Is your company working on a project that has what might be the worst subfloor in North America? That’s the starting point for a Contest that Schönox has put together to shine a light on tough subfloor conditions, detail the best ways to renovate them, and provide some recognition and publicity for the companies who handle these challenging projects. “Too often the stability and condition of subfloors is overlooked in the flooring installation industry resulting in failed installations,” explained Thomas Trissl, HPS Schönox Principal. “With that thought in mind, Schönox has kicked off a subfloor competition for flooring companies where they can enter projects that began with damaged, unsound subfloors and were renovated using Schönox products.”. . .

HPS Schönox and Spartan Surfaces announced that they have reached an agreement that will result in a new division for Spartan Surfaces that will distribute Schönox products from Virginia to southern New Jersey. Spartan Distribution will carry the full line of Schönox subfloor products including primers and moisture mitigation systems, patching and smoothing products, floor leveling compounds, and adhesives. Headquartered in Forest Hill, Maryland, Spartan Surfaces has flooring experts in place throughout the region. HPS Schönox has expanded its team of subfloor technical associates to support this area and the extensive growth of Spartan Surfaces. . . .

HPS Schönox has assembled a product system focused on the quick turnarounds required for flooring installations in the retail sector. From priming to subfloor leveling and on to flooring installation, Schönox now has a product group designed for speed. Schönox KH Fix primer, ZM Rapid self-leveling compound, and Roll and Go™ LVT adhesive make up the retail-focused product lineup. “Our retail customers often need to do flooring installations overnight,” commented Brandon Hagen, HPS Schönox Territory Business Manager. “Our comprehensive product system will allow them to do so with speed that they have not seen before.”. . .

HPS Schönox is presenting subfloor products at the NAHB International Builders’ Show that will allow contractors to install more diverse flooring in rooms that would normally receive broadloom carpet only. The company’s self leveling compounds can be poured over uneven wood subfloors resulting in smooth, sound substrates with incredible strength and durability.. . .
