When we developed Canopy Flex—our revolutionary self-adhering stone-look tile—we didn't just want it to be easy; we wanted it to have stability no one else can touch.

That confidence comes from one crucial, internal component: the Fiberglass Mesh Layer. This feature, combined with our patented SetaGrip™ technology, is why Canopy Flex is the ultimate regret-free floor for kitchens, foyers, and anywhere you crave the elegance of stone without the hassle of grout or the shifting of typical loose lay products.

The Power of the Internal Mesh

Many competing vinyl tiles rely solely on their core composition to maintain shape. But vinyl naturally reacts to temperature—it expands when warm and contracts when cool. This movement leads to visible gapping and shifting over time.

Fiberglass: The Anti-Movement Anchor

The fiberglass mesh layer is embedded within the core of every Canopy Flex tile. Think of it as the structural backbone:

• Dimensional Stability: Fiberglass has extremely low thermal expansion properties. When the rest of the vinyl tile wants to slightly expand or contract due to normal room temperature changes, the fiberglass mesh holds it rigid. This dramatically minimizes movement between the tiles, ensuring the edges—and our integrated grout line—stay tight and seamless.
• Superior Joint Integrity: By preventing movement, the fiberglass mesh protects the edges of the tile, ensuring a clean fit over the lifespan of the floor. This is especially critical for a product like Flex, which is laid without a floating click mechanism.

The Synergy of Stability: Flex's Patented System

The fiberglass mesh doesn't work alone. It operates in perfect synergy with the other proprietary features of Canopy Flex, creating a stable, secure, and user-friendly floor.

SetaGrip™ and Self-Adhesion

Canopy Flex features patented SetaGrip™ technology on its backing. This self-adhering backing grips the subfloor securely but allows the tile to be repositioned during installation—a total game-changer for getting those stone looks, like marble or slate, perfectly aligned.

• No Waiting: Because of the combined stability of the mesh and the secure grip of SetaGrip™, Canopy Flex does not require a lengthy acclimation period, speeding up your project significantly.
• Easy Repair: If a tile is ever damaged, its loose lay nature and SetaGrip™ backing make it relatively simple to lift and replace the single tile without tearing up the entire floor.

The Final, Flawless Touch

The enhanced stability provided by the fiberglass mesh ensures that the unique integrated grout line—built right into the tile's bevel—remains crisp and beautiful. You get the dimensional, upscale look of stone without the mess or the cracking of real grout, all because the tile itself is locked into perfect form.

By combining superior structural engineering (fiberglass mesh) with innovative installation technology (SetaGrip™), Canopy Floors created a product that delivers unmatched stability and a truly regret-free experience for the family raising a family.
