features the following hardwood selections:
Custom Finishes
Find the premium hardwood flooring that suits your tastes among wood species such as Red Oak, White Oak, Maple and many more. Whether you are looking for solid or engineered hardwood floors, which can be installed over concrete or below grade, you will find a wide range of colors, grades, widths, lengths and grain patterns to choose from, providing you with plenty of design possibilities.
Wood Species
Wood species are first differentiated by their grain, in other words, by the visible contrast of the growth rings. Species such as red oak, white oak, white ash and hickory possess a pronounced wood grain that gives them character. Hard maple and yellow birch, on the other hand, display a tighter and less contrasted grain.
For a flooring project in high foot traffic rooms, you can go for a rough and textured wood, like red oak, white oak or white ash. Their rich and contrasted appearance can help conceal the everyday life mishaps.
Also know that hardwood species are more resistant to repeated impact caused by objects being dropped to the ground. Among the hardest wood species, hickory, white oak and hard maple are the most popular.
Quality Engineered Hardwood
Good quality engineered hardwood has a thick real wood veneer (3mm minimum, 4mm is the standard for refinishable floors), a stable multi-layer plywood core (not HDF or particleboard), a reputable wood species and grade, a durable pre-finished UV, water-based lacquer or hardwax oil, and verified environmental certifications (CARB Phase 2, FSC). The veneer thickness is the single most important spec: it’s what determines whether the floor can be refinished and how long it lasts.
