LION Floor, described as ‘the sustainable and cost-effective engineered board for the installation of resilient floors’, is a gold winner at the Flooring Innovation Awards.

Says the company: ‘LION Floor, the first engineered fibreboard solely made for the needs of resilient installations, has been judged by an independent panel as one of the flooring innovations of the year. Securing the topflight gold award in the installation products category at the Flooring Innovation Awards, LION Floor has underlined its growing reputation as the best alternative to BS compliant plywood.’

Peter Jones of Finnish Fibreboard, says: ‘We’re delighted to pick up this award for LION Floor. Engineered in Finland using sustainable and locally sourced wood by-products to be a high-quality and reliable base for LVT and sheet vinyl installations to British Standards, it’s the first fibreboard solely designed for floors.

‘As such, LION Floor has enjoyed a fantastic year and has quickly become the ‘go to’ installation board for installers wanting to deliver first-class finishes. Without the reliability issues that can affect plywood, cost-effective and more sustainable, there’s little reason not to give it a try. This gold award from the independent judges of the Flooring Innovation Awards is just one more reason to make the switch.’

The company concludes: ‘LION Floor’s engineered board is pre-conditioned, so unlike other oil tempered hardboard it doesn’t need wetting before installation and is ready to receive screeds and feather compounds. Simple to cut with a knife or saw and installed in the same way as plywood but eliminating core gaps and overlaps, it’s a fast and effective way to deliver a first-class resilient floor installation.’
