Abstract
The invention provides a floor assembly for replacing oak board floor constructions. The floor assembly includes floor boards that are installed in the same manner as oak floor boards, but that are made of more readily available materials. In one embodiment the floor boards are made of an inexpensive wood material core encased in a shell made of fiber reinforced plastic composite material. The core and the fiber reinforced plastic composite material are co-pultruded so that the shell integrally bonds to the core member and provides a seamless protective skin for the core member.
