Welcome to the Tank Your Plank Challenge!
This is a hands-on demonstration designed to test the waterproof claims of different flooring products.
Many flooring manufacturers advertise their products as "waterproof," but what does that really mean? In this challenge, we'll compare several types of waterproof flooring against MonoTech, by exposing them to the same conditions and observing how they perform (and how MonoTech outperforms all other types of “waterproof flooring”).
Our MonoTechnology product has been underwater for 3.5 years with a swell rate of just 1.4%.
While the flooring industry talks about waterproof…TrueTouch proves it.
And we’re inviting you to take the plunge!
Objective
The goal of the Tank Your Plank Challenge is to evaluate how different flooring products react when completely submerged in water for an extended period of time.
We'll be looking for:
Swelling
Warping
Delamination
Edge damage
Changes in appearance
Structural integrity after soaking
Click system integrity
What Makes a Product Waterproof?
A truly waterproof flooring product should resist water penetration and maintain its structural integrity when exposed to moisture.
However, not all waterproof claims are the same. Some products may have waterproof surfaces while still being vulnerable at the edges or core materials. This challenge helps demonstrate those differences in a simple and visual way.
The Monotech™ Difference
What Makes a Product Waterproof?
→ Monolithic construction
→ Real wood
→ No plastics
→ No PVC
→ No layers
→ No adhesives
→ No chemicals
→ No excuses
Waterproof construction, not a waterproof system. MonoTech is waterproof throughout the structure, no matter how you cut it.
