Mohawk Hardwood Flooring Review: Why Experience & Innovation Matter
In the flooring world, few names carry as much weight as Mohawk. For over 140 years, they’ve been at the forefront of the industry, but for us at The Floor Store, the connection is even more personal.
Our founder and president, Larry Flick, grew up in the textile heartland of Georgia, where a handshake and a person’s word were the foundations of any good business. When we opened our first doors in Richmond in 1986, we knew that to provide the Bay Area with the best, we had to partner with the best.
That’s why we’ve been a Mohawk Floorscapes dealer since 1995—a distinction held by only nine retailers in all of Northern California. Our commitment to this brand has even led to us being named Mohawk’s Retailer of the Year sixteen times. Today, we’re diving into why Mohawk hardwood remains a trusted favorite for our customers from San Francisco to San Jose.
Why We’ve Trusted Mohawk for Over 30 Years for Premium Wood Floors
1. TecWood™: Engineered for the Modern Bay Area Home
Many of our neighbors love the look of traditional solid hardwood but worry about the unique climate of the Bay Area.
Between the coastal fog and the inland heat, natural wood can sometimes expand and contract more than we’d like.
Mohawk TecWood™ is the answer. It’s a 100% natural wood veneer bonded to a high-performance core.
- Dimensional Stability: It is designed to resist the warping and cupping that can happen with humidity changes.
- Impact Resistance: TecWood is actually 40% more dent and impact-resistant than traditional wood floors.
- Authentic Beauty: Because the top layer is real wood, every plank is unique, offering the warmth and character that only nature can provide.
2. Unmatched Protection with ArmorMax™ and Scotchgard™
When we talk about quality, we’re talking about how your floor looks five, ten, and twenty years after installation. Mohawk’s finish technologies are a significant reason they are a global leader.
Most hardwood finishes sit on top of the wood. Mohawk’s ArmorMax™ finish actually penetrates deep into the wood fibers. This makes the surface up to five times more resistant to wear than other extended finishes.
Furthermore, Mohawk incorporates Scotchgard™ Protector Advanced Repel Technology. This helps prevent common household spills—like a dropped glass of wine in your Dublin kitchen or a muddy paw print in Concord—from bonding to the wood. It makes cleaning easier and keeps your floors looking “showroom new” for a generation.
3. The Performance of RevWood: The Wood Without Limits
While we are discussing hardwood, we’d be remiss not to mention Mohawk RevWood. This is a revolutionary product that provides the visual of wood with the performance guaranteeddurability of a laminate.
For families with active kids and large pets in Sunnyvale or San Mateo, RevWood offers a waterproof system (when used with their WetProtect® technology) that traditional hardwood simply can’t match. It’s an example of the innovation that keeps Mohawk at the top of our list of partnerships.
