Hardwood flooring that stands the test of time

What is the difference between solid and engineered wood flooring?

Solid and engineered hardwood flooring both feature genuine wood surfaces but differ in construction.

Solid hardwood is milled from a single piece of lumber and can often be refinished multiple times, making it an excellent long-term investment.

Engineered wood flooring features a real hardwood veneer over multiple layers of plywood or composite material. Its layered construction improves stability, making it a great choice for homes that experience changing humidity levels.

Our flooring specialists will help you determine which option best fits your home, lifestyle, and budget.

Which hardwood species is right for you?

Each hardwood species offers a unique appearance and performance.

Oak wood flooring remains a popular choice because it's durable and versatile. White oak features a subtle grain with cooler tones, while red oak provides a warmer color.

Maple offers a smooth appearance and excellent hardness. Hickory is prized for its dramatic grain and durability. Walnut delivers rich, elegant color, while birch provides a clean, understated look.

We'll help you compare species to balance style, durability, and budget.

How do width and color affect hardwood flooring?

Plank width influences the overall appearance of a room. Wide planks create an open, modern feel, while narrower planks offer a more traditional look.

Color also shapes your design. Light hardwood brightens rooms and makes spaces feel larger. Medium tones provide timeless versatility, while darker floors create warmth and bold contrast.

Our showroom offers hardwood flooring in a variety of colors and plank widths for every design style.

Which hardwood finish and texture should you choose?

The finish protects your hardwood while enhancing its appearance.

Matte finishes reduce glare and help hide minor scratches. Satin finishes provide a soft sheen, while glossy finishes create a polished look.

Texture adds personality. Smooth hardwood delivers a clean appearance, while wire-brushed flooring highlights natural grain and helps disguise wear. Hand-scraped and distressed styles create rustic character.

Our design consultants can help you coordinate the ideal finish and texture for your home.

How do you clean and maintain hardwood floors?

Hardwood flooring is easy to maintain with regular care.

Sweep or dust frequently to remove dirt before it scratches the finish. Vacuum using a hardwood-safe attachment, and clean with products designed for hardwood floors. Avoid excessive water and harsh chemicals.

Place mats at entrances, use felt pads beneath furniture, and wipe up spills promptly. Maintaining consistent indoor humidity also helps protect your investment.

With proper care, wood floors can remain beautiful for decades.
