DEFENDER™

Defend Your Bottom LineWHAT IS IT?Defender™ is a version of the Pound Saver™ composite floor, which uses a fiberglass-reinforced polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) underlayment rather than conventional thermosetting FRP. This technology is made of 60% fiberglass, forming a strong and impermeable protective barrier for the floor’s underside.

HOW IS IT MADE?Defender™ is bonded to the bottom of an oak floor utilizing the same patented bonding technology found in the Pound Saver™ composite floor.

WHO IS IT FOR?Defender™ is designed for customers seeking composite floor performance and protection at a fraction of the cost.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?Superior Protection — Defender™ protects from water, salt and other contaminants that can damage the wood and glue line of a laminated floor.

Stronger — Defender delivers 44% more strength than standard laminated oak flooring at the same thickness.

Higher Load Rating — Due to increased strength, a 13⁄8” Defender floor achieves a 24,000 pound load rating at roughly half the premium of a traditional composite floor.

Lower Maintenance Costs — By sealing off the glue line and wood from the elements, routine maintenance on the underside of the floor is eliminated.

Longer Working Life— Floors armed with Defender™ are both protected and reinforced resulting in longer working life.
