Upofloor Hardwood Flooring

Originating in Finland, Upofloor offers a unique and high quality engineered wood flooring that is most often installed in a "floating" method. Unusual in that the flooring itself is not fastened to the floor via nails or glue, but rather, sits on the floor in an integral, interlocked system. Each board is comprised of several plies of wood, with a top layer that gives an appearance of "strip" flooring. The top plies of hardwood consist of 1, 2, or 3 strips in a board width. Fastened together, each board "floats" on the floor beneath it. Ideal for remodeling sites, there is greater flexibility in appropriate applications for this product. Whether going over new, wood subfloor, sheet vinyl floors, or older, uneven floors ­ Upofloor, floating provides a superior wood floor with high quality finishes. Ideal for over radiant heating systems!

RealLOC Glueless System

The Upofloor RealWood range of high-quality hardwood floorings includes a selection of floorings with RealLOC system that can be installed without glue. RealLOC flooring is based on a locking tongue-and-groove system that connects and interlocks flooring boards accurately and tightly.

Upofloor RealLOC floorings are available in the following 3-strip grades: Beech Nature, Beech Villa, Birch Nature, Maple Nature, Merbau, and Oak Nature. Upofloor RealLOC floorings are prefinished at the factory with six coatings of Upotop protective finish. The flooring is ready for use after installation.

Installing RealLOC flooring is easy and practically guides itself. Existing concerns such as installation conditions and the levelness of the subfloor may require the attention of a trained professional.
