MULTIPLY CORE COLLECTION
Multiply Core Construction
Why Plywood Core?
- When multiple pieces of plywood are layered on top of each other (with grains going different directions) it creates an engineered balance. This balance prevents expansion, contraction, bowing, twisting and warping. This is the reason why engineered flooring can be installed below grade level's (in basements).
- The more ply's that are added, the more stable the plank is going to be.
- The decorative layer on this construction provides the ability to refinish the floor. The flooring can be professionally re-screened an unlimited amount of times allowing it to last generations.

Installation Profile Details
Tongue and Groove Profile
Our tongue and groove profile is truly innovative so you can be confident that once your flooring is installed, it is going to last for generations. Our highly experienced team of flooring manufacturing engineers have developed a T&G construction that makes installation easy to accomplish whether you want to glue, float, nail or staple the floor in place.
Installation Made Easy
- The nail pocket allows space for a staple or nail to be used without interfering with the way each plank interlocks with each other.
- Our innovative adhesive pockets allow more glue to be applied between the tongue and groove which creates a stronger bond to the planks and to the sub floor.
Environmental Focus
Preserving our natural resources and environment are important at From The Forest. The raw materials used for the flooring products are sourced only from managed forests in the United States and our wear resistant, ceramic top coats, and stains are water-based (zero VOC) and UV cured to protect air quality and our adhesives meet the highest standards for air emissions.

We are committed to sustainable forest management and we encourage the use of wood as an environmentally acceptable and renewable material. We have not and will not purchase lumber from any supplier involved in improper practices.

Why Wood & Why Engineered?

WHY WOOD?

WHY ENGINEERED?
Nothing beats the beauty of real wood– Real wood products portray a sense of elegance and class that does not go unnoticed. Imitation products will never be able to compare.
Every plank is unique - Wood is a product of nature, and because of this, it allows for a new unique characteristic on every plank. The unique nature of wood is what makes it so sophisticated.
Environment – Wood products are renewable and substantially better for the environment over all other materials that are used to imitate the look of wood.
Safety –Scientific Research has shown that Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) products have cytotoxicity/allergenicity components and are combustible. Cytotoxicity/ allergenicity components can create health issues and cause damage to living tissue in humans and pets through exposure. Combustible building products may release smoke, toxic gasses and other chemical compounds when exposed to elevated temperatures. This may have a hazardous impact on building occupants, neighborhoods, first responders and the environment. Wood products are natural and do not have any of these risk factors associated.
Durability – Constructed to have enhanced stability and more resistance to daily wear, tear and buckling and offers an extremely durable coating capable of withstanding treatment.
Resistance - Dimensionally very stable preventing the wood from expanding and contracting during fluctuations of humidity and temperature.
Radiant Heat Compatibility - Majority of engineered hardwood offerings can be installed over radiant heat.
Installation Capability - Can be installed on all grade levels in a variety of different ways including nailing, gluing, floating and stapling. Many handy homeowners could even do it themselves!
