Techno-Floors!

I am always amazed at the technological advances in the flooring industry. After all, I am old school. Back in the day, when we refinished a wood floor, we would slap on a coat of varnish then come back in a few days and wax it. There was never any mention of warranties. But times have changed. Now we have these new urethanes that have 25 year wear warranties.
One manufacturer, Mirage, uses Nanolinx Technology. A patented process supplied to Mirage by an outside source, the wood mill has incorporated particles, or Nanosilica, into the finish that are less than 100 nanometers in size, or one-billionth of a meter. Wow! Other wood flooring manufacturers use a similar process only they add aluminum oxide or ceramic particles. Mannington has just come out with a nitrogen-cured commercial floor.
Zaxxon has a floor that is called Ionique. Walking on it increases the negative ion count in your indoor air. Who thinks this stuff up? So today, as I head off to our annual trade show, I will once again be amazed at all the new technology. But just between us, there is nothing that looks as good as a freshly waxed wood floor!
