Introducing Bright Stone Swiss Techslate Flooring: The Ultimate Waterproof and Durable Solution

Tackle your toughest flooring challenges with Bright Stone Swiss Techslate, a premium, high-performance flooring solution engineered for durability, aesthetics, and unparalleled resilience. Designed to meet the demands of any residential or commercial space, Techslate is the intelligent choice for modern living, especially in areas prone to moisture and flooding.

Conquer Flooding and Moisture with Confidence

Is your basement susceptible to leaks or flooding? Bright Stone Techslate is specifically designed for such environments. As a 100% waterproof flooring material, it can withstand direct water exposure without swelling, warping, or sustaining damage. With a 0% swelling value after 24 hours of water immersion (EN 317), it offers complete peace of mind, making it the perfect, worry-free flooring for basements, saunas, washrooms, and commercial kitchens.

Unmatched Durability for Demanding Spaces

Techslate flooring is built to last, effortlessly handling the rigours of daily life:

• Extreme Scratch Resistance: With an 

  Ac5

   (the highest commercial rating) and >10,000 abrasion resistance, it stands up to heavy foot traffic, pets, and furniture.

• Superior Impact Resistance: It won’t dent from dropped items or heavy furniture legs (EN 424).

• Stain & Chemical Resistance: Rated a perfect 5/5 for stain resistance (EN 438-2) and offers “very good resistance” to chemicals (EN 423), ensuring easy cleanup and long-lasting beauty.

Simplified Installation: Glue-Down for Ultimate Stability

Bright Stone Techslate is renowned for its easy installation process. For areas where a permanent, waterproof bond is critical (such as flood-prone basements), we highly recommend the glue-down installation method. This technique secures the flooring directly to the subfloor, creating a monolithic, seamless surface that prevents water from penetrating underneath, ensuring total integrity and stability in the most challenging conditions.

Seamless Beauty and Superior Performance

• Expansive, Continuous Look: Install up to 10,000 square feet without visible transitions, creating a sleek, cohesive flow from room to room.

• Ideal for Underfloor Heating: With excellent thermal conductivity (ca. 0.05 m² K/W), it efficiently transfers heat, making it a perfect companion for radiant heating systems.

• Enhanced Comfort & Safety: Techslate provides significant impact sound reduction (~19 dB), a fire-retardant A2fl-s1 rating, and a slip-resistant R10 surface.

• Sustainable Choice: Made from 100% natural materials, it is fully recyclable, has low emissions (<100 ppm AgBB), and supports eco-friendly building practices.

Ideal for: Basements, Restaurants, Hotels, Retail Stores, Hospitals, Schools, Saunas, Offices, Airports, and every room in your home.

Upgrade your space with the strength, beauty, and waterproof guarantee of Bright Stone Techslate.
