Robbins Timber Legends: Durable, Waterproof Wood Floors

AHF Products, a leader in innovative, high-quality flooring solutions with iconic brands like Armstrong Flooring, Bruce, and Crossville tile, proudly features Robbins Timber Legends Densified Hardwood—the real wood flooring that’s tougher, more durable, and even waterproof.

For pet owners, busy families, or anyone seeking a sustainable and long-lasting real wood option, Densified Hardwood offers a breakthrough solution. Developed using a patented densification process that applies heat and pressure to close the open cells of natural hardwood, this technology enhances performance without relying on fillers, plastics, or harmful chemicals. The result is 100% genuine wood, engineered to work in every room of the home, including kitchens and bathrooms.

“Hardwood flooring has always been the gold standard for homeowners—not just for beauty, but for value,” said Milton Goodwin, vice president-hardwood, AHF Products. “Densified Hardwood is a game-changer. It offers the timeless appeal of wood with the strength and performance families need today.”

Built to Perform Where Others Fail

  • 6X More Dent Resistant than traditional hardwood—resists damage from dropped pans, dog nails, or playful kids.
  • 4X More Scratch Resistant—rivals synthetic flooring like luxury vinyl tile and laminate while retaining the authenticity of real wood.
  • Waterproof for Up to Eight Hours—ideal for households with pets, kids, and the occasional spill.
  • Made in USA with U.S. and global content.

All AHF solid wood products are manufactured in the USA using premium American hardwoods—including red and white oak, hickory, maple, and walnut. In total, 70% of the company’s U.S. volume is domestically produced or sourced, offering consumers increased confidence in product traceability, sustainability, and reliability. 

Introducing the Timber Legends Collection: History Meets High-Tech

New from AHF’s Robbins brand is the Timber Legends Densified Wood Collection, which includes a bold reimagining of one of America’s most iconic woods: Longleaf Pine. Once nearly lost to history, this legendary species is reborn through modern innovation and sustainable forestry.

Longleaf Pine was revered for its strength, resilience, and rich grain. It was used to build mills, bridges, ships, and railroads—but by the early 1900s, it was nearly logged to extinction. While true Longleaf Pine takes centuries to mature and cannot be feasibly reforested, AHF is honoring its legacy with Timber Legends, a breakthrough collection that captures the character of Longleaf pine using a sustainably sourced pine species and advanced Densified Hardwood technology. 

This innovation is made possible through a partnership with Menominee Tribal Enterprises (MTE), operated by the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin, whose forest stewardship dates to 1854—long before sustainable forestry was widely understood. Their 230,000-acre forest has yielded nearly 200 million cubic feet of timber, yet today it contains more standing timber than it did over a century ago. MTE harvests only dying, damaged, or naturally fallen trees, preserving forest biodiversity and long-term health. Their forest is widely regarded as one of the best-managed in the world and has become a global model for sustainable resource use. 

The Menominee philosophy—that the health of the forest is inseparable from the health of the people—infuses every aspect of Timber Legends. This is more than a floor; it is a living legacy, deeply rooted in tradition, responsibility, and long-term vision.

Densified Hardwood is available under AHF’s leading consumer brands, including Bruce, Hartco, Robbins, and for commercial spaces through Armstrong Flooring TimberTones.
