What is hardwood?
Hardwood flooring refers to flooring made from solid wood, typically harvested from trees such as oak, maple, or cherry. It’s renowned for its durability, natural beauty, and timeless appeal.
What’s the difference between engineered hardwood and solid hardwood flooring?
Solid hardwood is made from a single piece of wood, while engineered hardwood consists of multiple layers with a solid wood veneer on top and a plywood base. Engineered hardwood offers enhanced durability and moisture resistance, making it ideal for areas with fluctuating temperatures or humidity—perfect for Canadian homes.
What are the benefits of engineered wood flooring?
Engineered wood flooring is more resistant to moisture and temperature fluctuations, making it suitable for areas like basements and kitchens. It also tends to be more affordable than solid hardwood.
Can hardwood flooring be installed over concrete?
Yes, both solid hardwood and engineered wood flooring can be installed over concrete subfloors with proper preparation and installation techniques.
How is hardwood flooring installed?
Hardwood flooring is typically installed by either nailing, stapling, or gluing the boards to the subfloor, depending on the type of hardwood and the installation method chosen.
What is the installation process for engineered wood flooring?
Engineered wood flooring can be installed using various methods, including floating, glue-down, or nail-down techniques, depending on the specific product and subfloor conditions.
Is engineered hardwood better for high-moisture areas?
Yes, engineered hardwood is generally more suitable for high-moisture areas like basements or bathrooms due to its enhanced resistance to moisture compared to solid hardwood.
Can hardwood flooring be installed over radiant heating systems?
Yes, hardwood flooring, including engineered wood, can be installed over radiant heating systems, but it’s essential to follow manufacturer guidelines and use appropriate installation methods.
How should hardwood flooring be maintained?
Regular maintenance for hardwood flooring includes sweeping or vacuuming to remove debris, promptly cleaning spills, using felt pads on furniture legs to prevent scratches, and periodic refinishing as needed.
What are the common finishes for hardwood flooring?
Common finishes for hardwood flooring include polyurethane, oil-based finishes, water-based finishes, and wax. Each finish offers different levels of durability and aesthetic appeal.
What is the average lifespan of hardwood flooring?
With proper care and maintenance, solid hardwood flooring can last for generations. Engineered wood flooring typically has a lifespan of 20-30 years, depending on usage and maintenance.
Is hardwood flooring environmentally friendly?
Hardwood flooring sourced from responsibly managed forests or reclaimed wood is considered environmentally friendly. Engineered wood flooring often utilizes fast-growing wood species and reduces waste compared to solid hardwood.
What are the cost considerations for hardwood flooring installation?
Factors affecting the cost of hardwood flooring installation include the type of wood, installation method, subfloor condition, and any additional materials or services required, such as moisture barriers or trim.
Can hardwood flooring be installed in below-grade areas?
While solid hardwood is not recommended for below-grade areas due to moisture concerns, certain types of engineered wood flooring with moisture-resistant cores can be suitable for basements and similar spaces.
How does humidity affect hardwood flooring?
Fluctuations in humidity levels can cause hardwood flooring to expand or contract, leading to gaps, cupping, or buckling. Maintaining consistent indoor humidity levels between 30-50% helps minimize these issues.
Are there any alternatives to hardwood flooring?
Yes, alternatives to hardwood flooring include laminate flooring, luxury vinyl planks (LVP), and ceramic or porcelain tile flooring, each offering unique benefits and aesthetic options.
How long before I can have my hardwood installed?
If we have the materials in stock, we can schedule installation as fast as the next day, and with over $1,000,000 of in-stock inventory, next-day installations are common. If we need to order your hardwood in, we advise that it may take 7 to 10 business days for delivery and installation.
How long does the installation take?
Many hardwood installations take 1 day or less, but for very large orders it may run into a second day.
What do I need to do to be ready for my hardwood installation?
All pictures/decor should be off of your walls and any shelves and/or flat surfaces should be clear. You’ll want to take anything breakable out of the room. A lot of people do not remove pictures on walls but if you choose to leave them we will not be responsible if they fall. Typically if they are properly hung it is not an issue.
Is professional installation recommended?
Yes, professional installation is recommended to ensure the best fit and appearance of your hardwood, as well as to maximize its lifespan.
Can hardwood be installed over existing flooring?
That depends on what type of flooring that is currently there and the condition of that flooring. We can’t install hardwood over carpet but we can install hardwood over vinyl or hard surface assuming that the flooring is in good shape and doesn’t require any major repairs. If this is something you’re considering, have your sales rep check if it’s possible.
How long before I can walk on the new hardwood?
Typically there is no waiting time before the hardwood can be walked on as most hardwood installations are completed without the use of adhesives.
Do I need to empty the rooms and take up the old flooring?
We include the removal of the old flooring and moving of furniture on our quotes. However, if you choose to do those tasks yourself please have the areas completely empty and ready for flooring upon the arrival of the installation team.

What is involved in carpet installation?
Carpet installation includes measuring the area, preparing the subfloor, laying the carpet, stretching it, trimming excess, and finishing with baseboards and transitions.
How do I choose the right carpet for my home?
Consider factors such as fiber type, pile height, color, texture, durability, and your lifestyle when choosing carpet for your home. Visiting carpet stores and consulting with experts can help you make an informed decision.
Where can I find carpet stores near me?
You can find carpet stores near you by searching online directories, map applications, or asking for recommendations. You can also search for “carpet stores near me” online for immediate results.

The cost of new carpet installation and replacement varies based on several factors, including the size of the area, the quality of the carpet, additional materials required, and labor costs. On average, you can expect to pay between $2 to $6 per square foot for installation. For a more accurate estimate, it’s best to get quotes from multiple sources to compare prices.

Can I install carpet in bathrooms and kitchens?
While it’s possible to install carpet in these areas, it’s not recommended due to moisture and potential staining. Consider alternative flooring options such as tile, vinyl, or laminate.
What are carpet tiles, and how are they different from traditional carpet rolls?
Carpet tiles, also known as carpet squares or planks, are modular sections of carpeting that are typically square or rectangular. They provide a flexible and versatile flooring solution, allowing for easy installation and design creativity. Unlike traditional carpet rolls, which cover large areas in one continuous piece, carpet tiles can be installed individually. This makes them easier to replace if damaged and offers more options for mixing patterns and colors to create custom designs.
What are the advantages of using carpet tiles?
Advantages of carpet tiles include easy installation, flexibility in design, ability to replace individual tiles, suitability for DIY projects, and durability in high-traffic areas.

Regular vacuuming and spot cleaning are typically sufficient to maintain carpet tiles. Some carpet tiles are also designed to be removable for easier cleaning or replacement.
