Durable laminate for a carefree home

The new CASA collection from CLASSEN is being expanded

Baruth / Kaisersesch. Under the motto "Your Home. Your CASA." the CLASSEN Group presented its new CASA laminate collection at the beginning of the summer. The focus of the development was on the versatile resilience of the floor covering for carefree living in modern households. CASA is now being expanded with a new collection. Classico comprises a total of six new decors. The special feature: CLASSEN is launching the first 7 mm laminate flooring with a water-resistant installation system on the market.

Save energy with “CASA-Classico”

Saving energy will be more important than ever this winter, as 70% of the total energy consumed by private households is used for heating on average. It therefore makes sense to recognize and exploit potential savings. For example, choosing the right flooring can also help to save energy. For this reason, CLASSEN has tested the new CASA collection in the laboratory for thermal resistance and thermal conductivity. The lower the thermal resistance, the better the heat penetrates the floor and the faster the room heats up. This is particularly relevant for households with underfloor heating. The thermal conductivity provides information on how quickly body heat is transferred to the floor. A nice side effect: the lower the thermal conductivity of a floor covering, the longer your feet stay warm. The result: the thermal resistance of the 7 mm thick CASA laminate flooring is reduced by 45% compared to a 12 mm thick laminate flooring. The thermal conductivity of CASA is also significantly lower. CLASSEN therefore makes a decisive contribution to saving energy in households with underfloor heating. The climate also benefits, as the reduction to 7 mm not only saves energy, but also requires less wood in production.

At ease with wetness

Whether you splash, spill or shower at home, thanks to the patented megaloc-aqua-protect technology from CLASSEN, the CASA laminate will not suffer. The planks are water-resistant, even suitable for the bathroom and protected against water penetration at the joints. For a period of 24 hours, no water penetrates downwards through the bevel of the edge profiles, so that the risk of swelling of the edges is greatly reduced and the floor is protected from below. This means you don't have to worry about damp mopping or coming home with wet wellington boots.

This is demonstrated by the excellent results in the standard test procedure according to NALFA (North American Laminate Flooring Association). The test examines how the laminate planks behave when installed and their surface is exposed to standing water for 24 hours. The results show that CASA more than fulfills the NALFA requirement. In the tests, the surfaces of the CASA laminate also show swelling behavior of the best possible rating class 1, meaning that the CLASSEN product performs significantly better than water-resistant laminate flooring from competitors. The megaloc-aqua-protect profile also ensures that the planks are quick and easy to lay.
