High-quality laminate floors are among the credible imitators of natural and artificial materials, offering traditional as well as less common and atypical decors. Designer of the German laminate flooring manufacturer Witex gradually presented two interesting collections with completely individual designs. The first collection, Witex Color, with five solid color decors, offers two types of finishes: extravagant high gloss or subtle matte. The second mentioned collection, Witex Color+, with six single and multicolored decors, combines impressive high gloss with an even more resistant surface, making it suitable for commercial use. Both collections with their unconventional design evoke the impression of tiles and bring high quality, uniqueness, and modernity. The color collections Witex Color and Witex Color+ open the doors to the latest design and interior styles. In addition to their design, they also stand out for the special technologies used in production, which make the flooring durable and stable. The manufacturer even guarantees a lifetime warranty on the locking system and product stability for both collections. Witex products are exclusively imported to the Czech market by Kratochvíl parket profi, which supplies them to its business partners and specialized retail stores in the flooring market, 1 FLOOR.
Witex Color - decors White, Black, Umbra Grey, Ruby Red, Sapphire Blue
Witex Color decor Black high gloss
The Witex Color collection was created by combining classic solid colors with either a subtly matte or highly glossy surface, resulting in a collection with an extraordinary appearance and an unconventional manufacturing process. The collection includes five solid color decors in distinct shades of white, black, dark gray, ruby red, and sapphire blue. For each of the mentioned shades, the manufacturer offers a completely matte or luxurious high-gloss finish. The edges of individual boards measuring 823 x 329 mm are additionally highlighted with microfibers and a gentle bevel, giving the flooring a sense of spaciousness and harmony. The thickness of the planks is 8 mm.
Thanks to a special technology for curing the surface using electron beams, the flooring, despite its gloss and matte finishes, is especially resistant to scratching, abrasion, and staining. The collection is equipped with a reliable and proven installation locking system LocTec – Unilin® and allows installation over underfloor heating. The load class 23 for private spaces makes the flooring suitable for use in virtually all residential areas: in hallways, bedrooms, living rooms, and studies. Witex Color laminate flooring can also be installed in humid areas like kitchens and bathrooms, as it features a water-resistant core board with Aqua-Protect® protection that prevents potential swelling, along with edges that are moisture-resistant. The matte finish with a load class 32 for commercial areas can also be installed in medium-traffic spaces like offices, boutiques, or cafés. The glossy finish offers a one-class lower load rating, so the manufacturer recommends it primarily for less heavily trafficked commercial spaces.
Show How a Dream is Built Two decors from the Witex Color collection were chosen by the designers of the show How a Dream is Built on TV Prima. In the episode broadcast on September 11, the decor Ruby Red in a glossy finish was tastefully combined with Kährs' wooden multilayer oak flooring (collection Linnea Dwell). In another episode broadcast on September 18, the designers chose the decor White in a matte finish.
In relation to the Witex Color collection, a premium collection Witex Color+ was developed, which excels in high-gloss design and particularly extreme durability. The collection offers a total of six decors: a solid black shade Deep Night, chrome Monochrom, dark sunset Sunset, and icy white Ice, as well as a decor inspired by iron texture Ferrum and striped gray-white Reed. The individual planks are manufactured in an XXL format of 1488 x 293 mm with a thickness of 11.4 mm.
The improved technological process allows the flooring to be used even in extremely high-traffic commercial spaces. The decorative paper on the surface is protected by a 1 mm thick and very durable X-Protect® layer, which consists of several resin layers compressed together under high pressure (high-pressure laminate HPL). This special surface allows for mechanical cleaning of the flooring. The flooring, just like Witex Color, is equipped with a water-resistant core board Aqua-Protect®, a LocTec – Unilin® locking system, and allows installation over underfloor heating. The load class 23/33 guarantees problem-free installation of the flooring in the most heavily trafficked private and commercial spaces.
Supplementary Technical Information for the Collections:
Witex Color Top Layer: Decorative paper protected and impregnated with a layer of acrylic resin (in matte finish with the addition of corundum mineral, in gloss finish without corundum mineral).

**Electron beam strengtheningis similar to laser beam strengthening. The heat source is a high-energy electron beam. The beam is manipulated using electromagnetic coils. This process can be highly automated; however, it must be conducted under vacuum conditions as electron beams easily scatter in the air.
