Distinctive features

• Engineered flooring (SolidGenius, Engenius and PreLoc) provides more structural stability than a traditional solid hardwood floor, allowing you more flexibility to work below grade and with species sensitive to changes in temperature and moisture such as exotic species.
• SolidGenius is constructed with a 5/32 in (4 mm) sawn wear (lamella) attached to a 11 ply (19/32 in or 15 mm) birch plywood to ensure maximum stability and performance.
• The 3/4 in (19 mm) thickness transitions smoothly with other floor coverings for an easy installation.
• The top wear layer is produced by a unique sawing method recreating the look and feel of a traditional solid hardwood floor.
• All glue used in the manufacturing of this product does not generate any VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), which allows the SolidGenius series to meet and exceed the high CARB II standards and can also qualify you for LEED credits.
• Preverco uses a unique procedure to ensure high quality control for all its plywood structured products, making it a leader in the industry.
• Random board lengths, ranging from 12 in (30.5 cm) to 78 in (195 cm).

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 eight distinct grades based on selection criteria among the strictest in the industry.

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.

Consult our grades book to learn more about the different grades offered.
