ArmstrongFlooring® Commercial Hardwood: Durable Office Flooring for Modern Business Facilities
If you own a business or manage a facility, you know the struggle: you want that warm, impressive look of real wood for your lobby or conference room, but you're terrified of what high heels, coffee spills, and constant foot traffic will do to it. Usually, you settle for "wood-look" vinyl or tile. But what if you didn't have to compromise? ArmstrongFlooring® has figured out a way to give you the genuine article—100% real hardwood—that is tough enough to handle the daily grind of your business.
Real Wood, Reimaged for Real Business
ArmstrongFlooring® isn't new to the game; they have a long history of creating floors that work as hard as you do. Their latest mission with their Commercial Hardwood line is simple: take natural timber and use science to make it better. They value quality and innovation, ensuring that when you invest in your property, that investment lasts. It's about giving your workspace the prestige it deserves without adding a maintenance headache to your to-do list.
The Secret Sauce: TimberTones™ Technology
You might be wondering, "How can real wood survive my busy office?" The answer lies in a really cool process called TimberTones™. Here is the non-technical breakdown:
- Densified Wood: Armstrong takes natural wood veneers and subjects them to extreme heat and pressure. This squeezes out the air pockets inside the wood, making it incredibly dense. The result? A floor that is 6X more dent-resistant than standard wood floors. It’s like turning a soft pine board into a surface as hard as a rock.
- Hydropel™ Technology: We all know wood and water don't mix. But these floors come with Hydropel™, a special coating that seals the surface. It offers waterproof protection for up to 8 hours. If someone spills a latte in the breakroom, it won't ruin the floor before the cleaning crew gets to it.
- Built-in Hygiene: In a shared workspace, cleanliness is key. These floors feature an antimicrobial treatment right in the finish to stop bacteria from growing on the surface.
Ideas for Upgrading Your Commercial Space
Not sure where to start? Here are a few practical ways to use these tough hardwood floors to boost your facility's appeal:
- The "Wow" Factor Lobby: First impressions matter. Swap out tired carpet for Walnut or Hickory hardwood in your entryway. Because of the densification process, even these distinct species are hard enough to handle guests rolling in suitcases or delivery carts.
- Cozy Conference Rooms: Hard surfaces like tile can make meeting rooms echo. Wood naturally dampens sound better than tile. Use TimberTones™ to create a quiet, professional atmosphere for your client pitches.
- High-End Retail Display: If you run a shop, use these floors to frame your merchandise. The 4X better scratch resistance means you can rearrange displays and racks without panicking about scuffing the floor.
Designed with the Facility Manager in Mind
ArmstrongFlooring® knows you don't have time for complicated upkeep. They designed these floors to be as user-friendly as possible for business owners:
- Low Maintenance: You won't need special, expensive treatments to keep it looking new. The hardened surface resists dirt and grime, making standard cleaning routines effective.
- Made in the USA: Manufactured in Somerset, Kentucky, these floors are readily available without waiting for overseas shipments. Plus, buying American-made products supports local industry.
- Sustainability You Can Brag About: If your company has "green" goals, this flooring helps. It is FloorScore® Certified for low chemical emissions, which keeps the air in your office healthy for your employees.
Conclusion
