Core Factors Delivering Superior Wear Resistance

• Premium European Oak Veneer: We select high-grade European oak heartwood for the surface veneer, known for its dense fiber structure and natural hardness (Janka hardness rating of 1360 lbf). The tight grain of European oak provides inherent resistance to indentation and abrasion, forming the first line of defense against daily wear. Each veneer sheet is carefully selected to ensure uniform thickness (0.6-2.0mm optional) and consistent quality, laying a solid foundation for wear resistance.
• Stable Multi-Layer Composite Core: The flooring adopts a multi-layer composite core structure (typically HDF or plywood base), which enhances dimensional stability while improving overall wear performance. The high-density fiberboard (HDF) core features exceptional compression resistance and load-bearing capacity, preventing the flooring from deforming under heavy foot traffic or furniture pressure— a common cause of premature wear. The cross-layered structure of the composite core also minimizes expansion and contraction due to temperature and humidity changes, ensuring the veneer surface remains intact and free from cracks.
• Professional Wear-Resistant Surface Finishing: To further enhance wear resistance, the oak veneer surface undergoes a rigorous multi-coat finishing process. We use high-quality UV-cured polyurethane (PU) or acrylic coatings, which form a tough, transparent protective layer after curing. Depending on the application scenario, we offer different wear resistance grades (AC3 to AC5), with the top-tier AC5 grade capable of withstanding heavy commercial traffic. The UV coating not only resists scratches from shoes, furniture legs, and daily debris but also prevents fading from sunlight, maintaining the flooring’s natural oak color and grain clarity.

Wear Resistance Performance & Application Scenarios

• AC3 Grade (Residential High-Traffic): Suitable for busy residential areas such as living rooms, hallways, and kitchens. It can withstand up to 4,000 abrasion cycles, resisting wear from daily family activities, pets, and occasional furniture movement.
• AC4 Grade (Light Commercial): Ideal for light commercial spaces like small offices, boutique stores, and hotel lobbies. Withstand up to 6,000 abrasion cycles, capable of handling moderate foot traffic while maintaining aesthetic appeal.
• AC5 Grade (Heavy Commercial): Designed for high-traffic commercial areas such as large shopping malls, restaurants, and public corridors. Resists up to 9,000+ abrasion cycles, enduring continuous foot traffic and frequent cleaning without compromising surface integrity.

Additional Advantages Backed by Wear Resistance

• Easy Maintenance: The wear-resistant surface coating is stain-resistant and easy to clean. Daily maintenance only requires sweeping or mopping with a damp cloth, eliminating the need for frequent waxing or polishing. Stubborn stains can be easily removed with mild detergents without damaging the surface.
• Anti-Scratch & Anti-Indentation: The combination of dense oak veneer and tough surface coating effectively resists scratches from sharp objects (such as keys, pet claws) and indentations from heavy furniture (when used with felt pads). This reduces the need for frequent repairs or replacements, lowering long-term maintenance costs.
• Consistent Aesthetic Longevity: The wear-resistant finish prevents the oak veneer from fading or discoloring due to sunlight exposure or daily wear, ensuring the flooring retains its natural wood grain and warm tone for years. This makes it an ideal choice for spaces where long-term aesthetic consistency is desired.
