WOVEN FLOORING IS FAST AND SIMPLE
TO INSTALL ON ANY KIND OF SURFACE
Like any other flexible flooring, installation is done by gluing the material directly to any kind of flat, clean, dry, stiff surface.
To save time and increase flexibility, you can also install the tiles without gluing them down.
The FrayGuardTMA
technology developed by Dickson minimizes the common phenomenon of fraying when cutting carpeting
and boosts durability of the weave. It guarantees clean-cut edges for fast, efficient, impeccable installation.

LOW MAINTENANCE
Cleaning time is minimal. As with
linoleum or tiling, basic cleaning can be
done with a vacuum, broom and warm
water mixed with a neutral detergent.
STAIN RESISTANT
Dickson®
flooring was designed to
resist stains by not absorbing liquids
and thus making spills quick and easy
to clean.
A UNIQUE COMPOSITION FOR EXTREMELY DURABLE,
EASYTO MAINTAIN FLOORING
Although the structure of the weave makes it appear to have a certain relief element, the exclusive assembly process
used by Dickson guarantees it is absolutely waterproof, dustproof and stainproof.The warp and weft yarns are heat-sealed
together and assembled to the backing while they’re still hot to prevent the penetration of any dirt or liquids in between the
fibres so it stays on the surface for easy clean-up.
Dickson®
woven flooring ensures optimal quality sanitary conditions. Rotproof, antibacterial, and impervious to dust
mites, mould spores and fungus, the impermeable surface makes it easy to keep clean and prevents tough to remove stains
like coffee, wine, fruit jam, blood, etc.
