A Commitment to Health and Safety
Every plank of Opus Hardwood is manufactured with the environment in mind. Their products are FloorScore certified and CARB Phase 2 compliant to ensure the highest standards for indoor air quality. By selecting Opus you are choosing a floor that is not only beautiful but also safe for your family and the environment which makes it a top choice for green building projects in San Mateo and Palo Alto.
What is the thickness of the Opus Hardwood wear layer?
Most Opus engineered hardwood collections feature a substantial four millimeter sawn face wear layer. This thick veneer provides the same look and feel as solid wood while offering the added stability of an engineered platform and allows for multiple professional refinishings over the life of the product.
Can Opus Hardwood be installed over radiant heating?
Yes because the engineered construction provides superior dimensional stability compared to solid planks. Opus is an excellent choice for homes with radiant heat but you must ensure that the surface temperature of the floor never exceeds eighty degrees and maintain consistent indoor humidity levels.
How does the Opus smoking process change the wood color?
The distinctive smoking process involves exposing the raw white oak to controlled amounts of natural smoke which reacts with the tannins in the wood. This technique creates a rich and multi-dimensional color that goes deep into the grain instead of just sitting on the surface like a traditional stain.
What is the best way to clean my Opus floors?
We recommend using a microfiber mop and a pH-neutral hardwood floor cleaner to maintain the factory finish. You should avoid using steam cleaners or wet mops or any abrasive chemicals as excessive moisture and harsh ingredients can damage the protective UV-cured urethane topcoat over time.
