Extensive testing is performed oneach run of flooring including thefollowing:1. The Nickel Test. Used to subjectively gauge overall filmtoughness. Rating scale 0-10, with 10 being highest score andindicative of a film that shows no damage from the scrape.2. Cross Sectional Test. A grid is cut into the finish then anadhesive tape is applied and removed to check for 100% adhesion.3. Film Weight Test. The thickness of each coat of finish ismeasured with a precision balance. The Bellawood total thickness is3.5 mils, over 50% thicker than industry standards.4. Gloss Test. The percentage of gloss, to ensure uniform gloss level.Taber TestingTaber Testing is an abrasion testingmethod that was designed to measurethe abrasion resistance of protective floorfinishes. Flooring squares are secured to aturntable that is a weighted wheel coveredwith sandpaper. The turntable is rotated,causing the sandpaper to wear against thefinish. Each full revolution of the turntableis counted as a Taber cycle. The numberof rotations it takes the sandpaper to getthrough the finish becomes the ISP TaberRating for that finish.To order, visit (store list pg. 63), call 1-800-FLOORING or click www.lumberliquidators.comThe samples submitted were tested in triplicate according to principles ofASTM D 4060.
