Beautiful Hardwood Flooring

Hardwood Floors have been appreciated for ages for their beauty, warmth, convenience and value. Today’s technology gives you the opportunity to use it in various applications. Typically solid hardwood is installed over a layer of plywood or OSB subfloor. It is not suitable for basements or over concrete.

Solid Hardwood

Solid wood flooring is hardwood flooring made from one solid piece of timber. Solid wood flooring is available in a wide variety of sizes and species ranging in durability from pine to maple. Solid hardwood products are available in different gloss levels and surface treatments like hand-scraped, wire-brushed, oiled, or etched.

Flat Cut

Unlike quarter cut hardwood, most hardwood floors are made of wood that is cut along the wood grain called flat cut. This method allows for more economical floor production, minimizing waste.

We recommend that Solid floors be installed over 5/8″ plywood, 5/8″ T-G wood or 23/32″ OSB subfloor. Particle Board needs to be reinforced with 3/8” plywood.
Install only in rooms that are on the ground level or above. Nail or staple installation.

For basements we recommend Solid Sawn, Engineered or Laminate flooring.

Wire Brushed

Wire-brushed flooring is handcrafted.  The soft content of the board is removed with a wire brush creating a unique texture and appearance.

The hand made grooved surface absorbs stain with different intensity, enhancing the antiqued effect. The texture makes the floor very forgiving of wear and tear.
