Solid flooring

We can help you make choices on species, stains, and finishes that will all contribute to the personalization of your solid floor. This is an excellent choice in most areas of a home on the ground level or above.
Engineered flooring
This hardwood flooring product consists of layers of wood pressed together with a solid wood veneer on its surface. Because the grains run in different directions, engineered floors are dimensionally very stable. This type of flooring can be glued, nailed, or floated over concrete slabs.
Acrylic impregnated flooring
This wood flooring undergoes a process where acrylics are compressed throughout the body of the wood itself, creating a super-hard, extremely durable floor. This type of flooring is often used in commercial installations, however, can be right at home in busy households as well.
