Wood Flooring

    Hardwood floors give your home the elegance and timeless beauty found only in real wood.  Wood floors are an investment and add value to your home like no other floor covering can.  Hardwood flooring is available in many species, like the minimalist uniform look of Natural Maple, to the extreme color variation found in Hickory.  Each species has different grades, like Oak Select & Better which has boards of similar consistency compared to #2 Common Grade Oak which has extreme color variation and mineral streaking. There are different widths available, from the traditional look of 2 ¼” wide boards to 3 ¼” wide boards, which are more commonly used today.  They are available in pre-finished varieties, or choose a raw wood that is sanded and finished in your home to achieve a particular color of stain.

Solid Wood Flooring
    Available in pre-finished or unfinished, ¾” thick hardwood floors are the traditional floors that have been used in homes for centuries.  Boards come in varying lengths, typically from 2’ to 5’ long, to give you the elegant appearance you expect in a wood floor.  Solid wood floors can be sanded several times in their life, which explains why homes built in the 19th century often still have their original floors in service.

Engineered Wood Flooring
    Engineered wood floors are made using layers of wood each turned 90 degrees to the previous layer to give you a strong wood floor that is much more dimensionally stable.  A top veneer of hardwood is applied as the wear surface, and many engineered floors have a surface thick enough to be sanded and re-finished.  Engineered floors like Kahrs from Sweden, are designed to be installed as a “floating floor,” so the boards are attached to each other, but not fastened to the sub-floor.  Floating floors are ideal to use over concrete, or in remodeling projects when particle board sub-flooring is discovered under old carpet.  For those who have environmental concerns, engineered floors use less of the premium hardwood typically used in solid wood floors.

Pre-finished vs. Jobsite Sanding and Finishing
    There are so many varieties and stain colors of pre-finished floors today that you can almost certainly find one to meet your needs.  Pre-finished floors typically have between 5 and 8 coats of polyurethane applied, and in many cases have the addition of aluminum oxide to help minimize finish dulling in traffic lanes.  The beauty of pre-finished flooring is that it minimizes the amount of dust in your home, and reduces the odor of applying polyurethane on-sight.  Most pre-finished floors have a very slight beveled edge which is why some people choose to go the route of jobsite sanding and finishing to provide flooring that is sanded perfectly smooth.  If a particular stain color needs to be achieved, jobsite finishing allows the opportunity to arrive at the perfect color.

Re-finishing your Wood Floors
    The beauty of polyurethane finishes on flooring today is that they can be re-surfaced without actually sanding away any wood.  Most wood floors can be screened and re-coated with polyurethane, which means that the surface is simply scuffed before the new finish is applied.  Of course, in the event of severe scratching, they generally can be re-sanded and finished to bring back their original beauty.

    Discover the rich, enchanting character of exotic hardwood flooring, like Brazilian Cherry, Santos Mahogany, and Amendoim, from BR-111.  Brazilian hardwoods offer superior hardness levels and distinctive graining to provide characteristics that are unique to each species.  BR-111 is committed to the preservation and renewal of the rain forest, actively promoting sustainable forest practices and securing timber that is selectively harvested and inspected by the Brazilian Institute of the Environment and Natural Resources.


Laminate Flooring
   
    We carry major brand names of laminate flooring, from Pergo and Wilsonart, to Armstrong, Mannington, and Formica.  The Swedish manufacturer Pergo, was the first company to develop flooring using a plastic laminate surface back in 1984, and introduced it to the U.S. market in 1994.  There have been many major improvements that you will see in today’s laminate floors, from the appearance of hand-scraped wood flooring to textured slate and stone.  Laminate floors are extremely durable, highly resistant to indentations, and are very stain and fade resistant.  And, since you never need to apply a finish to laminate floors, they are very easy to maintain.

Installation is a Snap
    Laminate floors are installed using then “floating” floor installation process, and most varieties have snap-together joints that make it a perfect choice for do-it-yourself installation.  While many of our customers choose to make use of our professional installation service, our sales’ staff can provide you the necessary guidance if you prefer to try it yourself.
