  • Flooring board with a thin veneer wood aesthetic and durable surface
    Patent number: 10576715
    Abstract: A flooring board having a plurality of layers may have a sufficiently high modified Janka hardness rating for use in general flooring applications. The flooring board may comprise a fiberboard core layer having a thin veneer layer of a natural wood species adhered to a surface of the core layer. The veneer layer may be a gymnosperm (softwood) or angiosperm (hardwood) having a low Janka hardness rating. Surprisingly, the flooring board has a high modified Janka hardness rating significantly higher than the Janka hardness rating of the natural wood species and sufficient for use in general flooring applications when the veneer layer is sufficiently thin.
