A proprietary interlocking edge, flexible resilient waterproof base, 10-year wear warranty and a simple, proprietary Place 'N Go process allow FreeStyle to be placed directly over problem subfloors with high moisture content, cracks or irregular surfaces. It can also be placed directly over and without removing most existing flooring, including asbestos and asphalt tile, resilient, wood, VCT, concrete and low-profile/direct-glue-down carpet.
