Finesse Floor Ascent Collection delivers best-in-industry performance in durability, stability and longevity. Unlike the press and glue method used in typical vinyl floating floors, the Ascent line is manufactured using a patented high-temperature melding process yielding a 7-layer, homogenous Rigid Core Board (RCB) which is guaranteed never to cup, curl or delaminate. The Ascent Collection is 100% waterproof and has an integrated sound underlayment. It has 5 times the click connection strength and a density 100% higher than comparable products. These features allow the Finesse Floor Ascent Collection to be installed in new construction or in renovations, applying directly over existing tile or wood floors. The Ascent collection is ideal for residential and commercial floor applications.
