Bjelin / Valinge - Brushed Hardened Wood Flooring | Misty White Oak (Select Grade)

Bjelin / Valinge Hardened Wood Flooring with Woodura

Real Wood + Hardened Surface + Water Resistance

Valinge Flooring and Bjelin have come together as one brand: BJELIN. Despite the new brand name, nothing else has changed about the hardened wood flooring collections that feature Välinge Innovation technologies. Real hardwood flooring featuring the patented Woodura® surface technology strengthens the floor planks for outstanding impact and wear resistance. The result is a hardened wood surface that's exceptionally 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.

Sustainable and Healthy Alternative to LVP

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.

Woodura^® - Real Wood but Stronger

Flooring with Woodura surface provides outstanding impact and wear resistance. It protects against indents from things like dropped objects or heeled shoes. As well as wear marks that can appear from children's toys or running pets. Valinge real wood floors are 3-5 times stronger compared to traditional hardwood floors.

5G^® Fold Down Installation

5G® glueless locking system is recognized the world over as the fastest & easiest installation system. When the floor plank is folded down, a flexible tongue is pushed into a tongue groove. You will actually hear it emit a "click" sound as it securely locks into place. It's the strongest locking system in its class (floating and glue).

5G^® Dry™
Water Resistant & Worry-Free

5G® Dry™ technology provides enhanced water resistance by preventing water from penetrating the seams of the flooring planks. Have peace of mind that your hardwood flooring can withstand your busy lifestyle complete with kids, pets, and the everyday unavoidable spills and messes that come with it.

Finish & Warranty - Hardened Wood with Woodura^® Surface

The Woodura® surface technology combined with the UV-cured acrylic coated protective layer provides the floor with outstanding dent and gouge resistance. It's hardened to be 3 times stronger than traditional wood. And the BRUSHED UV-cured surface finish gives the flooring that unmistakable real wood texture that feels warm and natural underfoot, organic but luxurious. It’s also easy to clean, scratch-resistant, and requires no refinishing.

It's suitable for virtually every room in your home - it stands up to your heaviest home traffic and even light commercial areas. It carries a Limited Lifetime Warranty for residential areas and a 10-year warranty for commercial use.

Multilayer Construction with Woodura® Surface

The Woodura® surface technology is based on fusing a thin sheet of wood (2) onto a wood fiber core (4), then through powder mix layers (3) and (5). The powder mix perfectly fills up the natural openings of the wood and enhances the wood's appearance. With high pressure and temperature, the plank is hardened, resulting in an extremely durable, hardened wood surface that is 3-5X stronger than traditional wood flooring.

1. BRUSHED UV cured coating
2. Natural oak, ash, or walnut wood layer
3. Wood-based powder layer
4. Compositek™ moisture-resistant core
5. Wood-based powder layer
6. Wood veneer backing layer

Care and Maintenance for Bjelin / Valinge Hardened Wood Flooring

Our hardened wood floors are a cinch to maintain! For day-to-day dirt and dust, use mainly dry methods, such as a microfiber cloth, dust mop, or vacuum cleaner. To clean the floors, use a microfiber cleaning pad together with a pH-neutral cleaner meant for lacquered floors (for example, Bona Hardwood Floor Cleaner).

Tip: a magic eraser melamine cleaning sponge typically removes the most common stains.

Important:

• Don't use a floor steam cleaner since the steam might affect the otherwise water-resistant surface.
• No need to use excessive water when cleaning, such as a wet mop with a bucket.

Reviews for Bjelin / Valinge Hardened Wood Flooring

"Recently spec’d Valinge for an 8 unit townhome project. Super impressed with the look and durability especially at the price point. I tend to hold some units as rentals and would generally move to an LVP or similar for those units, but after seeing how tough this stuff is I’ve started using it everywhere."

"We LOVE LOVE LOVE the Valinge Flooring sold to us by Greenhome Solutions. We own a 1929 home and I needed a flooring that could withstand teenagers on skateboards and kids with lots of spills. The Valinge Honey Oak does not disappoint! It has held up to very extreme wear and tear and does not show any scratches. We have moved furniture regularly and it is amazing how scratch resistant this flooring is. We also have dried out snow gear regularly on drying racks over the flooring and I don't worry at all about damage, that even includes the occasional drink spill. If remodeling or looking for a quality and sustainable product for your new construction I highly recommend looking at Valinge Flooring."
