We have two systems, one is a product we have Duralock and Duralock plus and we've just introduced a new system called Installock. There are basically two methods of installation for this glueless system, one is the horizontal method and with that product you slide the planks together. You lay them flat next to each other and then you tap one plank horizontally on the sides and then you tap it on the ends to join it to the other plank. We use that with our Duralock plus. We take that a step further by applying a moisture-activated adhesive inside the grooves of the plank. We have a water bottle that is specially designed to apply the appropriate amount of moisture down the tong and when that tong slides into the groove, that activates the glue within that groove and it gives you the benefits of the glued installation. When laminate first came out you had to glue every plank to get it stay together and it was still a do it yourself type operation, but it was a fairly messy and time consuming activity. And with the Duraloc plus we feel like we have given you the strength of the glue system with the ease and effortlessness of the glueless system.
