Engineered Flooring

Hardwood flooring is appreciated for its natural beauty and integrity. Each piece is truly unique. Every species of wood is born with subtle variations – color, tone, graining, knots, streaks, blemishes, and mineral stains. Like fine wine, high-quality hardwood ages fabulously and gains remarkable character over time.

The variations in hardwood flooring may become more distinct over time when exposed to direct sunlight. If you would prefer to reduce the potential effects of sun, you may do so by occasionally rearranging your furniture and rugs.
