Mullican Product Has Lifetime Moisture Warranty

Johnson City, TN, March 22, 2011 -- Hardwood firm Mullican Flooring has introduced a group of solid products that carry an industry-first lifetime moisture warranty.
 
The new products, called Meridian Pointe, with the Aqua Shield system, are manufactured at Mullican facilities located in Johnson City, Tenn., and Norton, Va.
 
“Problems associated with moisture are longstanding in the industry,” says Mullican President Neil Poland. “We’ve literally broken down that barrier by developing a product that so effectively resists moisture that we’re backing it up with a lifetime warranty.”
 
Mullican said that Meridian Pointe products come in wider widths and have successfully passed Mullican’s own internal performance testing, as well as third-party testing conducted by a leading research university.
 
“All the results confirm that if customers follow Mullican’s specific installation requirements and correctly apply our two-part Aqua Shield system, their floors will not cup, buckle or warp for the life of the home,” Poland says.
 
The company’s patent-pending Aqua Shield system involves first applying Mullican Moisture Mat, a moisture-retardant underlayment, then installing a Meridian Pointe product. The flooring has been engineered to allow each plank to expand at the bottom if exposed to moisture, without affecting the floor's surface.
