• Width

• Specialized Textures
• Lengths
• Shades

Our experts will give you useful tips to help determine the right hardwood style for your home.

What Is Engineered Hardwood?

Modern shoppers can browse hardwood flooring in two categories: solid hardwood and engineered hardwood. While these two distinct flooring types appear alike, there’s more going on than meets the eye.

• Solid hardwood planks are considered the original hardwood floor. The simple constructions allow for the wood’s natural character to stick out. Solid hardwood adds value to your home, is beautiful, durable, and dependable. It does best in dry, cool spaces without heavy traffic, like a bedroom or home office. Solid hardwood floors can be refinished.

• Engineered hardwood is made of 100% wood product. The planks are made of layers of wood veneers and topped with a premium piece of surface wood. This combats wood expanding and contracting from moisture. Engineered planks stand strong amidst moderate traffic and moisture. You can install engineered floors on all levels of your home, even in a finished basement.

Hardwood & Humidity

To get the most out of hardwood flooring, understand how the planks are impacted by humidity. Wood is porous and naturally shrinks and expands with moisture exposure. This can lead to warping, gapping, cracking, cupping, and other problems with your floor.

In Kalispell, our home’s relative humidity levels will fluctuate throughout the seasons. You can use climate control to help keep your humidity levels between 30-50%, which is ideal for hardwood.

You can also use a hygrometer to measure this. Additionally, before your floors are installed, you can perform moisture testing to ensure your space is the right fit. We also provide expert installations that will provide a small amount of space for your planks to swell naturally without warping.

One of our specialized offerings is waterproof hardwood, which is made by laminating a thin wood veneer to a waterproof vinyl sublayer. A durable, moisture-repellent finish helps protect the surface from spills. One can even install our waterproof hardwood in bathrooms and kitchens.

Installing Your Hardwood Flooring

We offer quality hardwood flooring installation services. Our installers conduct an in-home measure and moisture test prior to every project. Moisture testing is one of the most important steps before installation because if the subfloor has a high moisture content, it could lead to damage over time. We’ll then prepare your subfloor, ensuring it’s flat, clean, dry, and free of imperfections.

Solid hardwood is installed using either glue or nails, while down the engineered hardwood utilizes the floating floor system. These type of planks lock together, so no need for adhesives.
