Features & Benefits Unique to DuPont™ Real Touch® Products

All patterns of the DuPont™ RealTouch® product have exciting features and benefits whether in wood, stone or tile patterns:

Embossed-In-Register®
Embossed-In-Register® is an amazing technology that applies wood and ceramic textures to laminate floors; embosses surface texture precisely over underlying patterns; creates an amazingly natural and authentic look; and provides increased traction and improved slip resistance. This feature is also used in the Classic Line.

JointGuard® 
Joint Guard® Glueless System helps to protect the vulnerable joints between laminate pieces by utilizing a subtle indentation on the edges of the planks; easy to use glueless locking system creates no mess; aids in making joints less visible; and installation is a snap - literally! This feature is also used in the Classic Line.

Comfort Underlayment** 
Our  pre-attached underlayment reduces noise and eliminates one step of the installation process, so you’re saving money and time. The underlayment also provides comfort underfoot; eliminates a time-consuming installation step; and greatly reduces noise.
** Comfort underlayment is not available in Canada.

InterPlank Design® 
InterPlank Design® features the Self-Alignment System™ -- A design feature that allows for the creation of an uninterrupted wood grain strip across planks and unbroken wood strips across seams. The system also offers wider planks which reduces installation time; allows faster and easier installation; prevents unsightly pattern repetition; and works regardless of which planks you put together. Four unique plank designs help reduce the possibility of pattern repetition; so that no matter which combination of the four planks you use, each pair creates the illusion of one continuous wood plank running across the seam.

LongStrip®
LongStrip® is an extension of the InterPlank® Design® technology and allows one wood strip to run up to 18 feet before the pattern breaks. And with the DuPont™ Real Touch® Wide Plank System™, this can be done without changing plank dimensions or standard packaging.

MicroBevel® 
MicroBevel® uses Embossed-In-Register® technology.  This technology embosses the lines between wood strips on multi-strip planks, including the outer edges of the planks which allows for subtle indents between wood strips. 

Multi-Direction Design™ 
A new design innovation that takes the InterPlank Design® concept in a whole new direction; Stone pattern continues uninterrupted across the seams between planks in both directions. This creates virtually invisible seams and a truly random stone pattern. Providing complex random stone patterns in laminate for the first time. Available in Tuscan Stone.

In summary, the combination of these innovations provide a more natural, realistic-looking floor in a more durable material.
