Mannington Wood Floors - LOCnGO (glueless floating floor)

Earler in 2007, Mannington Wood Floors introduced a glueless floating engineered hardwood floor collection called CASPIAN with LOCnGO. This new wood floor series is somewhat unique in that not many hardwood flooring manufacturers offer a glueless locking system in real hardwood floors. Glueless locking systems are the norm in laminate floors but not in hardwood floors, or least at this time. Only an engineered wood construction type of product could have a glueless locking system and be floated over a variety of substrates. Since glueless, floating laminate floors have been around for quite a while it is no surprise to see the glueless, click installation system making it's way into hardwood floors as well.

The Caspian series has a beautiful urethane finish and comes in several different wood species and colors. The LOCnGO installation system makes it ideal for those consumers looking for a real hardwood floor that is also easy to install. No glue or staple guns required and these floors can be floated over a veriety of subfloors allowing Caspian to be used in areas of the home that solid wood floors are not recommended for.
