HARDWOOD

Hardwood floors are a timeless investment that never goes out of style. Renowned for their beauty, durability, and ability to increase your home’s value, they offer a warm, inviting look that complements any décor.

Hardwood is also easy to maintain, hypoallergenic and can last for decades with proper care. Whether you’re looking for a classic, rustic, or modern aesthetic, hardwood floors bring natural elegance and unmatched quality to your space.

Facts, Finishes, and Options to Floor You

Pre-finished solid hardwood and engineered hardwood floors offer incredible variety to suit any design style and practical need. Both options come in a range of widths, with 2 1/4" to 5" being the most common for a classic look, while wider planks—up to 10"—create a modern, open feel. Thicknesses typically range from 3/8" to 3/4", with solid hardwood offering the thicker profiles for refinishing versatility and engineered hardwood designed for added stability in moisture-prone areas.

Pre-finished floors arrive ready to install, saving time and eliminating the mess of on-site finishing. Both solid and engineered options are available in smooth, wire-brushed, or hand-scraped textures, offering everything from sleek, contemporary finishes to rustic, lived-in charm. Whether you're looking to highlight the natural beauty of the wood or add bold character to a space, these hardwood options provide style and durability to fit your home and lifestyle.
