HARDWOOD FLOORING offers classic beauty and character.

Interior decorators have always utilized the clean and classic look of hardwood floors as a key ingredient in their designs. Hardwood simply never goes out of fashion, providing both a timeless and a traditional basis for building a room that is at the same time stylish and inviting. Today's sophisticated manufacturing techniques produce high quality products suitable for installation in almost any room of the house.

Parkhurst Flooring offers pre-finished solid hardwood and pre-finished engineered hardwood from a wide variety of leading manufacturers. We have woods that range from the traditional oaks and maple to the exotic woods such as Brazilian cherry, mahogany, and tigerwood. Many of the wood planks are available in a variety of stains, and several finishes, from high to low gloss.

We also install unfinished solid hardwood, which we sand and seal with multiple coats of the highest grade of polyurethane. That is often the best option in some older houses where the homeowner is looking to extend or match hardwood already installed. We can usually refinish existing hardwood and blend it exactly with the new wood.

Today's pre-finished hardwoods are far superior to what was available even a few years ago. Manufacturers apply five to ten coats of finish, usually a polyurethane injected with an aluminum oxide compound to produce a much more durable and predictable finish. Many hardwood manufacturers also apply some type of ultraviolet protection to reduce the possibility of darkening or yellowing over time.

Engineered products are made by applying a layer of hardwood to a multi-layer plywood base. That allows hardwood to be installed in below grade applications, which is not recommended with solid wood products. Many of the engineered products have a wear layer thick enough that they can be screened and coated if it's ever necessary, though the quality of today's finishes makes that seem an unlikely situation.

So whether you have an existing installation that needs to be refinished or you're just ready to upgrade to a quality hardwood floor, Parkhurst Flooring can help you. Call us or stop by our showroom.
