Hardwood Planking
Wood Like Vinyl Planks
Both the Factory Finished Hardwood Planking and the Sanded Maple Planking
are great surfaces if selected properly for all your dance needs. We look for
relatively thin wood planking with a thick wear surface. The planks must be
“engineered” to minimize the possibility of warping and cupping. It is a tongue
and groove installation. We use the industries strongest adhesives to withstand
the flexibility of the floor.
Our vinyl plank captures and duplicates the details and varieties of natural
wood species from forests throughout the world. Design, color, surface texture
and finish, are an amazing reflection of the real thing.
• Unfinished (sanded) or Factory Finished
• Replicated natural wood look
• Many designs with smooth or textured surface
• Minimal maintenance
• Economical
The selection of wood planking is as customized as possible, depending on
compatibility of the activities on the floor and the personal taste of the owner.
Each plank is manufactured of a high density, multi crossplied, dimensionally
stable mid-layer. It is supported on a 2.5mm base with a 20mill, high performance, clear, vinyl wear surface.
Call us for product selection that fits your specific needs, personal taste and
budget
It is also available in squares that duplicate Granit, Shale, or Rock.
All vinyl planks or tiles guarantee commercial wear performance, appealing
aesthetic attraction and have absolutely limited maintenance requirements.
