SIGMA™ Protection
Defies time and resists wear
In recent years, Preverco has invested heavily in state-of-the-art technology that enables it to perfectly control every stage of the hardwood floor manufacturing process, from wood selection to finishing. The result is SIGMA™ Protection, the most durable protection there is. SIGMA™ combines a multitude of unique benefits.

Superb UV protection
SIGMA™ incorporates the latest breakthroughs in UV protective resins to provide UV resistance that outperforms conventional finishes by far. QUV lab tests simulating exposure to UV and various climatic conditions clearly demonstrate that SIGMA™ considerably delays the onset of photochemical damage and yellowing.
Grades
This time, appearances are not deceiving!
Wood is a natural product featuring a natural variation in color and knots that reflects the tree’s age and history. To help consumers choose their floors, Preverco classifies boards by their “personality”. Preverco classifies wood in six distinct grades based on selection criteria among the strictest in the industry.
The table below shows the approximate percentage of our production used for each grade. Preverco’s high standards are reflected in the low percentage—under 35%—used for all superior grades (“Select and Better”, “Select”). This allows us to apply uniform appearance criteria from one board to the next.

Keep your guard up! Although grade names are similar from one manufacturer to the next, descriptions are not. Be careful and don’t hesitate to compare appearance. Not everyone uses the same strict classification standards. Furthermore, the percentage of total production used for better grades is generally much higher elsewhere in the industry, which affects the overall appearance of the floor. You risk disappointment should the grades of other manufacturers fail to meet your expectations.
