Johnsonite Revitalizes
Triumph and Inertia™ Color Lines
and
Adds 1/4” SlideLock to Inertia Line
September 2014
Triumph and Inertia, Johnsonite’s highly-durable, multi-functional and sports flooring specialty
rubber tile lines, have been recolored to reflect today’s trends in the sports segment for
educational, corporate and hospitality venues. The entire color line is new with 26 colorways.
Twenty are fashioned as traditional, speckled designs while six are made by Johnsonite’s exclusive
Mesto™ tone-on-tone Olio marbleized method, unique to the industry. The Mesto colorways are
made in the same field colors as six of the speckled tiles so the two can be used in coordinating
patterns. The 26 colorways contain neutrals along with some best-selling colors added for
excitement. Solid colors are available in the twenty field colors of the new Triumph and Inertia
speckled lines as special order with no minimums and without SPA’s. As always, custom Speckled,
Mesto and Solid Colors are available by special request.
Also new to the Inertia line is the patented SlideLock profile in the 1/4” gauge, which allows for
glueless installation while hiding the tongue & grove connection system. SlideLock multi-functional
and sports flooring, now in both the Triumph and Inertia lines, can be installed without adhesive.
SlideLock and traditional interlocking flooring are well-suited for most sporting applications and are
great over access flooring or where floors are only temporarily required. They are also a solution
in areas where the subfloor is not suitable for glue-down application. Both SlideLock and
interlocking tiles can be removed and repurposed elsewhere, donated to charity or returned to
Johnsonite for recycling.
Triumph and Inertia are standard as square edge, glue-down tiles and as SlideLock hidden locking
tiles. Triumph is also available as standard in the interlocking (puzzle-piece) configuration.
Compared to UnderLock, the SlideLock profile is easier to install and expands design capabilities
while performing the same functions. As such, the UnderLock profile has now become classified
as non-promoted. It will be available as standard in the Speckled colorways until the end of 2014
to fill current specifications. However, it would be best for end-users and installers to recommend
that clients transition from UnderLock to SlideLock now.
The Triumph & Inertia Chain Set features all the new colors in one handy and convenient vehicle.
One Speckled and one Mesto colorway are shown in full thickness in Triumph as well as Inertia.
The balance of the colorways is shown in reduced thickness to keep the weight at a minimum and
for easier use. The updated chain set card reveals the usual information regarding available
colorways, sizes and gauges within both lines. The new chain set item number is 95100-1124.
The Multi-Functional and Sports Flooring System and Product Portfolio has been completely revised
and is available as item number 95100-92X.
The Main Street Display Board is also updated and available as item number 95100-1161.
As a part of the Johnsonite system, the new Triumph and Inertia colorways coordinate with other
Johnsonite solutions such as traditional and specialty rubber tiles, stair treads, transitions, corner
guards, finishing borders and chair rails. Entire project coordination allows specifiers to have a
Balanced Choice approach to signature projects, making the space more aesthetically pleasing,
safe and productive.
