Description

Kopine Ultralock™ 12 and Kopine Tongue & Groove12 flooring systems are high-density reconstituted wood panels manufactured by bonding radiata pine wood particles with a melamine urea formaldehyde resin using a combination of heat and pressure. The supplied glue bonds the panels together, to form a continuous flooring membrane and provides a seal against moisture, reducing any potential for edge peaking. 

Kopine Ultralock™12 and Kopine Tongue & Groove12 flooring systems are suitable for use as flooring and can provide floor diaphragm action.
