Hardwood Collection Feature: Enduring
If you're feeling frustrated by the process of buying new hardwood, you're not alone. The search is often bogged down by confusing industry terms, and endless choices that leave you second-guessing every sample board you bring home.
We built Proximity Mills to change that experience. We’re homeowners, parents, and pet owners who got fed up with how complicated and expensive finding high-performance flooring had become. You shouldn't have to spend weeks researching or overpaying just to get a floor built for real life.
Our Enduring hardwood collection is the answer to that problem. By cutting out unnecessary middleman markups and focusing on what truly matters, we’ve created a straightforward engineered hardwood floor that offers classic natural character, daily durability, and incredible value.
What Makes the Enduring Hardwood Collection Different?
Our Enduring and Everlasting hardwoods are different for three main reasons: waterproof, pet scratch proof, and high resistance to denting.
- Waterproof: the entire top wear of the wood floor layer is non-porous due to patented technology. The manufacturing process fills all the pores with polyurethane and compresses the top layer without changing the beautiful look of the real wood surface.
- Pet & Scratch-Proof: The wear layer applied to the surface is the most durable available for hardwood floors. It will not scratch with pet claws - even larger dogs. It can also be used in light commercial applications due to the high durability. Because it is real wood, the floor can also be resurfaced if it is ever needed making it a permanent flooring option.
- Dent Resistance: The tech used to make it increases the density of the hardwood by nearly 2X so dent resistance is significantly increased.
Where to Install the Enduring Collection
Because of its engineered stability, the Enduring collection offers greater installation flexibility than traditional solid wood:
- Living Rooms & Great Rooms: Create a warm, welcoming gathering space that handles daily foot traffic, family activity, and pets with ease.
- Bedrooms: Bring a quiet, relaxing atmosphere to your personal space with natural wood tones that complement any decor style.
- Dining Areas & Kitchens: Enjoy the timeless visual of hardwood in dining spaces, backed by a protective surface finish that makes daily cleanup simple.
Protective Care for Enduring Hardwood Flooring
High-performance hardwood shouldn't come with complicated cleaning routines or expensive specialty treatments. Caring for your Enduring floor is simple and hassle-free:
- Daily Sweeping: Use a soft-bristle broom or a microfiber dust mop to remove loose dirt and dust.
- Routine Cleaning: Clean periodically with a damp mop and a gentle, wood-safe cleaner—no harsh chemicals or wax treatments should be used.
- Proactive Care: Place felt pads under heavy furniture legs and door mats at main entryways to protect your finish from tracked-in grit.
