Solid Wood Flooring

Hardwood Flooring for years was simply a 3/4 inch thick, solid tongue-and-groove wood such as oak, beech and ash. This flooring was installed by nailing it to a wood sub-floor, sanded, stained and an oil finish or hard coat finish was applied

In today's market, the term "hardwood" is more loosely used to describe most any type of wood flooring, ranging from pine to bamboo, as a way to distinguish them from man-made synthetic flooring.

Engineered Wood Flooring

Now we touch on man-made wood flooring called laminates or engineered wood flooring. These generally are constructed of three or more layers of wood with a hardwood as the top layer at a thickness of 3/4 inch or less.

This type of construction tends to provide for a very stable product. While a full thickness of 3/4 inch wood laminate is usually installed by nailing, the thinner engineered wood flooring is either glued down or installed as a Floating Floor. This type of installation is also great for going over concrete and radiant heating.

Engineered Wood Flooring ranges in thickness sizes of 3/8" - 7/16" - 5/8" - 3/4", and some of the brands of Engineered Wood Flooring include; ARMSTRONG, GREAT NORTHERN, HOMELAND, KAHRS AND TARAGREN.

Floating Floor

A Floating floor is actually a method of installing a floor rather than a specific type of flooring material. In this method, the individual planks or boards are attached to each other,either by gluing or snapping together--but do not attach to the sub-floor on which it is being installed. One advantage of the floating floor method of installation is it allows for the floor to move and expand in response to changes in a room's humidity.

Wood Finish

Every wood floor we display and sell is a pre-finished wood product. That means that our wood flooring has been sanded, stained and is protected by a extremely tough finish coat called the wear layer and is already to install. These wear layers are produced by several different hi-tech processes but the end result is a highly durable finish that will protect the beauty of your wood floor for years!
