Witex Flooring Review

If you are looking for a decent laminate flooring option, then Witex flooring is one of your many choices. While most laminate floors are very similar in terms of quality, it’s always good to familiarize yourself with each brands different offerings before you decide which one to go with. When it comes to Witex laminate flooring you will have a few different options, and we will outline briefly those options today.

Generic Features of a Witex Floor

Witex floors have some general features that you should get to know. Not all of their 6 sub-brands/levles of flooring have each option, so make sure you check before you make your purchase.

1. Textures – Witex has basically 3 different types of textures: smooth grain, True-to-Grain, and a high-gloss finish texture.  In order to get the True-to-Grain you will need to get their Artison line, and to get the high-gloss you will need to purchase the Witex Gandeur Collection.
2. Edging – You can choose between a smooth edge or a beveled edge (the beveled edge is available in the Town and Country line of laminate.
3. Plus! Sitlent Comfort Backing – This is the companies cushioning and noise reduction technology.  Like most companies, they claim that it reduces noise and makes the floor feel more ‘solid’ than other laminate floors.  One nice thing about the Witex comfort backing is that it does come attached already to their floors, making it easier to install.
4. Surface Armor (r) – this is an aluminum oxide protection that is applied to every one of their floors.  It’s purpose is to prevent scratches and bumps/indentions.  Again, most laminate companies offer some type of similar protection.
5. LocTec (r) – one very nice advantage of witex laminate floors is that they do come with a good locking mechanism that does not require any type of glue, even in high-moisture areas such as kitchens and bathrooms. 
6. Aqua Protect (r) – This is a protection layer (not available on all of their labels) that, much like it’s name suggests, protects against water damage.  This is probably a decent and smart option for water prone areas, but remember no matter what the warranty is on your laminate floor, you should not allow water to sit on the floor for extended periods of time.  The Aqua Protect (r) will help, but will not solve the problem. 

Summary

There are some nice features that you can find with Witex flooring.  Remember that you are still dealing with laminate (there is no such thing as Witex wood flooring, they only offer laminate products), and as such don’t expect a full wood replacement.  However, you should get a decent, solid laminate floor that can be a good option for your home.
