Why Hardwood:
Wood flooring is the traditional hallmark for taste, style, and performance. Hardwood in the home makes a rich visual statement but keeps cleanup a breeze. Wood floors are the perfect combination of strength and style for all homes. Floors you’d like to have the option to refinish.
What to Know Before Installation:
Above grade, over approved wooden subfloors. Let new hardwood products acclimate to the environment for 48 hours before installation. Ensure the room temperature stays between 60° and 80°F, with 35-55% relative humidity.
Species of Wood:
WALNUT- The rich, dark brown color of walnut has a distinguished, heirloom feel. Strong yet soft and light in weight, walnut’s dark, swirling grain adds depth and luster to your floor.
OAK- This hard, dense, open-grained wood has an inherent, traditional warmth. Its color tends to be neutral but varies widely, taking well to stains.
MAPLE- Maple’s light color, uniform texture, and attractive variations make it a popular choice. Known for its shock resistance, durable maple takes well to stains.
HICKORY- One of the hardest, strongest American hardwoods, hickory’s dramatic pattern and color variation emphasize its natural beauty.
Care & Maintenance:
High-quality floor mats at entrances and exits collect and trap corrosive debris like dirt, grit, oil, or chemicals that can be tracked in from outside.
