CBS Magnetic Foil is a patented magnetic flooring installation system that transforms virtually any wood flooring product into magnetic wood flooring for installation onto raised metal access floors and magnetically-receptive underlays.
Supporting design for disassembly, the system enables secure installation whilst allowing flooring to be easily uplifted, reused and replaced.
As magnetic wood flooring continues to grow in popularity, manufacturers are increasingly recognising the advantages of combining the natural beauty of wood with the commercial and circularity benefits of design for disassembly.
Our magnetic foil is available globally as a proven, open-source technology to manufacturers looking to develop high-performance magnetic flooring products.
It can additionally be supplied with our patented Dual-Grip™ film technology, providing an additional dimension of hold between the magnetic wood flooring and sub-floor.
With years of expertise in magnetic flooring, we are able to provide consultancy services on the most suitable materials, manufacturing processes and performance requirements needed to successfully magnetise wood flooring products.
Why Choose CBS Magnetic Foil for Your Magnetic Wood Flooring?
Trusted High-Performance Magnetic Flooring Technology
Magnetic on one side and featuring a high-strength acrylic adhesive on the other, CBS Magnetic Foil is a high-performance PVC-free magnetic film used to create robust and reliable magnetic wood flooring products.
This adhesive-free installation method creates a strong yet fully reversible connection to the subfloor, protecting it from damage and adhesive contamination and helping to maintain asset value.
Designed specifically for circular construction, magnetic wood flooring incorporating CBS Magnetic Foil is:
Patented Dual-Grip™ Technology for Enhanced Grip
CBS Magnetic Foil can be supplied with our patented Dual-Grip™ film technology, providing an additional dimension of hold between the magnetic wood flooring and sub-floor.
This enhanced horizontal stability helps prevent movement and tracking over time, particularly in areas exposed to regular foot traffic.
For optimum long-term performance, it is recommended that around 10% of the total floor area is fitted with magnetic wood flooring using Dual-Grip™ technology, making it easier to install whilst improving durability and resistance to movement in high-traffic environments.
Easy Access to Underfloor Services
The tongue-and-groove profile of standard magnetic wood flooring is often modified to enable individual planks on a critical path to be lifted for access to services beneath the sub-floor.
This enables the planks to be more easily “popped out” when needed using a suction cup. However, these adjustments are often made on-site which can be tricky and time-consuming.
Circular Building Solutions advise on design of pre-machined planks specifically for magnetic flooring installations.
Ready to slot into place, they enable quick uplift and replacement whilst minimising on-site disruption and delays.
UV Identification
We can also advise on the identification of these critical access planks within magnetic wood flooring installations using a high-performance UV stamp applied to the wood surface.
Invisible under normal lighting, the UV marking can be quickly located using an inexpensive UV lamp, eliminating the need for detailed floor mapping and making it easy to identify the correct sequence for plank removal and refitting.
This simple but effective system allows individual planks to be rapidly lifted using suction lifters, providing efficient access to services beneath the raised access floor while minimising disruption.
