Hardwood Flooring

Hardwood floors have been a popular flooring choice for hundreds of years! Not only do hardwood floors provide a timeless, warm and beautiful style to the room, if it is properly maintained it can last a very long time. Hardwood flooring is also a great investment, not only is it attractive to home buyers it will also increase the resale value of your home.

Hardwood also comes in a wide variety of wood choices. Choose between wood species, stains, colours and finishes to create a style that is custom to your home and personal taste. Hardwood flooring is a sustainable flooring option, is recyclable and is better for the environment that laminate or vinyl flooring options. Unlike carpet, hardwood flooring does not trap allergents like dust, pet hair and other debris making the air quality in your home easier to breath for those with allergies or health issues.

Engineered Hardwood

Engineered hardwood is made up of a core of hardwood, plus plywood or HDF and a top layer of hardwood veneer that is glued to the top surface of the core. You can get the veneer in almost any hardwood species. Like solid hardwood floors, this flooring product is very durable and easy to clean. Because of how it is made, engineered hardwood is less likely to warp or twist than solid hardwood and is a good choice in climates that might have fluctuating humidity levels.

Because the top layer is made of real wood, no one will know that your floors are not actually 100% solid hardwood. Like hardwood, this product is available in a variety of wood species, stains, colours and designs.

Vinyl Flooring

Vinyl is a great flooring option that fits every budget and home style.  Vinyl is a more affordbale flooring option compared to hardwood or engineered hardwood, but you won’t have to give up style, durability and longevity. When installed correctly, vinyl flooring is incredibly durable and resistant to stains, scratches and dents. Styles of vinyl flooring has come a long way, offering a variety of textures, designs and colours. You can even mimic the look of authetic wood or stone flooring.

Laminate Flooring

Laminate flooring is affordable, versatile, easy to clean and maintain. Laminate flooring can stimulate the look of dozens of different hardwood materials as well as natural stone and tile flooring, without the expensive price-tag.
