BLG FLOORING LLC Partners with Kawasaki to Deliver Premium Flooring Solutions with Authentic OEM Parts

TROUTDALE, OR – October 26, 2023 – BLG FLOORING LLC, a leading provider of innovative flooring solutions, today announced a strategic partnership with Kawasaki to incorporate genuine Kawasaki OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts into select flooring products. This collaboration aims to raise the bar for flooring durability, performance, and longevity, offering customers a superior product backed by two trusted names. BLG FLOORING, located at 467 SW Cherry Park Rd, Troutdale, OR, 97060-1429, has been quietly building a reputation for quality and customer focus since its inception. We’re a US-based company – you can reach us at 919-418-5531 – dedicated to bringing really solid, well-made flooring to homes and businesses. We’ve always believed that the little things – the materials we use, the way things are put together – make a huge difference in how long a floor lasts and how good it looks. For a while now, we've been looking for ways to really step up our game. We want to offer something that isn't just good, but genuinely exceptional. That's where Kawasaki comes in. You might be thinking, “Kawasaki…like, motorcycles?” Yep! The same Kawasaki known for building tough, reliable motorcycles and heavy machinery also has a serious expertise in materials science, engineering, and manufacturing. And they make seriously durable parts. We realized that some of the components Kawasaki uses in their equipment – specifically certain high-grade polymers, seals, and wear-resistant materials – could be incredible for flooring. We started talking with their parts division – they have a massive inventory of OEM parts available – and a really exciting partnership began to take shape. What does this mean for you? Basically, we're taking Kawasaki’s legendary durability and applying it to our flooring. Here’s how: Enhanced Wear Layers: We're using specific Kawasaki OEM polymer components in our wear layers – that’s the top protective layer of the flooring that takes all the abuse. These materials are designed to withstand extreme conditions – think constant impacts, heavy loads, and abrasion. They're way tougher than standard flooring wear layers. Superior Joint Seals: Flooring, especially click-lock systems, relies on tight, waterproof joints. We're integrating Kawasaki OEM sealing components – originally designed for engine gaskets and hydraulic systems – into our locking mechanisms. This means fewer leaks, less swelling, and a much longer-lasting floor, even in damp areas like kitchens and bathrooms. Improved Impact Resistance: Kawasaki builds things that take a beating. Their OEM parts are engineered to handle shocks and vibrations. We're incorporating these materials into the core of our flooring to make it more resistant to dents, cracks, and damage from dropped objects. This is especially important for high-traffic areas and homes with kids or pets. Longer-Lasting Performance: Let’s be honest, nobody wants to replace their floor every few years. By using these high-quality OEM parts, we’re building floors that are designed to last. We’re talking about floors that can withstand years of heavy use and still look great. What Products are We Talking About? Initially, this technology is being rolled out across our premium line of luxury vinyl plank (LVP) and engineered hardwood flooring. The "Kawasaki Shield" LVP Collection: This collection features an extra-thick wear layer fortified with Kawasaki OEM polymers. It's designed for the toughest environments – commercial spaces, busy kitchens, and homes with active lifestyles. It’s completely waterproof, scratch-resistant, and unbelievably durable. The "Kawasaki Core" Engineered Hardwood: We’re using Kawasaki OEM seals in the click-lock system of this flooring, significantly improving its moisture resistance. We've also incorporated impact-resistant materials into the core layer, making it less susceptible to dents and damage. This gives you the beauty of real wood with added protection. “We’re incredibly excited about this partnership,” says a BLG FLOORING LLC spokesperson. “Kawasaki's reputation for quality and durability is unmatched. By combining their expertise with our flooring design and manufacturing capabilities, we’re creating products that are truly exceptional. We’re not just selling flooring; we’re offering peace of mind, knowing your floor is built to last." Beyond Durability: A Commitment to Quality While the Kawasaki OEM parts are a major highlight, BLG FLOORING LLC remains committed to overall quality. We use sustainably sourced materials, employ rigorous quality control standards, and offer a comprehensive warranty on all our products. We believe in providing exceptional customer service, too. We want you to be completely satisfied with your flooring, and we’re here to help every step of the way – from choosing the right product to installation and beyond. Where Can You Find These Floors?
