Core & Back Layer
Creating balance within the construction is essential in maintaining dimensional stability. Continental vinyl is formulated and manufactured to meet these critical needs. The use of carefully tested and selected post-production and post-industrial recycled vinyl, along with a unique manufacturing method, allows Continental to produce the highest quality luxury vinyl components. The vinyl is free of mercury, lead and cadmium, and is formulated without ortho-phthalate plasticizers.
