Premium. Elegant. Durable. Sustainable.
Locally sourced hardwood
There is no questions that carpet can have a majestic
look. It can have a nice royal, opulent touch. And
good quality, properly
manufactured laminate floor
can be a nice subtle choice when you don't want the floor to
be too visible and you want other features to shine.
But
when it comes to elegance, the only real choice is
hardwood. There is something extremely classy about a
properly preserved wood floor. It has a classic and
timeless nature.
Maybe it's because the wood
itself is often made from trees that were hundreds of years
old. Maybe it's because the wood give the room a very
warm character. Whatever it's qualities, wood flooring
is elegance itself.
Yes, hardwood floors require maintenance and we offer service
contracts to ensure that your wood stays looking your
best. We also offer products so that you can manage the
maintenance yourself.
It does require effort, but
if you put in the work, your floor can last many hundreds of
years. It can actually last over a
century.
Why? Because wood is a
very strong and resilient material. It can easily handle
foot traffic. And it is naturally more resistant to wear
and tear than other flooring materials.
Hardwood
is an investment when it comes to
cost and maintenance. But from value return standpoint stands in a class
all of its own.
Hardwood floors are our biggest sellers. Why? We
were surprised to find out that our large commercial buyers
have data suggesting that wood floors have the best resell
value.
Sure wood floors are very durable and likely
to stay in great shape for many years. But even when
compared with brand new laminate or carpet flooring, hard wood
adds the most value to a property that is being
re-sold.
Perhaps it's because hardwood
flooring is considered a premium feature. After all, it
is the most expensive of the flooring types, save maybe
marble, and that commands the attention of buyers.
There are many flooring options available, but none come even
close from a sustainability standpoint to hardwood. When
hardwood is produced in sustainably grown tree farms, the
resource is sustainable almost indefinitely.
Our
tree grows have been in operation for over a century, years
before we even transitioned to making hardwood floors.
We are careful to select trees in such a way as to maintain
the overall health of our grove.
Hardwood
is not only readily replenishable it is also sustainable
because the product itself is ecologically friendly. It
will break down in a matter of years completely into its
organic components and become one with the soil. There
is absolutely no toxicity to the environment.
OUR TOP HARDWOOD PRODUCTS
The most popular wood used in hardwood flooring is
oak. Why? It is one of the strongest
woods. It is the hardest. And that means that it
is
extremely durable. It will be able to withstand foot traffic. It
can even handle things like chairs and tables that are not
padded because it is harder than the wood those items are
actually made out of.
Another feature of oak is
the grain patterns. These are considered to be
especially beautiful. The red oak has really beautiful
pinkish undertones in the swirls. The white oak has a
cool hue.
Cherry is a
beautiful hardwood. It has a rich reddish color, infused with
brown. It is truly elegant.
What is amazing
about cherry is that it's color actually darkens and
increases in richness over time. That is why aged
cherry wood is actually significantly more expensive the
younger cherry wood.
Of course you need to
properly care for any hardwood for it to grow in value, but
if you give your cherry wood flooring the love they deserve
the will be a true investment.
If oak is one of the strongest woods, then hickory is
the strongest. Many of our clients are in the
commercial and residential resale spaces. They need
their properties to be durable, so that they can maximize
profits.
Durability means that they will have to
do less repairs when the properties are being rented
out. It also means that fewer repairs need to be done
after the clients move out. And finally less repairs
will need to be done to sell the properties.
Oak
can really take a beating, all while looking amazing, and
that is why our customers love it.
