Learning Objectives
Describe the latest innovation in hardwood flooring -- a floating system -- and the benefits it delivers to the designer and the occupant. Discuss how these floors use materials and manufacturing processes that support net-zero goals, LEED certification, and biophilic design. Explain the simple and fast installation process that self-aligns and requires no training/certification, no nails or glue, and no on-site finishing. Describe the process of easily removing and repairing/replacing a plank if damaged, extending the floor’s use-life for generations. Explain how using locally-sourced timber, pre-finishing, reducing installation time, and extending use-life significantly reduces the life-time cost of the flooring.

TimSpecify Today’s Hardwood Floors with Confidence
FREE
With a long history of specifying hardwood floors, architects and builders understand the benefits and challenges of working with the material. There’s no doubt that occupants of residential and commercial buildings love the look and feel of hardwoods under their feet. But specifiers may presume that hardwood floors are more expensive and that an alternative product may install and repair easier. Architects may also be concerned that the wood is sustainably sourced. Innovation in today’s solid-hardwood floors delivers renewed confidence to specifiers. This course will describe the floating hardwood floor and the solutions it brings to green building, to ease of installation and repair, and to beauty that will last for generations.
Credits: 1 AIA HSW + 1 GBCI (USGBC/CAGBC) + 1 AIBD Primary + 1 Sustainable Design + 1 AIBC Core LU + 1 AAA Structured LU + 1 OAA, OAQ, SAA, MAA, AAPEI, NWTAA
