Välinge announced that wood flooring manufacturer Nydree Flooring, based in Forest Park, Va., will launch flooring products using the patented Woodura surface technology in the North American market. The products will be manufactured in Sweden by Välinge Innovation and distributed by Nydree under the Maverick name. Nydree’s Maverick collection will initially consist of seven oak-based UV-finished products.
Nydree has been a producer of wood floors since 2001 and is known for its acrylic-infused engineered wood flooring. Woodura is a reinforced wood surface created by fusing a thin sheet of wood onto a wood fiber core through a powder mix layer. The product is engineered to create “a hardness about three times greater than a traditional solid oak layer,” according to the company.
