When choosing flooring for your home, durability is one of the top considerations. If you have kids, pets, or high-traffic areas, you need a floor that can withstand everyday wear and tear without losing its appeal. One of the most common questions we get about Mohawk’s RevWood laminate flooring is, “Are they scratch resistant?” Let’s dive into what makes RevWood a standout choice for homeowners seeking durability and style.
Understanding RevWood Laminate Flooring
RevWood by Mohawk is a revolutionary flooring option that blends the beauty of hardwood with the practicality of laminate. Unlike traditional laminate flooring, RevWood is designed with advanced technology to deliver superior performance. It’s marketed as a wood floor with the toughness to handle real-life challenges, making it an excellent choice for busy households.
Scratch Resistance: What to Expect
RevWood floors are designed to be highly scratch resistant. Thanks to Mohawk’s ScratchGuard Advanced Finish, these floors can handle the demands of active homes. Whether it’s pet claws, moving furniture, or the occasional dropped object, RevWood offers impressive protection against scratches and scuffs.
While no flooring is entirely scratch-proof, RevWood comes close. Its wear layer is specifically engineered to resist scratches better than traditional hardwood and even many other laminate options. This makes it a fantastic choice for families with pets or small children.
Benefits of RevWood Laminate Flooring
In addition to its scratch resistance, RevWood offers several other advantages:
- Water Resistance: RevWood Select and RevWood Plus collections feature waterproof technology, making them suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.
- Easy Maintenance: The durable finish resists stains and dirt, allowing for hassle-free cleaning.
- Affordable Luxury: You get the beauty of hardwood at a fraction of the cost.
- Eco-Friendly: RevWood is crafted with environmentally friendly materials, making it a sustainable choice.
- Variety of Styles: With a wide range of colors, textures, and finishes, there’s a RevWood floor to match any design aesthetic.
Tips to Protect Your RevWood Floors
Even though RevWood is built to be durable, a little care goes a long way in preserving its beauty:
- Use Furniture Pads: Place felt pads under furniture legs to prevent scratches when moving pieces.
- Trim Pet Nails: Keeping your pet’s nails trimmed reduces the risk of accidental scratches.
- Use Rugs and Mats: Place rugs in high-traffic areas and mats at entryways to catch dirt and debris.
- Clean Regularly: Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove particles that could scratch the surface.
