Now let's go outside the shop. I'm going to bring a sander with a fresh sanding disc on it and we're
0:10
just going to see how the two types of flooring compare in a very high wear, high abrasive
0:16
situation. So I've got a six inch random orbit sander here. I got a fresh 80 grit abrasive and
0:24
and I'm going to get my cameraman to time out one minute as I just hold this in place
0:33
on this shop finished piece of wood. It's stained and then three coats of the toughest satin
0:39
urethane I know about. So let's see what it does in terms of abrasion. So this is simulating
0:46
the resistance to abrasion that floors are always subjected to. So okay
1:21
Well do you see a difference? Of course you do. And uh I'm just holding it up and looking really
1:31
closely. Now that this was of course a very challenging test and if I look closely I can
1:41
see a little a few a few scuff marks and things. But um
1:51
I mean that's pretty impressive. Compare the two. Now this of course is simulating a lot more wear
1:59
than you'd ever run into in your house but it just it highlights just how tough this is. So
2:05
as a wood guy you know I'm not supposed to like this stuff but uh when it comes to floors I'd
2:11
rather not be finishing and refinishing them all the time or worrying about them in between. You
2:15
know oh be careful it's a fragile floor as all hardwood floors are in my experience
2:25
They are amongst the most fragile of floors especially when it comes to scratches and
2:31
things but as you can see there's a very authentic looking substitute that's amazingly tough
