Exclusive Canadian Distribution of Amorim's new Wicanders Series 100 Cork Plank with Micro Bevel

SHNIER, Canada's leading National Floor covering Solutions Company is pleased to announce exclusive Canadian distribution of Amorim's latest innovation, Wicanders Series 100 Cork Plank with Micro Bevel.

Cork Plank---a narrow board at 4 3/8 inches wide---is produced and packaged in the USA. This newest product in the Wicanders' cork family boasts 3 new decors each available in 4 of the most fashionable colours in flooring. Cork Plank is available in independent flooring retail stores across Canada.

Cork Plank is micro beveled on four sides, ushering in a new look for Wicanders Cork floors. For high-moisture environments like kitchens and entryways, a glueless joint sealant called Click Seal® can be applied to the tongue side of the planks during installation, offering a virtually waterproof flooring application.

Like the other members of the Wicanders' family, Cork Plank with Micro Bevel enjoys the many outstanding characteristics of cork such as being softer and quieter underfoot than most hard surfaces. Environmentally friendly, cork is a renewable and sustainable resource. Made of renewable raw material, cork absorbs CO2, reversing the effect of VOC emissions for healthier living.

"We are very excited to be the first in the world to offer this new innovation from Amorim to consumers." says John Stewart, Wood, Laminate and Cork Product Manager for SHNIER. "Amorim has been the environmentally conscious world leader in the cork industry for over 130 years. SHNIER is proud to be partnered with such a strong leader in environmental stewardship. The new narrow beveled style will gain great consumer acceptance for cork flooring. The reaction from Canadian dealers has been phenomenal."
