Patented Hybrid Wood™ Technology

LESS GLUE. MORE WOOD. A HEALTHIER HOME.

Conventional multilayer engineered flooring bonds every veneer with glue that may contain formaldehyde. A typical 2,000 sq ft home floored with traditional 9-ply engineered wood can carry up to 16,000 sq ft of formaldehyde-based glue (2,000 sq ft × 8 glue layers). That is a lot of unnecessary exposure in your home.

Alston’s patented HYBRID WOOD™ technology reinvents how a floor is built: ONE layer of formaldehyde-free adhesive, 100% natural solid wood, and CARB NAF-certified, zero-VOC materials. Precision-engineered cross-grain solid wood fillets and structural edge beams deliver exceptional strength and dimensional stability. The result is a stronger, more stable hardwood floor made with your family’s well-being and the environment in mind, without giving up the natural beauty of real wood.

ALSTON HYBRID WOOD™ — Engineered Smarter. Built Better. Naturally.
