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.
