Invest in the Future
FUSION FLOOR STANDS THE TEST OF TIME
Dry freight van trailer floors see a high volume of heavy-load traffic and rough operating conditions, and many flooring options can’t take the damaging impacts over time. Only one floor is backed by years of real-world testing and proof—Fusion Floor® by Havco®.
EACH FLOOR COMES BACKED BY A 10-YEAR WARRANTY
all hardwoods are not created equal
Through extensive testing and research, we’ve found that oak is far superior to maple when it comes to the most important elements.
The brochure comparison chart identifies oak as the preferred wood for strength, rot resistance, adhesive bonding and nailability. Each of these four categories is marked under Oak; the Maple column is unmarked.

the science behind the strength
Through a 10-year durability study, the performance of Fusion Floor was carefully documented and measured in an active trailer. Despite heavy-load traffic and substantial use, Fusion Floor remained strong and resilient. Superior engineering delivers PROVEN results. Don’t trade your peace of mind for a few dollars.
Composite Layer with Increased Rigidity
Fusion Floor uses a higher fiber content and a high-grade epoxy resin to create the strongest composite layer in the industry.
Superior Bond Between Layers
Two layers of our signature red PUR adhesive create an unbreakable bond between the wood and epoxy composite layers.
Durable Foundation Built with Oak
Oak is the most decay-resistant wood available — only Havco uses 100% oak in its floors.

Superior Laminated Oak Floors Superior Manufacturing Experience
Sourcing the Best Lumber
We exclusively purchase green lumber from the Midwestern and Appalachian regions, known for plentiful stock and the highest quality oak.
In-House Drying
To ensure low variation of moisture, we custom dry lumber in our own dependable dryers and kilns.
Processing Dry Lumber
We accurately machine the lumber into strips and discard parts with knots and/or defects.
Laminating
Using a high-performing melamine glue, we bond lumber strips together in radio-frequency presses to make boards.
Quality Checks at Every Step
We make quality checks throughout the manufacturing process to ensure proper moisture content, strip dimensions, glue application and lamination are exact. Then we finish with a final planing.
Final Strength Testing
Once manufactured, we test our oak floors for strength and glue-bond performance to ensure conformance with rigorous requirements.
