Yes, wood flooring is incredibly versatile and complements a wide range of design styles. Whether your aesthetic is contemporary, traditional, or somewhere in between, wood floors seamlessly integrate into any decor. Additionally, wood flooring can enhance the value of your home, as natural materials are often preferred over synthetic ones for their beauty, prestige, and durability. With a wide selection of woods and finishes available, including popular choices like Oak and Maple, as well as exotic options such as Brazilian Cherry and Walnut, you can find the perfect match for any room.

Engineered hardwood features a top layer of premium hardwood over a cross-directional laminated core, providing stability and resistance to changes in temperature and humidity. This construction makes engineered wood less susceptible to expansion and contraction. Solid hardwood, on the other hand, is crafted from a single piece of wood and offers a classic and robust option. Both types are available in planks, strips, or parquet styles, depending on your preference.

Laminate flooring has a high-density fiberboard core with a decorative layer that mimics wood, while vinyl flooring consists of multiple vinyl layers, including a waterproof core. Both laminate and vinyl offer commercial grade durability and a range of styles, and they can be installed using click-lock, floating methods.

Laminate flooring, often referred to as a floating floor, mimics the appearance of wood but is made from a thin layer of wood imitation glued over high-density compressed wood fibers. Unlike hardwood, laminate cannot be sanded or refinished, which limits its lifespan. Hardwood flooring, whether solid or engineered, features a real hardwood surface that can be sanded, stained, and refinished, offering extended durability and adaptability to changing tastes and decor.

Prefinished wood flooring comes with a factory-applied finish, eliminating the need for on-site sanding and finishing. This option saves time and reduces mess, and its UV lacquer / aluminum oxide finish is significantly more durable than standard urethane finishes, with a 25-year wear warranty. Unfinished flooring allows for custom sheen and color options which requires professional installation and additional finishing.

Yes, wood floors are an excellent way to improve indoor air quality and prevent dust accumulation that can occur with carpets. Hardwood floors also make it easier to manage pet hair and spills.

Selecting the right wood species, color, and grain variation is crucial as the floor represents a significant visual element in your interior. Your choice should complement existing fabrics, furnishings, and accessories, while also enhancing the overall character of the space. We offer a range of popular species, including European Oak, Maple, Exotic Walnut / Acacia, Kempas, Brazilian Teak, Brazilian Walnut, Mongolian Teak, along with diverse stains and finishes.

Yes! Our engineered wood floors are suitable for installation above, at, or below grade with appropriate precautions.

Yes, color variation is natural in hardwood flooring. Wood is a natural material, so slight differences in color between planks are to be expected. These variations add to the unique character of the flooring, though lower-grade woods may have more noticeable imperfections.

In most cases, the existing subfloor or underlayment is adequate, and no additional underlayment is required for flooring with pre-attached underlayment such as our luxury vinyl plank and waterproof laminate flooring products. For nail-down installations, a paper underlayment similar to tar paper is used to provide a barrier and support.

While vinyl plank flooring is 100% waterproof, it is not meant to act as a moisture barrier for the home. It is best practice to test for moisture and record measurements at the time of installation. Apply a 6mil plastic vapor / moisture barrier when installing over a concrete subfloor or a silicone moisture barrier over plywood.

Our solid hardwood and engineered hardwood floors are designed to withstand high traffic residential areas. Our engineered hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, and waterproof laminate floors are designed to withstand both water and heavy foot traffic, making it suitable for high-stress areas such as kitchens and restrooms. For optimal protection, use floor mats at exterior doorways to trap dirt and debris, and regularly vacuum to prevent grit or pebbles from scratching the surface.

Engineered hardwood floors are the ideal choice for use with radiant heating systems due to their dimensionally stable three-ply laminated construction, which resists fluctuations in temperature and humidity. Among engineered options, a floating installation is often recommended, as it can be laid over the subfloor without nails or adhesives. Ensure that the subfloor temperature does not exceed 85°F (ideally below 80°F) and that the heating system is turned off 24 hours before and after installation.

Clean your wood floor as often as needed to keep it looking its best. Regular vacuuming or sweeping helps remove abrasives like sand and grit that can damage the floor's finish. Adjust the frequency based on foot traffic and conditions in your home.
