SUPPLEMENT TO McHENRY PLAINDEALER - PAGE New flooring combines beauty of wood with vinyVs durability In building or remodeling, how many of us consider the warm glow of genuine hard­ wood to be truly practical in today's cost-efficient home? Let's look again. A unique concept in vinyl-bonded natural wood flooring is currently being in­ troduced to the home-in- stallation market, after achieving widespread accep­ tance in some of the nation's most distinctive department stores, shopping malls, hotels, banks, restaurants and office buildings. GenuWood™ II wood flooring, under a variety of heavy foot-traffic conditions, has proven itself to be as ruggedly durable as it is beau­ tiful. According to its manu- facturer, PermaGrain Products Inc. of Media, PA., Genu Wood II presents a whole new approach to modern flooring designed to answer a real need. It offers all the advantages of conventional hardwood floors. It also means that highly desirable woods, such as walnut, cherry and rose­ wood, can now be installed in the home easily, quickly, permanently, in a variety of patterns--at a reason­ able cost. Often, these were previously considered impractical for flooring. However, GenuWood II will not show the wear and abra­ sion commonly associated with conventionally finished wood floors. The glowing visual appeal of the floor projects from its genuine hardwood veneer. Its durability results from its unique vinyl construction. Permanently protecting the hardwood surface is a layer of 20-mil pure vinyl. Beneath the wood layer is a layer of core vinyl with a fiberglass screen sandwiched between. The specially de­ signed laminated construc­ tion protects the hardwood from direct contact with moisture from above. . . and below. Not only is this wood floor­ ing fully practical for use in the living room, dining room, hall and bedroom, but in the playroom and kitchen as well. For sheer toughness, di­ mensional stability and resis­ tance to abrasion, it com­ pares favorably with vinyl tile, vinyl asbestos and wood parquet. The floor surface also offers a superior non-slip 24 -FRIDAY, MAKCH 23,11W» characteristic. Because this resilient flooring is made of real wood, nature as'Krts its own artistry in design with each piece . . varying the color, tone and grain configuration. It is available in squares, pickets and plank strips to form eight different standard patterns, from the rustic "Random Plank" to the clas­ sic "Jeffersonian" parquet. The selection of luxurious wood includes oak, teak, black walnut and English brown oak, in addition to walnut, cherry, rosewood and limed oak. For do-it-yourselfers as well as professional instal­ lers, GenuWood II is easy to install directly on sound, smooth and dry concrete, plywood or hardboard. Maintenance is minimal-- dust and dirt are quickly removed with damp mop­ ping, due to the pure vinyl surface. Where a high gloss finish is desired, a good quality floor polish may be applied. GenuWood II is available nationally at leading home centers and flooring outlets.
