  • Publication number: 20070130881
    Abstract: A wood plank which is dimensionally stable and moisture resistant includes a sealant layer on at least four of its sides. A geometric variation (e.g., tongue and groove) may be located on at least one side of the dimensionally stable wood. The sealant layer may be applied to the tongue and groove as well. A method for manufacturing the dimensionally stable wood is also described.

  • Publication number: 20060278306
    Abstract: This process, unique to the flooring industry, includes moulding, sanding, and then adding dimensional stability and moisture resistance to solid wood flooring by sealing all six sides of each piece. In addition to the moisture resistance and superior dimensional stability, accurate moulding and minimal precision sanding result in optimum fit, less overwood. The final result is a prefinished floor that rivals that of a jobsite finished floor.

  • Publication number: 20060277861
    Abstract: This process, unique to the flooring industry, includes moulding and then adding dimensional stability and moisture resistance to solid wood flooring by sealing all six sides of each piece. In addition to the moisture resistance and superior dimensional stability, accurate moulding results in optimum fit and therefore less sanding needed at the job site. The final result is a floor with all the desirable characteristics of a jobsite finished floor and the added value of dimensional stability and moisture resistance throughout the life of the floor.
