Hardened Wood Floor by Valinge 8x1/4 in. - Earth Gray Oak

There is nothing quite like our new floors. No, really. They’re so innovative and revolutionary we have created a whole new category of floors — we call it Hardened Wood Flooring. The unmistakable feel and luxury of a real wood floor combined with next-level durability and resistance to water.

We couldn’t be happier to introduce our new hardened wood floor collection — featuring 11 unique designs for you to explore and available right up to luxurious XXL formats. Our entire range features the incredible patented Woodura® surface technology and 5G® Dry™ fold down system — making our real wood floors 3–5 times stronger than traditional hardwood floors, a breeze to install, and waterproof — all at a great price.

Woodura® – More solid than a solid plank. The magic’s in the layers.

The patented Woodura® surface technology is based on fusing a thin sheet of wood with a Compositek™ core through a powder mix layer. The powder mix perfectly fills up the natural openings of the wood and enhances the wood's appearance. It also eliminates the need for a wood-filler and creates a significantly stronger surface with a hardness three times greater than a traditional solid wood floor. The Woodura® surface technology enables 10 times more flooring to be produced from the same amount of lumber compared to traditional engineered wood flooring.

5G® Dry™ waterproof technology with a high moisture resistant Compositek™ core.

5G® Dry™ is a fold-down installation system that provides enhanced water resistance by preventing water from penetrating into the joints of the floor panels. With greater protection to withstand the mess of everyday chaos such as spills, this innovation makes floors both incredibly easy to install and to live with. In wood-based floorings, 5G® Dry™ contributes to significantly lower edge swelling, thereby ensuring that the floor both looks and feels better despite being subjected to wet mopping, accidents, and other events resulting from everyday use.
