Installation Maintenance Warranty Why Hardwood?

Floating | Engineered | Solid

The method used for your hardwood installation will depend upon the type of product you have chosen, where the flooring will be installed and the type of sub-floor.

For example, if you are remodeling your kitchen, a Longstrip floor can be "floated" over most subfloors, including vinyl or ceramic tile, eliminating the mess and cost of tearing up the existing floor and installing a sub-floor.

Engineered products, including longstrip, which are dimensionally stable, are ideal for basements and can be nailed, glued or stapled down. Your flooring retailer or contractor will work with you to determine the best method for your situation.
