According to estimates, by 2021, Thailand will fully transition into an Aging Society. Before the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted lives worldwide, if someone had told us that our world was filled with elderly people, we might have felt disheartened at first. However, in reality, the elderly are all around us, and we often don't feel that way at all. On the contrary, in many families, the elderly serve as the emotional center for family members.

Preparing for the increasing number of elderly individuals has led to the development and implementation of various measures in society. Households with elderly members are beginning to seek ways to improve their living spaces to ensure safety and comfort, suitable for their needs, while reducing risks that could lead to accidents, particularly falls, which are common and can result in fatalities. This has become an important issue that has garnered attention.

Every space is important, especially when it comes to improving flooring for the elderly. LT by COTTO, from SCG Ceramics Co., Ltd., is dedicated to creating high-quality Smart Flexible flooring products that continuously enhance the quality of life for Thai people. Recently, LT by COTTO has introduced innovations that are recognized globally for their health, safety, and durability, along with the aesthetic appeal of elegant wood designs that perfectly convey a natural feel. This is all included in the latest Soft + Floor Collection, ensuring that every area of LT by COTTO is the best "floor" for every family member.

What makes the best flooring?
When discussing flooring improvements, the primary quality must be strength, smoothness, and consistency. However, in reality, a hard floor is not always the best answer. Every time we walk and go about our daily routines at home, the movements of our joints and muscles experience impacts that we may not even realize. Therefore, choosing flooring materials should also consider those that can absorb shock. LT by COTTO has introduced the Core multilayer structure innovation, which not only enhances the strength of the Soft + Floor collection but also combines flexibility to improve grip and reduce surface consistency issues with a unique three-layer structure. This makes it capable of absorbing shocks and providing better flexibility, outperforming other wooden flooring materials by 2.3 times. Additionally, the density of the three-layer technology provides comfort underfoot and reduces joint deterioration in the elderly.

The best flooring is clean and does not harbor germs.
Floors are the lowest surfaces that support various activities of household members. It would not be wrong to say that floors are significant areas that accumulate dirt in the home. Nowadays, various innovations are being used to make cleaning surfaces easy without compromising the beauty of the flooring materials. Once again, LT by COTTO's Soft + Floor collection introduces the EPT Shield coating innovation, making the surface easy to clean, resistant to scratches, color fading, and contamination, while also incorporating hygienic agents that inhibit bacterial growth, safe for children and pets.

Floors can also be a source of noise disturbance.
All of these considerations should be sufficient for managing flooring for elderly family members. However, many elderly individuals, or even other household members, may experience noise disturbances at night from others moving about, especially during certain times that can lead to sleepless nights. Choosing quality flooring materials to address this issue is an important aspect that many people often "forget" when selecting flooring for home improvements.

With attention to every detail, LT by COTTO aims to provide the best flooring experience for family members. The Soft + Floor collection utilizes Core SoundProtect Technology, which has received global recognition from Quiet Mark, combined with the Soft+ structure that includes a high-density Cushion Layer. This results in the latest Soft + Floor collection from LT by COTTO not only providing a soft and comfortable feel underfoot but also reducing noise from impacts or footsteps, enhancing the quality of life in personal spaces. Additionally, the beauty of the Premium Natural Matt surface texture combined with Smart Flexible flooring materials, along with EIR-Embossed In Register technology, showcases deep wood grain patterns with long Grande Design wood patterns, adding luxury and elegance, evoking the feel of natural wood. This is to deliver the best "floor" as a gift to important family members as Thailand officially transitions into an Aging Society.
