Sustainable, Waterproof Real Wood Flooring

Valinge Hardwood Flooring. Valinge Innovation, inventor of the 5G install system, has launched its first flooring product in the United States. It features the Woodura surface technology based on the fusion of real wood layers with powder mix layers that results in flooring planks that are 3 to 5 times stronger than other hardwood floors. Real Wood, But Stronger.

Valinge Hardened Wood Flooring with Woodura

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.

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

The magic of the 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 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 provides protection against everyday messes, spills, and wet mopping by preventing water from penetrating into 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. Valinge 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. Valinge hardwood flooring is suitable for virtually every room in your home.

5G® is the Valinge brand for their globally recognized Fold Down Installation System. No glueing or nailing is required. All you need to install the Valinge hardwood floor planks is one person, one pair of hands and a single movement. 5G® significantly reduces install time - whether you're a pro or you DIY.

5G® Dry™ technology prevents water from penetrating into the seams of the hardwood flooring planks, providing enhanced water resistance.

When combined, the 5G® install system and the 5G® Dry™ technology saves you valuable time and gives you peace-of-mind.

Valinge 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 bucket.
