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.

What should you consider when reviewing paint warranties?
Warranties can appear to be the same, but as a starting point, you should find out what paint technology your warranty is based on—polyester, silicon-modified polyester or PVDF. Once you’ve established an “apples to apples” comparison with the technologies, you must consider the color palette and its impact on warranty longevity. Review this with your builder, manufacturer or paint company representative.
