When it comes to buying a new hardwood floor, for example, it can be difficult to ask all the right questions at the time of purchase. We tend to select floors for their quality, style and their fit with a desired interior design. Rarely do we consider what may occur after installation.

In every home, simple accidents do happen, and some of them will be severe enough to cause unsightly floor damage. Even if the damage is localized, we believe that board replacement will be difficult and expensive and the floor will never look the same. For anyone with hardwood floors in their home, it’s a situation we’ve all dreaded.

At one time that was true, but not today.

Progress in floor joint technology has created new hard surface floors in hardwood, cork and laminate. The Uniclic joint in particular – found in floors made by Torlys Smart Floors – makes it easy to repair floors by replacing planks.

“Because the Uniclic joint process is reversible, we can explore possibilities for renewal that other companies can’t,” said Karen Deel, brand manager for Torlys Smart Floors.

“We’ve invented a tool called “the bulldog” that allows for unclicking a joint anywhere on the floor, removing the damaged plank and inserting a new plank in minutes, without hassle or mess.”

Not only does easy plank replacement assure peace of mind for homeowners, it means that environmentally-friendly renewal can be done instead of environmentally-costly floor replacement. More information is available online at torlys.com.

Tip: Think ahead when buying flooring.

Any new floor looks great when first installed. But what about three months later, when it gets gouged by a dropped toaster? Be sure to ask your retailer about the ease of plank replacement, and what assurance is offered that the floor will look great after any repairs.
