In the world of interior design and construction, durability and longevity are paramount. AmeriCove, a high-density polyurethane composite resin cove base, stands out as a reliable choice for protecting your walls and corners. Explore the remarkable impact resistance of AmeriCove and how it provides a shield for your spaces.
AmeriCove Composition
AmeriCove is crafted from a flexible yet highly durable polyurethane composite resin. Its closed cell structure not only lends it supreme protection from various solvents but also makes it almost completely hydrophobic, meaning it won’t rot over time. This unique combination of flexibility, durability, and resistance sets AmeriCove apart from other cove products.
The Power of Impact Resistance
One of the standout features of AmeriCove is its impressive impact resistance. With a Shore A hardness of 85 and a tensile strength of 950 psi, AmeriCove is engineered to withstand impact and pressure, making it an ideal choice for areas prone to wear and tear. Whether it’s a high-traffic hallway, a bustling commercial space, or even outdoor installations, AmeriCove ensures that your walls and corners are shielded from the rigors of daily use.
Advantages of Americove
- Waterproof – AmeriCove’s waterproof resilience sets it apart as an ideal choice. The closed cell structure ensures hydrophobicity, preventing water absorption and guarding against damage. This feature simplifies cleanup, facilitating quick and effective wiping to maintain a dry and sanitary environment. Moreover, AmeriCove’s adaptability to environmental factors adds an extra layer of protection.
- Durability – Unlike traditional cove products, AmeriCove won’t rot, swell, or deteriorate over time. Its resilience ensures that it maintains its structural integrity, even in challenging environments.
- Flexibility – AmeriCove’s impact resistance makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. It can withstand extreme heat and cold without warping, providing a reliable solution for various applications.
- Installer Friendly – Americove’s flexibility ensures both impact resistance and effortless installation. Easily shaped along walls and ceilings, it delivers a seamless, professional floor finish. This flexibility not only enhances aesthetics but also streamlines the installer’s job. With standard woodworking equipment, Americove can be cut, sanded, and shaped to fit any space, with miter saws providing precise trimming for a polished appearance.
Americove Installation Tips
Installing AmeriCove is a seamless process that ensures a secure and professional finish for your space. Begin by focusing on the corners, installing your prefabricated corners first or making a precise 45° cut on one side for a tailored fit, if needed. Next, generously apply industrial adhesive along the top, edges, and bottom of the cove, ensuring a relaxed position during installation. If installing a quartz or flake application, to enhance efficiency, we recommend preparing the flake or quartz application before installing, allowing you to work with gravity rather than against it.This strategic approach streamlines the process and contributes to a smoother overall installation. After successfully placing the AmeriCove, take a moment to wipe down the surface with a lightly-soaped rag, effectively removing any lingering dust or debris. Seal joints with a clear caulk to ensure a secure and seamless connection between sections.
Finally, proceed to install your chosen coating system according to the manufacturer’s specifications. This comprehensive approach guarantees a professional and enduring result, showcasing the reliability of AmeriCove in providing both ease of installation and a high-quality finish.
When it comes to safeguarding your spaces with confidence, AmeriCove’s impact resistance stands as a testament to its durability and reliability. Choose AmeriCove for a cove base that not only offers superior performance but also ensures that your walls and corners remain protected for the long haul. With its unique composition and remarkable impact resistance, AmeriCove is a smart investment in the longevity of your spaces.
