How To Choose An Austin Performance Plus Hardwood Flooring

1 PERFORMANCE PLUS PERFORMANCE HARDWOOD

2 Outer beauty. Inner strength. Plenty of hardwood floors claim to be tougher than anything you can throw at them. But most are only protected on the surface. Underneath they are just like any other hardwood floor. Armstrong Performance Plus floors are different. Performance Plus hardwood is tough inside and out. It starts with top quality hardwood, which gets infused with liquid acrylic to make the wood itself more than twice as hard. Then, it s further protected with the Armstrong Lifetime Finish, our toughest finish. Twice the protection, for resistance to dents and gouges as well as scratches and scuffs. PERFORMANCE PLUS Hardwood that s as tough as you are inside and out 2 Armstrong Performance Plus Birch Marsh Field ESP5302LG (Low Gloss)

4 Uncompromising style Innovation means never having to compromise style for the sake of durability. A full range of colors and species featured in 5 wide planks that add a sense of fashion and sophistication to any room. All you have to do is choose. Instead of being limited to species typically considered appropriate for active homes and high-traffic rooms, you can choose from six species based entirely on your style preferences. From the subtle elegance of cherry to the bold variation of walnut, simply choose the look you love. Color is purely a matter of personal preference, too. Light and natural, warm and red or rich and dark there is no wrong answer. The Performance Plus collection even has white-washed looks and shades of gray that are lighting up the home fashion world. And who says you have to choose just one? Stripes, borders and accent colors make a oneof-a-kind statement. Gloss level is also a key style choice. High gloss is considered a more formal and traditional hardwood look, while low gloss is more casual and contemporary. 4 Armstrong Performance Plus Maple Misty Forest ESP5311LG (Low Gloss) White Oak Coastline ESP5315LG (Low Gloss)

8 Hardwood style for any lifestyle From dachshunds to Dobermans, toddlers to teens, Performance Plus flooring has the strength inside and out to stand up to everyday life in even the busiest home. In fact, it s so tough, it is even a great choice for small business spaces. Durable dent resistance is ensured by the patented acrylic infusion process, which literally fills in the gaps in the wood cells with acrylic, making even soft species like cherry, birch and walnut harder than oak. That means less lasting evidence of everyday life on your floor. ORDINARY HARDWOOD PERFORMANCE PLUS HARDWOOD Ordinary hardwood has open cells. Acrylic infusion fills open cells and strengthens the wood. Ultimate scratch resistance is provided by the Armstrong Lifetime Finish. Nano particles in the finish create a powerful layer of scratch protection without clouding the beauty of the hardwood beneath. It s our toughest finish and the ultimate protection against scratches, wear and stains. COMPETITOR S FINISH ARMSTRONG LIFETIME FINISH 8 Armstrong Performance Plus

9 Twice as hard as ordinary wood Some species are naturally harder than others, but with Performance Plus hardwood even softer species are made hard enough to withstand life in an active home. This chart compares the hardness of ordinary wood and Performance Plus hardwood of the same species as measured by the Janka test. The industry standard test measures the force required to leave an indentation in the wood. The higher the number, the harder the wood.
