Soft-Surface or hard-Surface? Get the Best of Both Worlds with Kinetex!
What is Kinetex®?
Kinetex® is an advanced textile composite flooring that combines key attributes of soft-surface floor covering with the long-wearing performance characteristics of hard-surface flooring. Created as a unique floor covering alternative to hard-surface products, J+J Flooring’s Kinetex encompasses an unprecedented range of performance attributes for retail, healthcare, education and institutional environments. In addition to its humancentered qualities and highly functional design, Kinetex offers a reduced environmental footprint compared to traditional hard-surface options.
There’s a lot to love.
The Maintenance of Kinetex is simple and more cost efficient compared to that of hard-surface flooring. Kinetex is cleaned using the same vacuum cleaners and hot water extraction equipment used to clean carpets. The schedules and cleaning supplies for preventative, daily, interim and restorative maintenance are similar to that of carpet, but dries 75% faster than carpet, rendering it suitable for cleaning while occupied.
Kinetex textile composite flooring is highly moisture tolerant and can perform in elevated RH slabs up to 100%! This is possible due to its highly breathable material design.
Kinetex offers one of the highest Noise Reduction Coefficients and Impact Insulation Classifications of any commercial flooring product. Historically commercial carpet was the only flooring type that could effectively manage in-room noise as well as impact noise. Kinetex has a higher noise reduction coefficient (NRC) than both commercial carpet and hard surface flooring products.
Its innovative construction creates one of the most slip-resistant flooring surfaces ever tested— wet or dry—to prevent falls before they happen. Kinetex is the only wall-to-wall textile floor covering certified as High-Traction by the National Floor Safety Institute. Its innovative construction creates one of the most slip-resistant flooring surfaces ever tested – wet or dry – to prevent falls before they happen. It also has very low rolling resistance, reducing the risk of injuries due to pushing or pulling heavy rolling loads.
