Only true hardwood veneers for the centerply in Hallmark Truecore hardwood flooring

Hallmark Floors uses certified hardwood veneers and TSCA TITLE VI compliant glues for the center-ply in our engineered floors’ hardwood construction. The center veneers are cold pressed, then hot pressed with tremendous pressure. This process makes the center core Eco-friendly, harder and more proportionally stable.

Sawn-Cut Style

Experts in the industry agree that sawn-cut provides the best quality, stability & visuals for solid & engineered floors. Sawn-cut engineered floors allow for the thickest veneer (4mm) with the highest degree of stability. Engineered sawn-cut wear layers are the ONLY engineered floors that are equal to solid wood floors.

Sawn-cut is made by cutting the log into thick blanks and then set on edge and sent through a multi blade saw, so that the slices are more perpendicular to the growth rings. This process creates a beautiful wood grain and higher quality product, which is unique to sawn-cut face floors.

Slice-Cut Style

Slice-cut features the same beautiful look as sawn cut veneers and is the second most common way to create a wood veneer, it’s just in thinner layers (2mm or less). This creates stunning visuals while still providing stability for engineered wood floors.

How the wood is cut makes a difference in sliced engineered floors. According to experts, in order to produce a better slice-cut veneer, the log should be vertically cut from the top down. As a result, this creates less stress on the veneer during the slicing process and makes the veneer stronger and provides max stability for a variety of environments. For this reason, Hallmark Floors only vertically slice-cuts the wood used for our floors.
