“The certified refinishable logo is a simple way to provide an architect, designer, or consumer with confidence that an engineered wood flooring product has been designed to withstand the test of time, change its look, and be renewed,” says Michael Martin, President & CEO of the National Wood Flooring Association. “We are encouraged by the large number of early adopters, and how quickly the refinishable logo is making its way into the marketplace.”
To be eligible to carry the certified refinishable logo, engineered wood flooring products must meet minimum wear layer requirements. These vary depending on the product. Unfinished smooth products must have a minimum wear layer of 4/32 of an inch, or 3.2 millimeters. Factory finished smooth products must have a minimum wear layer of 3/32 of an inch, or 2.5 millimeters. Sculpted and distressed products must have a minimum wear layer of 3/32 of an inch, or 2.5 millimeters.
