MOHAWK INDUSTRIES ULTRAWOOD FLOORING
This year, Mohawk Industries is introducing UltraWood, an ultimate
performance hardwood that provides long-lasting durability and superior
waterproof protection. It utilizes Everlast hardwood protection system,
which reinforces its hardwood veneer against scratches, wear and dents.
Everlast technology promises four times greater scratch protection, two
times stronger wear protection and five times greater dent protection.
UltraWood also utilizes Mohawk’s patented WetProtect technology
and its innovative protection for the top of the floor, and from water
leaking through and damaging the subfloor. And, EasyClean, Mohawk’s
enhanced lacquer, resists stains and soil buildup within the grain of
each UltraWood board and keeps the floor looking its best longer. Using
Mohawk’s Uniclic glueless locking system, the flooring may be installed
faster than traditional hardwood, which requires a longer acclimation time.
CAESARSTONE WHITELIGHT UltraWood also has SCS Global Services FloorScore Indoor Air Quality
