Wood Flooring Specifications

Our hardwood flooring is milled from properly kiln dried, stress relieved lumber and has a uniform moisture content of 6 to 9%. Our flooring is 3/4 inches thick and is precisely milled to NOFMA profile tongue and groove on edges and ends with a stress relieved back. Unfinished flooring is a square edged product that will require jobsite sanding to "level" any plank uprise due to uneven sub-flooring. All flooring is milled on the net full face, i.e.: a 4-inch plank will have a full 4 inch face. We offer a variety of different length flooring products to meet our customer's unique needs.

Some of the wood flooring products we supply are offered pre-finished with a seven coat UV-cured clear polyurethane finish. Pre-finished flooring is milled with micro-beveled edges.

Our flooring is sold by the net square foot of coverage. Please add 5% to your net measurement for cutting and fitting.

We offer our flooring in over a dozen different species. We also can locate hard-to-find species, figured woods, wide widths, and long lengths. Please call for a quote on your specific needs.
