Como Flooring has officially launched the Krono Original Atlantic 8 laminate flooring range across South Africa, bringing homeowners a durable 8mm plank that masterfully balances sophisticated design with everyday practicality. Boasting an impressive AC4/Class 32 durability rating, this gorgeous collection is engineered to withstand the bustling foot traffic of modern South African households and working environments while retaining its flawless appearance.
The standout feature of this new launch is its advanced moisture-resistant engineering, offering an exceptional 48-hour splash water protection guarantee that fundamentally changes how we think about laminate flooring in moisture-prone zones. Available in a curated palette of six timeless colours: Biscotti Oak, Cotta Cremona Oak, Eggshell Oak, Greige Palais Oak, Sundance Oak, and Tan Parioli Oak – the Atlantic 8 collection seamlessly adapts to any interior aesthetic, from sleek coastal chic to warm traditional spaces.
Redefining Moisture Resistance in the Modern Home
For years, local homeowners loved the look of traditional timber but dreaded the inevitable warping, swelling, and damage caused by accidental spills, humid coastal air, or wet paws. The Atlantic 8 range completely rewrites that narrative with its innovative 1clic 2go pure+ installation system, which creates tightly locked, secure joints. This technology, paired with a moisture-resistant core, ensures that water remains on the surface for up to 48 hours rather than seeping into the core of the floor.
Whether it is a knocked-over juice box in a busy Johannesburg kitchen, a wet raincoat dripping in a Durban entryway, or a damp towel left on a hallway floor in Cape Town, this collection handles life’s messy moments with absolute ease. Parents and pet owners can finally enjoy true peace of mind, knowing that their beautiful floors are protected against unexpected daily accidents.
Authenticity Written in Every Grain
Beyond its incredible technical capabilities, this collection is a visual masterpiece. Each generous 1288*195mm plank features a stylish 4-sided V-groove edge detail that mimics the depth and distinct character of authentic wooden planks. The authentic embossed surface look adds a stunning, textured dimension that catches the light beautifully, giving your room an incredibly natural feel.
Furthermore, Krono Original utilises innovative technology that results in a significantly lower pattern repeat across the planks. This means your floor will look uniquely organic and varied, avoiding that repetitive, artificial appearance often found in lower-quality alternatives. It is this meticulous attention to detail that elevates a simple room into a truly inspiring space.
Certified Quality That Lasts a Lifetime
At Como Flooring, we refuse to compromise on quality to simply chase a cheaper price tag. We have all seen inferior flooring options on the market that fade under the harsh South African sun or prematurely turn green due to poor manufacturing standards. The Atlantic 8 range is built to a vastly superior standard, featuring integrated light-resistant and UV protection to ensure your selected shade stays vibrant for decades.
With its built-in Micro Scratch Protect surface, the flooring easily resists the scuffs and scrapes of active family life. It is also completely PVC-free and features A.B.C Anti Bacterial Comfort, making it a healthy, safe, and sustainable choice for your household environment. Backed by a generous 20-year residential warranty, this collection represents a long-term investment in your home that you can trust implicitly.
