Wicanders Wear Resistant Technology
Amorim Flooring N.A., and their Wicanders brand of Cork Oak Flooring are proud to present, Xtreme Wear Resistance Technology (WRT). Amorim has been the world leader in the Cork industry for over 130 years. Wicanders’ WicCork & WicWood floors are quickly becoming a favorite of trendy and environmentally conscious, architects, interior designers, and design-build firms today.

Xtreme WRT was conceived and constructed by an expert team of researchers and developers dedicated to the protection of WicCork and WicWood floors with one of the strongest varnishes ever made available. Xtreme WRT is considered to be the most revolutionary innovation in the flooring market. Wicanders Xtreme WRT is 4X tougher than any other high wear resistance varnish in its class.

This innovation is based on the strength of ceramics. After natural diamonds, ceramic is the hardest known material in the world. Ceramics are used in armored vests to repel large caliber
rifle fire. US space shuttles are equipped with a ceramic shield to protect when re-entering the earth’s atmosphere.

Xtreme WRT works by laying a fine shield of ceramic micro-beads to protect and preserve floors from scratches, scuff marks, abrasions, and even UV damage. This thin shield possess
the powerful strength of ceramic, yet amazingly retains the gentler properties of all natural Cork Oak.

WicCork and WicWood floors are naturally sound absorbent and insulate against thermal transfer. Xtreme WRT preserves these valuable qualities. There is no cold, harsh feeling to the touch as
with ceramic tile. Xtreme WRT never dulls the brilliance of WicCork or WicWood’s striking design. Offered in a satin optic that looks like a freshly oiled floor, ceramic micro-beads provide traction that greatly reduce any potential for sliding, therefore increasing your level of safety.

WRT is an environmentally friendly compound, unlike other varnishes based on harsh chemical solvents and toxins.

Wicanders Cork Oak floors with Xtreme WRT are completely impenetrable to moisture damage, dirt, color spots, and UV damage. They are also anti-bacterial, anti-microbial, anti-static and anti-allergen. With all of these health benefits, Wicanders floors are still easily cleaned with mop and broom.

Wicanders Cork Oak Floors with Xtreme WRT protection is the number one flooring solution for well-trafficked areas. Xtreme WRT is perfect for hallways, kitchens, classrooms, restaurants,
office buildings, and busy retail environments.
