The most budget-friendly option is the RevWood, which comes with as many as 75 design options that are water-resistant but not waterproof. For more protection against spills, the RevWood Select line offers a 10-year warranty for its waterproof topcoat. This type of flooring also features wider and longer planks for a sophisticated look twice as durable as other laminates.

For even greater waterproofing, Mohawk developed the RevWood Plus line. This type of laminate has an extra layer of protection from moisture that makes it perfect for any room in the house – from damp basements to bathrooms and kitchens – without worrying about water seeping between planks or scratches damaging the surface. It also uses signature technology to capture natural designs of various wood species with exceptional detail and Uniclic technology for easy installation.

And if you love rustic charm, then check out Rare Vintage collection with embossed textures to give it a real hardwood feel. All these collections offer great scratch resistance and easy maintenance, so you can enjoy them worry-free for years!

RevWood vs Hardwood

With Mohawk’s deep graining and colour variations rivalling natural hardwood’s look, any room can be transformed with a RevWood laminate flooring collection. Plus, their Uniclic joint system allows for easy installation, and GenuEdge pressed bevel edges give extra protection against water damage. And with Pet Protection coverage in their warranty, you know your floors will stand up to even your most active family members.

RevWood Plus takes it one step further by offering advanced waterproof protection that won’t break the bank. It utilizes both Hydroseal technology and a UniClic locking system to keep liquids on top of the planks until you have time to clean them up. This makes it perfect for wet or steam mopping without worrying about water seeping between planks. And its embossed texture gives an incredibly realistic wood look that is scratch-resistant and as durable as any hardwood floor.

The Select line also has some unique benefits. It has a 10-year warranty for its waterproof topcoat and resistance to scratches and stains.

You can choose classic colours like cool gray, warm chestnut, or a beachy feel with the Boardwalk Collective’s rustic tones inspired by driftwood.

For your rooms that may get wetter than others, such as laundry rooms or bathrooms, you can turn to RevWood Plus. Its waterproof layer keeps out moisture while offering the look of real hardwood. This product also features Mohawk’s Antique Craft collection, which provides embossed textures for a realistic wood look in five different colours that appear naturally time-worn and aged – perfect if you want something more characterful!

RevWood comes in three categories.

RevWood Collection

Looking for stylish and modern flooring options for your home? Look no further than Mohawk’s regular RevWood range! With four different styles to choose from – Rivercrest, Chalet Vista, Carrolton, and Kingmire – you can choose 28 different colours to match your decor perfectly.

Not only do these styles offer a beautiful modern hardwood look, but they also provide the durability and convenience of laminate flooring. Mohawk’s RevWood range is the perfect choice for anyone looking for the best of both worlds in their flooring. You can choose from 5.25” x 47” or 7.5” x 47” depending on the specific needs of your home.

It’s important to remember that it’s not waterproof. So, if you spill something, be sure to wipe it up right away. While it can handle moderate wear and tear, we recommend avoiding installing RevWood in kitchens or bathrooms where water damage is more likely to occur. However, it’s the perfect choice for your living room or bedroom, where spills are less common. And because of its lower price point, it’s a great option for larger rooms that need to be covered. Taking care of your RevWood can last as long as you need, providing a durable and stylish solution for your flooring needs.

RevWood Select Collection:

And if you opt for the Boardwalk Collection, you can bring beachy vibes to your home with colours inspired by driftwood.

RevWood Select uses two advanced technologies to keep water out: Hydroseal and UniClic. The former creates an impenetrable seal, while the latter locks each plank together without using glue, trapping liquids on the surface so you have time to clean up spills. This makes it perfect for bedrooms or living rooms where minor splashes are likely. This is very similar to the same technology Torlys NatureTEK uses to make their waterproof laminate flooring.

The RevWood Plus product takes things even further with its Antique Craft collection featuring embossed texture for a truly realistic wood look in five colours that appear naturally time-worn. This laminate is resistant to scratching and pet messes, and its waterproof layer allows easy cleaning – make sure not to let moisture seep between planks!

RevWood Installation

Now that you have chosen the perfect RevWood flooring for your home, it’s time to start thinking about installation. Installing Mohawk RevWood is easy and hassle-free, and with a few simple steps, you can have beautiful floors in no time. Here are some tips on how to install RevWood successfully:

First, ensure your subfloor is level and clean of debris before installing any floor underlayment. This will ensure that your new floor has an even surface to support it. It’s also important to undercut door frames and wall base so the flooring fits snugly underneath them. Additionally, leave a 3/8” minimum expansion space for each plank of flooring around all edges of the room.

Next, unpack the planks and let them acclimate in the room where they will be installed if there isn’t enough time for this step then make sure there is no more than 25° F difference between the stocking environment and installation environment. Once everything is ready, begin laying out the planks starting from one corner of the room, leaving a 3/8″gap between walls for expansion purposes. You may need to cut down certain planks depending on their size or shape and trace the wall contour onto the tongue side of the plank before cutting if the walls are uneven.

