Now Featuring Lauzon Hardwood
October 13, 2010
Clayton Flooring Inc. is proud to introduce Lauzon Distinctive Hardwood Flooring to its premium hardwood lineup! Since the company began production of pre-finished hardwood floors, Lauzon has continually raised the bar for quality and superior grading. In addition, they are a proudly Canadian company!
The following are 5 reasons to choose Lauzon (taken from http://www.lauzonltd.com/about/5-reasons-to-choose-lauzon/):
1- Titanium Traffic
LAUZON’s Polynium + with Titanium Traffic finish is standard on ALL PRODUCTS. Renowned for its exceptional clarity and resistance to damage, it allows the wood’s original beauty and vibrancy to shine through, along with:
• Long-lasting abrasion resistance to maintain the wood floor’s original
appearance – more resistant than any other leading brand
• An easy-to-clean surface which uses nanotechnology to
quickly disperse surface dirt
• A 25-year wear-through finish warranty
• A 5-year wear-through finish warranty for light commercial applications
2- Dry Solid Sawn Flooring
• Unlike any other engineered floors, LAUZON’s NextStep floors look like solid hardwood floors, thanks to a dry solid-sawn process that ensures an expert cut of kiln-dried wood for the top layer.
• With a dry solid-sawn process, the natural color variations, consistency and beautiful grain of the species are maintained, and the floor can be re-sanded if necessary.
• Other manufacturers use rotary-peeled or sliced surfaces, which involve soaking the wood in a softening solution that yellows its color. These surfaces are often too thin for re-sanding, and can show undesirable end checks, chipped corners and edge splinters.
3- 5 inch NextStep flooring
Wide planks are attracting more and more consumer interest, which is why LAUZON created a 5 3/16’’ Wide NextStep flooring choice. Manufactured in the same tradition as all our quality engineered floors, the 5 3/16’’ Wide NextStep offering combines fashionable wide-plank beauty with LAUZON product excellence.
With an oversized width of 5 3/16”, the NextStep collection is wider than most wide planks available from other manufacturers. And LAUZON is the only manufacturer to offer the possibility of combining 3 ¼” planks with 5 3/16” planks in a single installation, for truly stunning results. NexStep 5 3/16’’ Wide Flooring (with Micro-V beveled edges) is also suitable for floating installations.
4- Micro-V or Square Edge… What’s your choice?
Our NextStep engineered floors offers two quality options:
Micro-V
Visually, this traditional beveled edge adds beautiful dimension
and depth to the flooring surface.
Square Edge
For a visually smooth surface, choose a perfect square edge
that ensures a flawless fit and seamless finish.
5- Antimicrobial protection
LAUZON offers scientifically-proven antimicrobial protection for all its wood flooring products. Laboratory tests have shown the effectiveness of Ultra-Fresh* in providing long-lasting resistance against microbes, bacteria, surface mold, odors, mildew and fungi, which are not only a potentially-harmful nuisance to home-dwellers, but can cause deterioration of the wood. This treatment is part of LAUZON’s Polynium + with Titanium Traffic standard finish, thereby offering superior protection.
