Solid hardwood flooring
Timeless natural wood, through the full thickness of the plank. Solid hardwood is a lasting choice when the room, subfloor and installation are right.
Know your floor
A traditional floor with lasting character.
Solid hardwood is milled from a single piece of wood. Species, grade and finish shape its appearance—from calm, consistent grain to a floor with more knots and natural variation. Plank width and room conditions also influence how it performs.
An honest comparison
The advantages. The trade-offs.
Why people choose it
- Natural wood warmth, grain and individuality.
- Many solid wood floors can be sanded and refinished over their service life.
- A broad choice of finishes and traditional installation patterns.
What to keep in mind
- Seasonal humidity changes can cause movement and gaps.
- Below-grade and moisture-prone spaces often call for another flooring choice.
- Solid wood can dent or scratch and is not waterproof.
Installation matters
A good floor starts underneath.
The subfloor, fastening method and acclimation requirements must suit the selected product. We help you assess site conditions and plan the flooring with your stairs, transitions and trim for a considered finish.
We can also help you coordinate flooring colours, textures and finishes with the rest of your interior. Bring your cabinet, paint or countertop samples to our showroom.
