FloorMall has recently added five more sites to its already strong network of informational flooring sites. These new sites focus on the Janka chart which is one of the main elements that wood species are judged by. For those of you who don’t know the Janka Hardness Scale measures the hardness of a specific wood. The test is done by measuring the force necessary to imbed a .444 inch steel ball halfway to its diameter in a piece of wood. This measures the wood’s ability to resist denting and other obvious signs of wear. This is also an indication of how responsive the wood will be to sawing, nailing and machining. In this aspect the rating isn’t completely definitive. Woods can have silica content in their make up which would cause tool dulling on their own. With the advent of the Janka hardness chart there is now a hierarchy of woods listed according to their hardness. FloorMall has dedicated several websites just to the Janka scale, in order to provide another great resource for anyone shopping for hardwood flooring.
FloorMall has always offered the very best in flooring and in product lines. They carry product lines from many of the most respected brands in the industry. What sets them apart however, is the way that they work with their customers to educate them about every purchase. FloorMall realizes how intimidating the search for hardwood flooring can be and they’ve positioned themselves to do everything they can to help. FloorMall encourages everyone who is interested in learning more about the hardness and durability of wood to visit one of their Janka hardness rating themed sites.
