| TURNHOUT, BELGIUM – i4F®, a group of companies providing patents and technologies to the global flooring industry, today announced that NOX Corporation has become the first US-based manufacturer of its new i4F CeraGrout® Flex technology. The new innovation delivers a loose-lay, glue-down version of its highly popular CeraGrout® family of technologies, extending i4F’s ceramic-look innovation for floors and walls. NOX will incorporate the technology into its commercial-grade ceramic-look product lines and manufacture i4F CeraGrout Flex at its facility in Ohio, USA. |
| Headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, NOX is a global LVT flooring innovator and manufacturer with more than 60 years of engineering expertise and customers in over 50 countries. The company pioneered differentiated products, including the world’s first eco-friendly, glueless LVT flooring. Complementing its manufacturing facilities in South Korea and Vietnam, NOX established a US facility in Ohio in 2015 and has continued to invest in local production capacity, technology, and infrastructure, making it a reliable and competitive manufacturing hub for North America. With this global footprint, NOX delivers a dependable production network. |
| NOX’s US production of loose-lay and glue-down LVT ensures greater supply reliability, shorter lead times, and more responsive service for commercial and residential customers across North America. The addition of i4F’s CeraGrout technology delivers the authentic appearance of ceramic and natural materials in a durable, practical, and easy-to-maintain format. |
| CeraGrout Flex, the latest addition to the i4F CeraGrout family, adds a new level of installation versatility to ceramic-imitation floor and wall tiles. Its loose-lay, glue-down format makes it particularly relevant for the commercial sector whilst still appealing to the residential market. Fully waterproof and highly robust, i4F CeraGrout Flex delivers the authentic look and feel of traditional ceramics while reducing installation complexity, mess and waiting times. Pre-attached grouts make installation and cleaning easier, while also improving hygiene and reducing the risk of staining, making the technology ideal for any room, including bathrooms and kitchens. |
