" Tim -- is here from clear it's. Flooring we're gonna learn about. Another type of is a laminated flooring product. It's an engineered high performance wood floor engineered high performance wood floor -- lay it down on something that you've put down over accident -- The -- combo system underlayment. It's great to be compatible with our floor and guarantee a fifteen year. Wear and moisture protection here so it keeps the moisture from coming through the slab that's where the tape is here you've got to tape it down. Let's get any decisive we don't get in the way of Joel's installation down here now. Tell me how to install. He would he has inserted the wedge underneath the butt and the short end of the previously installed board -- and then he taps the long seam together. -- So it's essentially a tongued and grooved system stuff and it's. It overlaps right correct. Tribute to install it -- about 845 degree angle. To bypass the locking system IC. And so he's just fitting in a small piece in the back here and that's I guess one of the key things is to use that steel wedge to lift up your work -- record. As you put it together so. So there's a floating system do you keep it about a half an -- important front on the perimeter -- about a half. Okay. Now what's the construction -- the head of the floors real work. -- will be wear layer is actually we'll look. They wear layer the surface what we -- us what will surface itself is an acrylic finish on top of sliced wear layer. Of real wood so there really what is a veneer like this correct. -- And we would then we place that it's laminated on top of -- high density fiber board and then pine backing for balance. The whole the whole theory of this floor is that the impact resistance is from the high density fiber core and not the species of wood. For example this was a cherry floor in the esplanade construction -- be of to a stronger. Recorder -- From the denting perspective correct. That's very interesting and then the possibility of damage is slim but if you had to do some sort of repair how do you go about it. You go to the easiest side of the room to dismantle the floor she's fatally damaged -- coordinate it's -- like puzzle pieces you let them apart. Reinstall minor damage can be fixed with a as you've mentioned this particular case. Word -- and I guess that refers to the name of this this stuff. For -- it's the brand name of this particular line."
" So the backside is essentially like -- plywood that's behind. They got a kind. Cook. There you have it now what other finishes can you get this in. It's available in of course the red oak that we installed here walnut beech maple cherry white those embers were injured and resilient chair correct. Wonderful and what about warranties with a floor like this fifteen year wear and finished. Where and finish and moisture protection and moisture protection now as the finish gets damaged after fifteen years or whatever you refinish. What -- you can actually recall at this floor with a compatible waterborne finish such as those made by bona coming."
