I4F, a group of companies providing patents and technologies to the flooring industry, announced that Zhejiang Gimig Technology Co. Ltd. (GIMIG) has signed a license agreement for i4F’s CeraGrout technology. GIMIG is introducing the technology onto its SPC manufacturing lines. CeraGrout is exclusively available via an i4F surface finishing license agreement, and complements GIMIG’s other i4F license agreement for drop-lock floor installation technologies.

GIMIG is a specialty manufacturer of SPC flooring and part of the Giant Group, which has a seventy-year heritage in manufacturing.  GIMIG products, manufactured from its state-of-the-art facility, located in Nanxun, China and soon in Chonburi, Thailand, are sold across North America, Europe, and Asia.

I4F’s CeraGrout technology delivers highly realistic and beautifully integrated grout lines for floating flooring and wall panels that imitate perfectly traditional ceramics while delivering easier installation and cleaning. I4F CeraGrout panels and tiles feature integrated grout lines, available in any color, that are durable and easier to clean. For increased safety and comfort while walking on tiles, grout lines feature a smooth connection, facilitating a seamless, flowing joint between the planks. 

I4F CeraGrout technology also enables the milling of an additional grout line in the middle of a tile or panel, mimicking two pieces on a single panel. This greatly facilitates the creation of staggered patterns and cuts installation time in half.
