane finish, the second a clear commercial wear layer and the third a decorative print film layer. This system makes it possible to have a stylishly designed floor that can absorb wear and tear and doesn’t require heavy duty maintenance.

“What truly distinguishes the EcoLock tile is the non-PVC underlayment with interlocking tabs,” said Thomas Ricciardelli, president of president of SelecTech, Inc. “With the non-PVC underlayment, you get the same or better performance than other applications but with reasonable material costs and similar or better designs.”

Through use of the patented glue-less “zipper” interlocking system, EcoLock can be installed over existing flooring with minimal subfloor preparation. There’s no need for messy, toxic adhesive and down-time is significantly reduced—oftentimes without need to close off an area. 

The non-porous surface resists stains and infectious organisms, while the built-in underlayment delivers underfoot comfort and sound reduction. Made from 80 percent rapidly renewable content, EcoLock contains no PVC, Ortho Phthalates, chlorine, formaldehyde or halogens and adds excellent value to a LEED scorecard. EcoLock is available in a variety of colors and designs. Custom colors are also available on request.
