Guaranteed integrity.
Generational assurance.
Somma engineered hardwood floors are manufactured to exacting architectural tolerances using sustainably harvested European oak and multi-ply Baltic birch cores. We back our craftsmanship with industry-leading residential and light commercial warranty coverage.
Coverage you can trust.
Engineered for enduring stability, structural resilience, and daily architectural living.
Lifetime Structural Integrity.
We warrant to the original purchaser that your Somma engineered wood flooring will be free from manufacturing defects in milling, dimensional stability, and lamination integrity. The bond between our European oak wear layer and the Baltic birch multi-ply core will never separate or delaminate for the lifetime of your home.
25-Year Residential Finish.
We warrant that under normal residential traffic conditions and adherence to recommended preventive care, the factory-applied ultra-matte architectural finish will not wear through to the bare natural wood or peel away from the plank surface for 25 years from the date of purchase.
5-Year Commercial Protection.
For commercial installations including architectural design studios, boutique retail, and professional corporate offices, Somma warrants that the structural integrity and finish surface will endure heavy standard foot traffic without delamination or premature wear-through for 5 years.
