Article | Kennesaw, Ga.—Following its successful entry into the hardwood category with TimberLoc, Witex is expanding its offerings with Wood Reflections. “This is the latest step in our strategy to not only be the number one brand in hard surface flooring at retail,” said Steve Newman, Witex’ president and CEO,” but also to be the single source supplier of today’s most sought after styles.” Wood Reflections is a collection of engineered planks with real wood surfaces and features Witex’ glueless, interlocking technology similar to what is found on its laminate flooring products. In addition, Wood Reflections is offered with or without the manufacturer’s pre-attached and pre-trimmed sound reducing backing, Silent Comfort. “Since not all consumers have the same needs with regard to their flooring, we’re giving them a choice,” Newman said. “It’s also a great sell-up opportunity for dealers.” Wood Reflections is featured in some of the most popular shades and species, including Natural Maple, Natural Oak, Golden Oak and Gunstock Oak. To create the line, the wood is bonded to a strong, high-density fiberboard core engineered and manufactured by Witex. To protect the natural wood, a wear layer of aluminum oxide is used. Even with the protective wear layer, Newman noted the company was able to maintain the natural variations and character of the wood. The line comes with a 15-year residential warranty. The collection also features Witex’ glueless interlocking installation system, meaning the floor can be walked on immediately after it is installed. “The entire process to produce the floor takes pains,” Newman explained, “as we have made certain that even though we are providing a low-cost gluefree floor, it is of the highest-value.” For more information on Wood Reflections or any of Witex’ other products, call 800/948-3987. |
