Revwood Flooring

Another manufacturer that Bram Flooring sells and installs is RevWood, made by Mohawk. Mohawk has been making floors for more than 100 hundred years.

RevWood has a pressed core made of High-Density Fiberboard (HDF), a real wood core (made of fast-growing southern pine). Like laminate, it features a high-quality image layer (which makes it look like wood) and an extremely durable wear layer.

RevWood’s image layer is not just a high-resolution image—it's embossed. That means that RevWood doesn’t just look exactly like real hardwood. It feels exactly like it too!

RevWood planks are embossed for an ultra-realistic feel. It looks like real wood and has the durability of laminate. It is extremely scratch-resistant and almost impossible to dent. Some versions even have a waterproof topcoat. RevWood floors are made in the USA.

RevWood is available in three versions:

1 | RevWood

Is water-resistant, but not waterproof. Spills need to be wiped up as soon as possible. Because it's not waterproof, it's best to avoid installing it in a kitchen or bathroom.

2 | RevWood Select

Is fade-resistant, scratch-resistant, and more water-resistant than RevWood. It comes with a 10-year warranty for the waterproof topcoat. The laminate layer uses the Mohawk Hydroseal technology to keep water out. It also uses a UniClic, a glue-free locking system that keeps water from seeping between the planks. The Select planks trap liquids on the surface, giving you time to catch spills.

3 | RevWood Plus

Is fade-resistant, scratch-resistant, and ultra-waterproof. It's safe to wet mop. It combines the Hydroseal layer and UniClic technology of the Select line with a unique beveled edge. Do not let any moisture get under the flooring so as not to void Mohawk's waterproof warranty. This edging makes the flooring look like real hardwood and offers even more moisture protection.

If you install RevWood yourself, it is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions to a T. Proper installation is paramount to getting the most out of its benefits and staying within the warranty.

Each of the RevWood systems has a different warranty. If you have pets, consider the RevWood Plus flooring.

If you have vinyl flooring now, you may want to ask your contractor or retailer to come over and inspect it.

“Homeowners need to know that the contractor who installs or comes to repair vinyl flooring knows what they are doing.
