engineered wood flooring is ideal for glue,
staple or nail-down applications and installs directly onto most
concrete floors in your condominium or house. Unlike other engineered
wood flooring companies, Melrose offers many advantages like:
Sliced
Sawn Veneer
MELROSE
is a manufacturer of multiple lines. These lines include, prefinished
oak, ash and maple planking. This variety of product lines allows
us the unique opportunity to select only the best-sliced veneers
for this engineered wood flooring. Only the best quality of lumber
is selected, sorted and cut for the product line. Each and every
board goes through numerous quality control stages before the veneer
will be considered for the MELROSE Engineered Series.
Hardwood
Backing
Melrose,
because of its product line versatility can manufacture a backing
for this series from Edge Grain hardwoods. Edge Grain hardwood is
extremely tough in both wearing and strength. We have selected this
cut of lumber primarily for its expansion and contraction properties.
For the most part, the movement of this cut of lumber is minimal
both during humid and dry conditions. The benefit from such a backing
is greater stability under various extremes of environment conditions.
Each project sites' humidity levels vary not only in new construction
but as well as retrofitting to an older site.
The edge grain hardwood backing is precision manufactured and assembled
using an aluminum spine, which is stamped into the surface of the
product to ensure that each piece is spaced approximately 1.5mm.
The spacing is crucial to the performance of our line because it
allows for the flexibility in its bending and twist; turn properties,
which very few products can acclaim.
GATORTUF
Finishing
Gatortuf
is the latest technology using UV titanium crystals finishing techniques.
From the types of coating available, we selected UV sealers, stains
and finishes all of which are chemically bonded together at interval
possessing system. Titanium crystal sealers are applied over the
stain coating to help prevent the veneers from cracking and splitting.
A special technique of grain filling is performed so that each board
is smooth and that the multiple coats of titanium crystal finish
flow evenly across the board. At each interval during application
of finishes, UV radiant lamps are used to cure each coating as it
progresses to the next station.
Polyurethane Bonding Adhesive
Melrose has developed, along with the adhesive manufactures, a State
of the Art Adhesive Bonding Agent. When applied to our Edge Grain
Hardwood Backing, the adhesive bonds the veneer to the backing.
This adhesive allows the MELROSE Series to become extremely
flexible not only in its bending properties but also in the twist
and stress applications of the veneer and hardwood backing.
