This approach will enable visitors to explore innovations more intuitively, access relevant information efficiently, and engage with new technologies in a more meaningful way at their own pace, while dynamically adapting content to personalized preferences. The company will use this new platform to present its AI strategy under the umbrella name&nbsp;<em>ai4F<\/em>, alongside three new technologies. i4F\u2019s flagship drop-lock, HerringB\/ONE and water-resistant technologies, including AquaProtect and i-Click4U, will also be featured and demonstrated via the digitally driven showcase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>i4F\u2019s two new Stair Tread Technologies address one of the flooring industry&#8217;s biggest challenges by creating stairs that seamlessly match any floor using the same material, d\u00e9cor, texture, and height. This enables flawless floor-to-stair integration across SPC, LVT, WPC, laminate, and wood, including top steps and landings. Two construction approaches are available to accommodate all stair types: L-shaped and U-shaped. Water-resistant and engineered for safety, performance, and speed, both are ideal for residential, commercial, and hospitality applications. Installation is quick and easy, requiring no trimming, aluminum profiles, or structural stair modifications, ensuring a continuous design flow where every stair matches perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, i4F is introducing CeraGrout Wall, extending its popular CeraGrout technology -mimicking the aesthetics of modern rectified ceramics &#8211; from floors to walls. The wall application combines i4F CeraGrout\u2019s look and feel with an easy locking system adapted for simple installation, which is by nature glued. i4F CeraGrout&#8217;s fully waterproof, pre-attached grout technology on SPC panels make cleaning easier, more hygienic, and less prone to staining, ideal for bathrooms and kitchens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>i4F\u2019s CEO, John Rietveldt, says, \u201c2026 will be an exciting year! \u00a0As a technology leader, we are turning strategy into action &#8211; accelerating the flooring industry\u2019s shift into the digital space and applying AI to drive efficiencies to help our licensees bring the best solutions to market, faster. We are breaking down conventional boundaries through advanced technology platforms to enable customers to focus on what matters most, delivering high quality products and accelerated growth. We are also leading the trend toward seamless design &#8211; connecting floors, walls and now stairs into one unified visual experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"block file-list\">\n<\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n\n\n\n        <section class=\"block news feed latest\" id=\"block_6964cdf45c50f\">\n          <div class=\"container\">\n            <h6 class=\"title text-center\">\u6700\u65b0\u52a8\u6001<\/h6>\n            <div class=\"row pb-5\">\n              <div class=\"col-md-4\">\n                <p class=\"date\">2026\u5e74 3\u6708 31\u65e5<\/p>\n                <p>i4F and Unilin Technologies\u00a0enter into non\u2011assert agreement on water\u2011repellent coating patents for laminate and wood flooring<\/p>\n                <p><a href=\"https:\/\/i4f.com\/zh-hans\/article\/i4f-and-unilin-technologies-enter-into-non%e2%80%91assert-agreement-on-water%e2%80%91repellent-coating-patents-for-laminate-and-wood-flooring\/\" class=\"more\">\u9605\u8bfb\u6587\u7ae0<\/a><\/p>\n              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"col-md-4\">\n                <p class=\"date\">2026\u5e74 3\u6708 25\u65e5<\/p>\n                <p>Parkett Magazin &#8211; i4F: John Rietveldt in an interview of the month<\/p>\n                <p><a href=\"https:\/\/i4f.com\/zh-hans\/article\/parkett-magazin-i4f-john-rietveldt-in-an-interview-of-the-month\/\" class=\"more\">\u9605\u8bfb\u6587\u7ae0<\/a><\/p>\n              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"col-md-4\">\n                <p class=\"date\">2026\u5e74 1\u6708 27\u65e5<\/p>\n                <p>Lioncore selects i4F as exclusive licensor for its new patented L-SPC lightweight rigid core product build-up and composition<\/p>\n                <p><a href=\"https:\/\/i4f.com\/zh-hans\/article\/lioncore-selects-i4f-as-exclusive-licensor-for-its-new-patented-l-spc-lightweight-rigid-core-product-build-up-and-composition\/\" class=\"more\">\u9605\u8bfb\u6587\u7ae0<\/a><\/p>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"template":"","categories":[],"class_list":["post-9857","article","type-article","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.8.1 -