When joining planks together, use either two spacers thick side-to-thick side equals 3/8” or use an alternate tap method aligning tongues into grooves of long and short sides, then tapping lightly along the long side until the joint is closed tightly before tapping the end using the tapping block into locked position ensuring not to use excessive force which could damage joints. After completing the last row, make sure there is still at least an 8” gap between walls for expansion before cleaning up any extra debris created during the installation process and enjoy an extraordinary performance from the newly installed Mohawk RevWood!

RevWood Maintenance

Keeping your RevWood flooring looking its best requires regular maintenance and care. There are certain steps you should take to keep your floors in top shape:

• Floor Protection: Place felt floor protectors under legs of moveable furniture. Chair casters should be rubber – not plastic or metal. Place walk-off mats at entrances to reduce tracked dirt and debris, which can wear down the dense HDF core material and laminate cores over time.
• Everyday Household Spills: Dust mop as primary cleaning method, occasionally wet mop with water only, using a well-wrung-out mop; DO NOT pour liquid directly on the floor or use an excessively wet mop that will puddle or leave moisture on the floor.
• Modern Performance Standards: Mohawk’s RevWood Plus line features waterproof technology that guards against everyday household spills and pet messes while meeting modern performance standards demanded by today’s discerning consumers. Its UNICLIC technology makes it easy to install for DIYers or professionals alike, so you can enjoy lasting beauty with minimal effort.

Whether you’re looking for a classic hardwood look or something more contemporary, RevWood has a look that fits your style and your budget — all while providing exceptional performance and protection for up to 25 years with normal wear and tear!

Can RevWood laminate flooring be used in outdoor spaces?

Does RevWood laminate flooring require any special cleaning?

How do I seal the perimeter of my Revwood Flooring?

To keep Revwood floors waterproof for life, it’s important to prevent liquids from getting underneath. This is done by using silicone sealant along the edges. RevWood Premier, Plus, and Select floors can resist spills, but the edges lose their protection when cut. Sealing the perimeter with silicone helps keep moisture on the surface. Or, you can use Waterproof Quarter Round with a built-in seal. This will keep the warranty comprehensive.

How do you choose the best wood flooring?

Hardwood floors are beautiful, long-lasting, and simple to maintain. However, they can show signs wear and tear. Here are five tips for making an informed decision when replacing hardwood floors.

1. You can determine if you are able to replace hardwood floors yourself. This is a crucial step because it allows you to determine if you should hire a professional or do-it yourselfer to replace your hardwood floors. For most flooring projects homeowners should hire professionals. However, there are times when it makes sense to tackle the project yourself. It may be worth it if you have previous experience with woodworking to take on the project.
2. How much money you want to spend. There are two options for determining how much your hardwood floors will cost. Either an estimate based upon square footage (SF), or you can calculate the total cost per foot. Multiply the square footage in your home by $6 to $30 to determine the price per SF. Then add additional costs such as installation fees, rip-out, baseboards and delivery.
3. Choose the hardwood flooring that is best suited for your home. There are two main wood types: engineered and solid. Engineered is Vancouver’s most popular type of wood. This is due to the environmental factors like humidity and personal style preferences. You must also decide what type of wood to use. Some of the most popular species are Maple, Oak, Hickory, Birch and Walnut.
4. The right colour, texture, or sheen will be chosen for hardwood flooring. Consider that your hardwood flooring is in every room and that you are physically in direct contact with it every day. You should choose a colour or stain that will match your home’s style and decor.
5. Select the right contractor for the job. Once you have made the decision to replace hardwood floors it is time for a professional contractor. Asking your family and friends to refer you is the best way to find one. You can also check online directories like Better Business Bureau. It’s a major decision to have hardwood floors replaced. These five tips can help you be confident that you are making the right decision for you home.

How To

How to do a successful floor install in Vancouver

1. Professionals should install your floors because mistakes can cost more in the long run.
2. Remove your old flooring with care. Moving old flooring can be costly, particularly if it’s carpet or a floating one.
3. You might want to buy more material to cover waste. Standard waste is 10%. If you have staircases and hallways, it would be a good idea to reduce waste.
4. A company or licensed flooring contractor should be used, especially if you are living in a strata structure.
5. Install the planks so that your primary windows are on the longer side.
6. Before you deliver or install the product, make sure to measure the job site conditions. Install laminate or hardwood flooring only in areas with high humidity, such as full bathrooms and laundry rooms.
7. At least 48 hours should be given for your flooring material’s temperature to adjust before you install it. Some wood species take three to four times longer to adjust.
8. Before you install any planks, check for damage. Do not place damaged planks.
9. Make sure your subfloor is level and flat. Your subfloor must be leveled to industry standards. Uneven subfloors can result in problems like telegraph wire effects, hollow spots and others.
10. Vancouver strata buildings require IIC and STC numbers greater 72. Before you commit, be sure to check the strata bylaws.
11. Most strata buildings in Metro Vancouver also require a minimum of $2 million in liability insurance and good standing with work-safe BC from your flooring company. These documents should be requested from your flooring contractor.
12. Use felt pads for all your furniture to avoid scratches immediately after installation.
