APO products are proudly Philippine made. Our Vinyl Plant is located in Mariveles, Bataan while the Wood Plant is just in Taguig. So, it is our end to cater all flooring needs without the long waiting for stocks since our supply is continuous.
The sub-floor must be prepared to ensure that it is smooth, flat and dry. Any bump, ridge or indentation in the sub-floor may eventually show on the surface of the vinyl tile. If installation is done over concrete, it should be tested for moisture emission rates and pH level to ensure that it has cured prior to the tile's installation. For a complete flat and even sub-floor, we recommend using 1/4 or 1/2 in. marine plywood.
Regular care of vinyl floors is so simple. Daily sweeping or mopping will help maintain the original shine and color of a vinyl floor for years. Quick clean up of spots and spills with a mild detergent and water will prevent discoloration of the flooring and a weekly or bi-weekly cleaning with a commercial floor cleaner (like our APO Floorcare system) will remove surface scratches and keep the floor looking good as new.
APO vinyl tiles will not react when in contact with spills such as water because vinyl is impervious to water. We recommend using a water-resistant adhesive like our Powerbond to prevent delamination for short-term seepage of water.
Our vinyl tiles can take on sudden spills from cooking oil, soy sauce, vinegar and other light chemicals. Caution though must be made for our vinyl not in contact with harsh chemicals such muriatic acid.
The thicker the vinyl tile the better is its performance to withstand heavy loads. Using the appropriate thickness of vinyl, dimensional stability against heavy loads is ensured.
Engineered wood can be installed 3 ways: either floating, glue-down or nail down. Either way the sub-floor must be ideally smooth and leveled although on a floating installation the sub-floor may be less stringent.
Regular care of Engineered Wood is so simple. Daily sweeping and vacuuming is the only thing needed to maintain the beauty and look of real, natural looking wood floors.
