“Flooring is one piece of a bigger puzzle, and as such it needs to fit within the homeowner’s overall aesthetic and budget. If the home has a very neutral setting and décor, a more dramatic flooring might be appropriate, but typically the flooring is a complementary component of the design and should work with the style of home, paint colours, etc.” – Zech Inkster (Founder at Plank + Saw: Hardwood Flooring in Victoria BC + Southern Vancouver Island + Gulf Islands) Read Interview here
The Right Floor Is About More Than the Wood
Professional Hardwood Flooring Installation
Flooring is one piece of a much bigger design.
The right hardwood needs to work with the architecture of your home, cabinetry, paint colours, furniture, natural light and the other materials throughout the space.
It also needs to make sense technically.
The construction of the home, subfloor, moisture conditions, location and even heating system can affect which products and installation methods are appropriate.
Our job is to help you navigate both sides of that decision.
Hardwood Flooring
Hardwood for Renovations & New Construction
Whether you’re renovating one part of an existing home or selecting flooring for a completely new space, planning early can make a significant difference.
We can work with homeowners, builders, designers and other trades to consider the flooring requirements before installation begins.
Our consultation services can include considerations such as:
- Material specification
- Solid vs. engineered hardwood
- Installation method
- Wood over radiant in-floor heating
- Flooring below grade
- Flooring over crawl spaces
- Stain and finish selection
- Custom installation details
Choosing The Right Flooring
Solid or Engineered Hardwood?
Solid Hardwood Flooring
Made from solid wood, traditional hardwood offers the natural character and longevity that has made wood flooring a defining feature of homes for generations.
Depending on your project, solid hardwood can be an excellent option for creating a timeless floor that becomes part of the home itself.
Engineered Hardwood Flooring
Engineered hardwood combines a real hardwood surface with a layered construction designed to improve dimensional stability.
It can provide greater flexibility for projects where environmental conditions, installation requirements or the construction of the home make traditional solid hardwood less suitable.
