Flooring + Surfaces

Hardwood flooring is the perfect choice for people who want natural beauty and durability. Hardwood floors can last a lifetime, providing any room with a warm, inviting atmosphere. Hardwood Flooring is a healthier choice for floor coverings. With hardwood flooring, there is no place for debris to hide, making for a healthier, safer living environment, especially for allergy sufferers.

Wood flooring may be broken into three categories:

Solid wood flooring is a solid piece of wood from top to bottom.
Engineered wood flooring is natural wood from top to bottom. Customarily made using multiple wood veneers or slats of wood glued together at opposing directions.
Composite-engineered wood flooring contains natural wood on the wearable surface only. The backing and core material may comprise any type of composite material.

Solid Hardwood Flooring is a thick solid plank cut from a tree trunk. Each plank is typically 3/4 inches wide and is available in many widths.

Engineered Hardwood Flooring uses several thin layers of wood glued together with a top layer (called the wear layer) of natural wood that gives each plank its beautiful finish. Design Hardwood Flooring protects the environment and offers Sustainable, FSC, and Leed Certified Products.
