Choose from 16 stunning colors in Oak or White Oak in 5″ boards, available in Character or Exclusive grades. Each floorboard boasts a 1.5 mm wear layer with a durable matte finish, guaranteed for 35 years against wear-through for residential applications, for beauty that lasts decades.
Discover the innovation behind our Lock floorboards, meticulously engineered for exceptional stability and durability while using six times less wood than conventional 3/4" solid boards. Lock technology is a budget-friendly and user-friendly hardwood flooring choice, effortlessly enhancing your home's esthetics, and adding value.
With a total thickness of 7/16", its 3-ply construction maintains resilience over radiant heating systems and in a broad relative humidity range of 30% to 60%. Each Lock plank undergoes precision milling for quick and straightforward assembly, eliminating gaps, unevenness, and squeaks.
Lock technology features 3 distinct layers offering many advantages.
The 1.5 mm top layer of genuine hardwood, whether crafted from dry-sawn Oak or White Oak, mirrors the authentic beauty of solid boards, steering clear of the repetitive patterns found in vinyl hardwood imitations.
The substantial wear layer is enhanced with premium protective finishes—DuraMatt® for White Oak and a slightly glossier DuraMatt®X finish for Oak. These exclusive finishes contain antimicrobial agents for a safe environment and offer 20 times more wear resistance than conventional oil finishes. Backed by a 35-year warranty on finish wear-through for residential applications and a 3-year warranty for light commercial use, these finishes guarantee enduring value for your flooring investment.
The unique 7.5 mm thick high-density fiber core (HDF), mounted on a 2 mm wood backing board and tailored specifically for Lock technology, is made from responsibly sourced wood fibers to enhance stability compared to materials like MDF. It also minimizes sensitivity to humidity fluctuations, ensuring a longer lifespan for the floor.

Often touted as the best way to be environmentally friendly and support your community, buying local means just that—purchasing items manufactured near you. By purchasing goods
that are produced locally, you stimulate the economy where you live—jobs are
created or retained, families and cultures are supported, and the community thrives
and grows.
Purchasing locally also means that you have more control over quality; you know that
certain goods have been produced in a way that meets national standards, especially
in terms of responsible forest management.
Furthermore, sourcing locally reduces the transportation costs associated with your
goods. Buying local puts less strain on the environment by using less gas, and thus fewer emissions.
The interlocking design of Lock floorboards guarantees resilience while minimizing the cost of labor and materials, leading to a uniform look across your entire home.
With Välinge's innovation of the sturdy 2G™ angling installation system applied to both long and short sides, floorboards snugly interlock, saving time on spacing. The robust joints provide a tight connection on all sides, resulting in a level floor without any gaps, even in fluctuating temperatures and humidity rates (30% to 60%).
Flexible subfloor: Lock floorboards adapt to a range of subfloor types, including concrete, wood, and radiant heating systems. They can be installed below, on, or above grade. Consider floating them atop a recommended membrane, ensuring a level, clean, dry, and sound surface. Soundproofing or dampening materials can enhance comfort and acoustics in your space. The interlock design fastens the floor securely without the need for permanent attachments such as nails or adhesives, cutting down on costs.
Simple installation: Whether your floor is glued down or floated, the appeal of a swift and hassle-free process cannot be overstated. Lock floorboards check both boxes, making them a perfect choice for DIY enthusiasts. However, please keep in mind that prior experience or expert guidance is strongly recommended for a successful project.
Instructions can be summarized in 4 steps!
Prepare your floor surface and cover it with the recommended membrane. Take boards from several boxes, alternating as you go to ensure the best look.
Start in the left corner of the room. Lay the first row of boards with the groove facing you, leaving at least 1/2" gap from the wall. Install the next row, inserting the tongue into the groove at a 45˚ angle.
Press lightly on the boards to lock them in place. Use both hands to apply even pressure.
Lay subsequent rows in the same way.
In the hands of professionals, the floating method boasts an impressive 30% reduction in installation time, with no need for glue or nails, ensuring easy cleanup with a broom or mop.
Considering glue-down installation? No problem—Lock technology is compatible with that method as well. The seamless interlocking of the boards not only improves efficiency but also minimizes glue smudging compared to other flooring technologies, thanks to the simplified alignment of the boards.
Moreover, assorted board lengths ranging from 17″ to 69″ in each box not only offer a captivating visual appeal but also speed up the fitting process for added practicality.
