Acrylic-infused wood flooring brings durability for commercial spaces

The product incorporates an acrylic-infused top layer.


By David Malone, Associate Editor | July 21, 2017

New product line brings wide-plank wood floors to any commercial space, with a twist.

While made of real wood, the product incorporates an acrylic-infused top layer that makes the floor 300% more durable than standard wood, according to the maker. The 7½-inch-wide planks are available in multiple varieties of plain-sawn white oak, which is popular among hospitality, retail, and restaurant projects. The collection is made of Baltic birch plywood, UV-cured ceramic urethane, and an acrylic infusion.

The product is low-emitting for VOCs and CARB Phase 2 compliant, and FloorScore rated. Chain of custody has been certified by Scientific Certification Systems to Forest Stewardship Council standards.
