BEAUTIFUL ENGINEERED HARDWOOD FLOORING FOR YOUR HOME

When you want the look and feel of real wood in your home that is both attractive and durable, then there’s no better choice than engineered hardwood flooring. This type of flooring is popular because it lets the natural wood surface shine through while still keeping a layer of protection on the surface, which ensures it will stay looking amazing for many years to come. It is suitable for both commercial and residential interiors where the warmth of hardwood is required, but also a flooring option that works well with modern installations and high foot traffic. 

Just like handhewn planks in days gone by, this collection features random plank length formats so you can use your design ability to position planks in the right location to create the perfect aesthetic. This style helps the floor look more natural once it has been installed in the home because the board ends won’t all align in the same place. The varied layout is one of the reasons homeowners prefer hardwood flooring over more modern vinyl planks or wood-look vinyl sheet. It provides an eye-catching pattern that is not as repetitive, and gives the floor a look similar to a traditional wood installation. 

MATCHING HARDWOOD TRIMS FOR A MORE COMPLETE INSTALLATION

True hardwood flooring does not just stop at the main planks laid in a specific order, and it’s the finishing touches around the transitions, edges, doorways, and stairs that can make a huge difference to how the final project looks. There are so many options to choose from for each of the plank collections that you can create a cohesive look that gives every room that intentional, put-together style. For each of the planks, you can also choose the following matching trims: T-moldings, thresholds, reducers, quarter rounds, and flush stair noses. Each piece in the collection has a different and special job when the flooring system is being installed. 

T-molding is useful where two flooring surfaces that have a similar height meet, such as two different types of complementary plank between rooms or when transitioning into a different area in an open plan setting. If you are going to be changing surfaces between doors, then a threshold piece is essential to give a smooth opening that you barely notice, as it's the exact same tone and style as the wood. One of the main issues homeowners have when transitioning from one room to another that involves different materials, such as hardwood flooring to floor tiles, or engineered hardwood planks to LVP. In these situations, you’ll need to use a reducer to even out the height between the floors so you can walk seamlessly from one to another. As opposed to being on the main flooring surface, quarter-round is intended to run around the whole edge of the room. This covers any gaps that are left between the boards and the wall, which is sometimes done on purpose to account for wood expansion, and it gives a clean look from wall to wall. 

Many homeowners opt for hardwood installations on stairs, and the edges of boards that are exposed can ruin the aesthetic. Here, you can use a matching flush stair nose piece that not only looks amazing, but it also protects the edge of the step from constant usage. These details really matter in any flooring installation, as without them the floor can look unfinished with visible gaps, awkward edges, and transitions that catch your foot or shoe every time you pass over them. 

AN EXCELLENT COLLECTION FOR CONTRACTORS AND DIY INSTALLERS

Many homeowners hesitate to install flooring on their own as it tends to form the background of the room that the look depends on. Even if planks are out of place by a few millimetres, the whole room can appear uncoordinated. However, with the engineered hardwood planks from Big D Supply, homeowners can take the initiative to install their own flooring, whether it’s a small DIY project in a bedroom or the full home. Working across larger spaces can be intimidating, but as this flooring option comes with nail-down, float, or glue options, you can select the method that appeals to you best. If you’re a contractor looking for beautiful hardwood flooring for your client, then you’ll be pleased with the ease of installation of not only the planks but also the matching trims. 

Flooring projects rarely involve simple square footage and need to take into account uneven floors, stairs, edges, corners, transitional doorways, and joins between different materials. But when you are equipped with all of the matching trims, nothing is too hard to install. You can calculate the exact lengths of trims and mouldings you need, so you can place your order with Stone & Tile at the same time. Measure the perimeter of the room for our quarter rounds, and the length of reducer or T-molding you’ll need to cover every part of the space. These products come with an extensive 25-year residential warranty, so you’ll be able to enjoy high-quality engineered hardwood flooring for many years to come.
