Chesapeake Southern Charm

In addition to the beauty of hardwood, this series has a scratch-resistant UV Urethane with Aluminum Oxide finish. The most popular type of finish for factory-finished (or prefinished) wood flooring is UV-cured urethane (or simply UV urethane). The finish is applied to the wood at the manufacturing facility, where it is then chemically toughened by UV radiation. UV urethane treatments shield the wood by erecting an artificial wall between it and the traffic above, similar to other urethane finishes. UV-cured urethane hardwood has various benefits, including an exterior that is strong, long-lasting, and stain-resistant, a barrier above wood that helps protect against physical damage, and no need for topcoat after installation. Additionally, Chesapeake Southern Charm Hardwood is wire brushed. Simply said, wire-brushing is a finishing method that results in a distressed appearance by scraping the wood planks with a hard-bristled wire brush. Youre not mistaken if you assumed that a wood floors purpose was to showcase its natural beauty. Actually, a little light distressing may add to the character and richness of the wood grain. The heartwood is exposed as the delicate growth ring grains are drawn back by brushing the wood. The end result is a textured floor with a rustic, aged appearance that is comparable to that of reclaimed or barn wood. Another great aspect of Chesapeake Southern is the 3mm top layer. With a thickness of 3mm you will rarely need to refinish your floors and they will last up to 50 years. One great advantage of this plan size is the ease of installation. Southern Hardwood requires either a nail, glue, or float instillation. Large sections may be put without transition pieces, the boards rack tightly together, and nail installation is quick. On the other side, gluing the floor down will be your finest alternative if your room or rooms have a concrete subfloor. As a result, a sizable continuous installation with few transitional components will be possible. Gluing the floor down will prevent it from expanding and contracting in areas that are extremely dry or damp. Maybe the best of all is the floating method of installation Chesapeake allows. Some benefits of floating installation include the ability to put over existing floors (such tile or older hardwood) without tearing them out and the ability to switch from wood to concrete. This series of Chesapeake hardwood comes in 8 distinct brown tones that are adaptable enough to go well with the various color tones in a space. The deeper Chesapeake Southern Charm Sweet Tea will contrast beautifully with a space that is normally furnished in lighter hues. In a same vein, lighter Chesapeake Southern Charm Cresent Moon flooring can truly tie all the accents of a space together if your living room has darker walls and furnishings.
