Maple Wood Flooring


Has a unique light colour and fine grain that will brighten your home.

In the lumber industry also referred to as hard maple, with a good reason. The very hard wood is heavy, strong, stiff and shock resistant. It works beautifully with both machine and hand tools. The sapwood is cream color tinged with pale brown. The heartwood is deeper reddish brown with dark mineral streaks. The most distinctive surface feature of maple, however, is the rare, highly figured grain patterns found in more variety than in any other domestic hardwood. They include: wavy, curly, quilted, blistered, fiddle-back, leaf figure, maple burl and of course, the famous bird’s eye. Although, often stained to bring out these unusual patterns, maple wood is never painted. Its color and grain is too beautiful to ever be covered.

Red Oak Wood Flooring


Beautiful reddish brown wood with a unique grain.

Red Oak is a slow growing tree and for that reason it produces hard, dense, heavy, and tough wood. It is prized for its wearability. The color of the wood ranges from nearly white cream color sapwood to a beautiful warm, pale brown heartwood, tinted with red. The close, even grain is distinguished by rays which reflect light and add to its attractiveness. Red oak is a dream to work with. It will not split when nailed and holds screws forever. It finishes beautifully because of its smooth surface and appealing color.

White Oak Wood Flooring

Traditional and warm. The perfect choice for an elegant and beautiful home.

The wood of the mighty White Oak lives up to the reputation of the tree itself, a symbol of strength and dependability. The best oak timber comes from the tall forest trees, which produce even, straight-grained wood that is hard, heavy, strong and durable. It is insect and fungi resistant. The sap conducting pores are naturally plugged with the glistening water repellent substance. This virtual waterproofing sets white oak apart from all other native hardwoods. It also machines beautifully, glues well and holds nails and screws very well. Its handsome color ranges from nearly white sapwood to a darker gray brown heartwood. It is much paler than its relative, red oak.

Hickory Wood Flooring


A narrow, up-right woodland tree, shagbark hickory is a true Native American, found nowhere else. The color of this Hickory’s wood is pale cream to a light reddish tan with a fine inconspicuous brown line. A very hard wood, hickory is exceptionally tough, strong and resilient. Like its cousin Pecan, it shrinks considerably in drying but once stable is a very useful, reliable wood. Hickory combines strength with flexibility and is a good choice, like ash, where high shock resistance is required.
