Brochure shows wood look options in both HRT and SRT technologies. From the specs, looks like the wood look HRT floor has better impact sound reduction than the wood look SRT floor. Are any of the wood look options HRT? It looks like maybe the Highland Oak is HRT? We're particularly interested in the Field Oak. Do you know if that is HRT or SRT?
