The Ultimate Test!

The new Mercier Generations finish will keep its luster for years to come and offers greater resistance to total wear of the finish.

Deterioration of the surface luster of your floor is the first sign of wear in the finish protecting the wood. Finish wear shows as dull or shiny patches in high traffic areas.

If we examine one of these wear zones under a microscope, we see that the finish is covered in fine cuts caused by surface abrasion. These tiny scratches attract and retain dirt. This is the result of friction caused by footsteps and objects sliding over the surface.

Wear is even faster if abrasive dust collects on the floor.

The Mercier Generations finish is so resistant that it even stands up to vigorous, repeated rubbing with steel wool, with no deterioration of its luster.

Each rub with an abrasive as damaging as steel wool is equivalent to many thousands of footsteps on the floor surface.

The industry-approved method for testing the resistance of finishes to total wear is the Taber abrasion test.

Mercier Generations beats all competitors in the Taber test.
