The hardness of RealWood Floors

When choosing your hardwood flooring it is essential to take into account not only its appearance but the hardness as well. It is worth choosing a harder wood species rather than a softer one for areas where hard wear is expected: children playing, pets, stiletto heels, a busy entrance hall.

In the table below, the hardness of the different wood species are compared to oak whose reference value is 100. The Brinell scale is the hardness value the wood species has acquired in a standardised test. The higher the figure, the harder the wood.

The hardness of wood is measured according to the Brinell EN 1534:2000 standard and given as a Brinell value. In the measurement, a steel ball of 10 mm is pressed against the finished hardwood board at a force of 100 kg. The resultant indentation is measured, and the result is calculated as defined by the standard. The Brinell value is the average of several measured results.

Solid three-layer construction

Wood expands and contracts along with changes in humidity and temperature. These qualities are minimised in Upofloor hardwood floorings with a three-layer structure which keeps the hardwood flooring in shape and guides the potential movement towards the expansion gap between the wall and hardwood flooring and towards any eventual expansion joint.

Factory finished surfaces

Upotop Varnish: the boards are varnished with six layers of UV-hardened polyurethane acrylate finish.
Ecotop Oil Treatment: the boards are treated with pure vegetable oils and waxes.

Easy installation

Upofloor RealWood flooring is ready for use immediately after installation, as the surface has been prefinished at the factory.
