Bjelin / Valinge Hardwood Flooring

The Next Generation in Hardwood Flooring

How Does BJelin Make Their HEALTHY, STRONGER, WATER-RESISTANT Hardwood Flooring?

The magic of the Bjelin / Valinge Hardened Wood Flooring is in their 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's exceptionally 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 of 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 water-resistant flooring. Bjelin 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. Bjelin / Valinge hardwood flooring is suitable for virtually every room in your home.

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 and easiest installation system out there. 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.

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.

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."
