Hardened Wood

Hardened Wood Flooring with Woodura

Real Wood + Hardened Surface + Water Resistance

Real hardwood flooring featuring a patented Woodura® surface technology that strengthens the floor planks for outstanding impact and wear resistance. The result is a hardened wood surface that is 3 - 5 times stronger than traditional engineered and solid wood flooring. Pair that with Valinge's innovative 5G® Fold Down glueless locking system that also provides water resistance, and you have the next generation in Hardwood Flooring. 

Real Wood, But Stronger.
Real Wood, But Water Resistant.

We recommend this line of hardwood flooring as a sustainable and healthy alternative to luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring. The hardened wood technology combined with the enhanced water resistance makes for a real wood floor that stands up to kids, pets, and heels just as well as its vinyl counterpart, but without vinyl's added VOCs.

All of our hardened wood floors use patented technology from Välinge Innovation:

• REAL WOOD, BUT STRONGER: The hardened Woodura® surface is 3X stronger and more durable than traditional wood floors

• WATER RESISTANT: The 5G® Dry™ installation system prevents water from making its way into the plank seams. Compositek™ is the highly water-resistant core.

• EASIER & FASTER DIY INSTALLATION: 5G® Fold Down install system is the fastest and easiest around - with a visible locking function that "clicks", letting you know that it's securely locked into place.

How is this HEALTHY, STRONGER, WATER-RESISTANT Hardwood Flooring Made?

The magic of the Hardened Wood Flooring is in the awarded technology.  It starts with Woodura® - the surface technology is based on fusing a thin sheet of wood onto a wood fiber core, then through a powder mix layer. The powder mix perfectly fills up the natural openings of the wood and enhances the wood's appearance. Essentially the wood layer is hardened by high pressure and temperature, creating a durable, hardened wood surface that is 3-5X stronger than traditional wood flooring.

The 5G® Dry™ installation system protects against everyday messes, spills, and wet mopping by preventing water from penetrating the seams of the flooring planks. This enhanced water resistance reduces the risk of water damage that plagues most hardwood floors, including discoloration, warping from swelling, as well as hazardous mold and mildew growth. 

Finally, the Compositek® moisture-resistant composite core provides additional protection against water damage.

And the best part? They manage to infuse all this innovative technology while limiting emissions of total volatile organic compounds (VOCs) - the nasty stuff you'll find in many non-wood and wood-look waterproof flooring. Our Hardened Wood Flooring is E1 certified and CARB Phase 2 Compliant (refer to the Safety Data Sheet for more information). You can rest easy with this stronger wood flooring that preserves your healthy indoor air environment.

So enjoy wood in all the areas you wouldn't normally install hardwood: bathrooms, kitchens, basements, mudrooms, and laundry rooms. Our hardened wood flooring is suitable for virtually every room in your home.
