    Advantages of Hardwood Flooring

    Still the Flooring with Worlds of Elegance For warmth and charm, nothing surpasses the beauty of wood floors and their exceptional beauty makes them easy to live with. Our 7-step UltraWear Plus finish with ScratchResist™ adds a durable surface that never requires waxing or refinishing and provides greater resistance to everyday household scratches. Of course, our UltraWear™ Plus finish also makes our floors easy to maintain.

    The finest hardwoods.

    We use only premium select wood species for our top face and 100% North American hardwoods for our inner plies for beauty and durability that shows.

    Amazing strength.

    Our 5-ply, cross-grain construction makes every Mannington Hardwood Floor far stronger than a single, solid piece of wood. We warrant they won't warp, buckle, or gap.

    Introducing ScratchResist™. Unbeatable Durability.

    Our 7-step UltraWear™ Plus finish with ScratchResist™ is a polyurethane/aluminum oxide finish that provides unsurpassed protection against normal wear. Each UltraWear™ Plus step is an ultraviolet cured process we pioneered. It gives our solvent-free finishes wear-and-scuff-resistance along with depth and clarity you just can't get any other way. Waxing? Polishing? Forget it!

    ScratchResist™ helps to protect against fine scratches that dull the finish of wood floors. Now available on all Mannington Wood Floors™. Click here for more information on ScratchResist™.

    Universal installation.

    Mannington Wood Floors™ are made to be installed virtually anywhere. At, above, or below ground level. In kitchens, basements, attics-places where ordinary solid wood floors can't survive.

    Precise fit.

    Our UltraFit™ tongue & groove system is precision engineered using diamond-tip tooling. That means you get a uniform and stable fit whether you glue, staple, nail, or float your installation.

    Easy care.

    Along with exceptional durability, our UltraWear™ polyurethane finish delivers long-term protection against normal wear and scuffs. Just follow simple maintenance techniques like regularly sweeping or vacuuming, cleaning spills promptly, and strategically placing mats, rugs, and casters. No damp mopping is required.

    Planet-friendly manufacturing.

    It takes more than twice as many trees to produce a traditional solid wood floor as it does to produce one of ours. Plus we use water-based stains and finishes that don't contain harsh solvents, and our adhesive system is formaldehyde-free.

    CONSTRUCTION

    Mannington offers a broad selection of wood floors in an exciting range of wood species, gloss levels, constructions, and popular finishes. In choosing the style of flooring you prefer, consider these options: Ultrawear&Reg;Plus Finish and ScratchResist™

    Our 7-step Ultrawear Plus polyurethane/aluminum oxide finish provides unsurpassed protection against normal wear. Each Ultrawear Plus step is ultraviolet cured, making it far more durable than any finish that could be applied on-site. Our ScratchResist finish helps your wood floor look new longer by resisting everyday household scratches. Click here to find out more about ScratchResist™.

    5-Ply Cross Grain Construction

    There's strength in numbers. Every Mannington hardwood floor is constructed with five plies for optimum strength and durability. Each ply is laid cross-grain to those above and beneath it. With each ply reinforcing the next, and with the stongest resins bonding all layers together, the combined result is far stronger than a single solid piece of wood — warranted not to warp, buckle or form gaps.

    Species

    The appearance of your floor will depend on the species of tree from which it is made. Each species has its own identifying grain pattern, like a fingerprint or signature. The pronounced grain of oak, for instance, would never be mistaken for the more subtle grain of maple. Mannington offers several different species, each offering its own distinct grain visual.

    Grain Visual

    Sliced cut top faces replicate the elegant appearance of solid wood floors and showcase a tight and uniform graining pattern. Rotary cut top faces create a wide and bold graining pattern. This cutting method produces the rich grain visuals displayed in most of our collections.

    Board Width

    Board width is crucial in how a floor will look in your home. Perhaps you'll prefer the refined, narrow widths of a 2 ¼" strip or 3" plank. Or perhaps the wider expanse of 5" planks will suit your décor. Mannington offers all three board widths for ample choice.

    Gloss Level

    Our three gloss levels should be matched to the traffic you anticipate for your floor. A high gloss finish is approporate for low-traffic rooms such as dining rooms, living rooms, and bedrooms. A semi-gloss finish is ideal for moderate-to-high traffic areas such as family rooms. And a satin finish is suitable for high-traffic areas including kitchens and dens.

    Board Thickness

    The thicker the floor, the stronger the floor. And the less likely that it wil be to warp, twist or cup. While all Mannington Wood Floors feature 5-ply construction, they come in different thicknesses. All of our Gold Series floors are nominal 9/16" thick or nominal 1/2" thick. Silver and Bronze Series floors are all nominal 3/8" thick.

    Edge Style

    The edge style of our boards is just as important as their width and finish in establishing the character of your floor. A square edge means boards fit flush against each other for a smooth, traditional look. A micro bevel or full bevel edge creates an angled effect where boards meet, to create more depth and dimension.

    How We Grade Our Floors

    Our Gold, Silver and Bronze collections offer clear guidance in selecting your floor. The Gold Series floors represent our finest and most uniform floors. Hand-selected, they display a consistent grain, and few knots and mineral streaks. Silver Series and Bronze Series floors display a greater diversity in naturally occurring grain, knots and mineral streaks. Click here to read our warranties.
