    The ultimate in commercial-grade protection for your home

    A tough, clear finish formulated for ultimate protection. The Generations Intact 2500 finish has an outstanding track record for durability in commercial applications and high traffic environments. Imagine what it could do for your wood floors at home! Microfragmented aluminum particles create a multipoint contact surface that provides increased scratch through resistance and retains the floor's original luster for longer. This exceptionally durable and clear matte finish keeps floors looking great through years of wear and tear.

    Superior resistance to wear and tear
    Microfragmented aluminum particles create a multipoint contact surface that provides increased scratch through resistance and retains the floor's original luster for longer. 

    Clear and invisible protection
    The finely textured and clear matte sheen of the Generations Intact 2500 finish helps hide compression marks and everyday wear and tear.

    Anti-perforation finish
    TABER tests show that the Generations Intact 2500 finishing system is the toughest in the industry, requiring 2,500 rotations to wear the finish down to bare wood.

    Flexible
    The polymers and multi sized aluminum particles in the Generations Intact 2500 finish cleave to marks and prevents flaking, making it the most flexible finish on the market.

    Antimicrobial
    The nontoxic antimicrobial treatment helps keep your home healthy by reducing the risk of bacteria and mold growth.

    Repels water on the floor surface
    The molecule adhesion between the Generations Intact 2500 finish and the surface of the wood creates a barrier that repels water and other liquids in the event of spills. This permanent bond prevents the finish from peeling.

    Warranty
    50 years in residential applications

    Hypoallergenic and stain resistant
    The stains don't go through the finish and are easy to wipe off.

    Non-yellowing
    The non-yellowing treatment consists of two distinct UV screens that protect the original color of the floor from light sources that could alter it:
    - A UV screen that prevents the finish from yellowing when exposed to natural or artificial lighting.
    - A protective UV screen that delays and reduces the natural yellowing of the wood.

    The TABER test involves mounting a portion of a finished board onto a turntable fitted with sheets of abrasive paper.

    The degree of resistance is evaluated based on the number of rotations it takes to completely wear down the finish. The higher the number of cycles, the more resistant the finish.
