Edmonton and Calgary Hardwood Flooring Services
Your next project is with Alberta Hardwood Flooring
There’s more to a successful project than just knowing what kinds of hardwood, laminate, cork, and leather floors are available on the market. Make sure you actually see a large representative sample (color, grade, and species), our showrooms provide great comparisons of these. Don’t be afraid to ask us if you can compare products, open boxes of boards, and try assembling a few. Touch the surface of the flooring to make sure the boards are uniform and that they’re well manufactured and finished. Many floors may look alike, but in terms of performance, few compare. Now look at the following criteria and start personalizing your purchase.

1. What type of home do you live in?
If you live in a single family home, find out if your subfloor is made of wood or concrete. In a condo, special installation is required for proper soundproofing. Ask your condo association for the recommended soundproofing standards and consult our specialists.

2. What kind of furniture is in the room, and what style of decor?
Is there already flooring in the room? Are there a lot of furnishings, or just a few? What shades are they? In a new home, the ambiance you’re looking for will largely influence your choice of wood species, grade, color, and finish. Consult our in-house designers.

3. What rooms are you planning to floor?
Sketch out the rooms where you want to install your floor. Indicate the areas of the rooms and make note of stairways, closets, and any obstacles that will require special fitting. Find out what kind of subfloor you have and in what direction the joists run. In a basement, engineered flooring is the best choice.

4. How many people live in your home?
The more people there are, the greater the traffic and the more durable your finish needs to be. If you have young children or pets, a low gloss finish would be better since it minimizes the appearance of scratches.
