The proof: 14-day flood test. PointSIX has been extensively researched and tested in Ainsworth facilities. One rigorous test involved flooding pointSIX floor panels with water for 14 days, simulating severe wet jobsite conditions. The result: after two weeks of flooding pointSIX Flooring dried out firm and flat, successfully containing edge swell to just 0.01 inches—not much more than a sheet of paper.
Dealers
No one—not homeowners, not builders, nor dealers whose profits and credibility are on the line—wants their flooring panels to swell. And yet, pointSIX Durastrand Flooring is the first-ever solution engineered to address the challenge head-on. PointSIX tapered-edge technology addresses the challenge head-on by milling off a thin layer of surface wood along all four panel edges. With moisture, the wood fibers expand to essentially “fill up to flush” the micro-taper milled into the panel. The resulting reduction in edge swell is dramatic: in laboratory tests pointSIX outperformed competitive flooring two-to-one.
Offer your builders flooring that makes their lives easier (no sanding!), homeowners happier, and that stays firm, true and flat over time. Then watch how a slight taper can have the opposite effect on your sales.
