THE WAY IT FEELS

Natural character. Lasting presence.

No two boards are exactly alike. Species, grade, cut and finish work together to create the character of a wood floor. See samples in your own light before choosing.

A good starting point for

Living rooms, bedrooms and spaces where natural grain is part of the design.

Things to consider

Solid and engineered wood have different installation and refinishing requirements. Moisture, subfloor conditions and the selected product determine the right approach.

WHY HARDWOOD

Why homeowners
choose hardwood.

01

Real, natural character

Every board has its own grain and tone. Hardwood gives a room a warmth that printed floors try to copy.

02

Can be renewed

Solid hardwood can usually be sanded and refinished several times. Many engineered floors can be refinished too, depending on the thickness of the top wood layer.

03

Solid or engineered

Engineered hardwood has a real wood top over a stable layered core. It handles changes in humidity better and is often the better pick over concrete slabs.

04

A timeless look

Wide planks, classic strips, herringbone and many stain colors. Hardwood suits modern and traditional homes alike.
