Discover Beautiful Wood Flooring With Engineered Hardwood From Hallmark Floors

FINISHES THAT ADD CHARACTER AND KEEP YOUR HARDWOOD PROTECTED

One of the trademark advantages of hardwood from Hallmark Floor is just how much visual variety is retained and protected by the range of finishes on offer to suit your home’s design. Homeowners can choose from Nu Oil coatings, UV protective coatings, smooth glaze, and more. Each of the finishes sets the wood in a different direction when it comes to the style you want to convey in your property. If you prefer a more organic flooring option that has a lower sheen than the glazed options, go for a Nu Oil finish. This lets the grain and texture do a lot of the work but still provides a generous coating that will protect the beautiful hardwood underneath. 

It’s a top choice for rooms where you want to exude a calm interior, where a more natural, more matte surface is required, which pairs well with soft furnishings and natural stone wall tiles. If you prefer the style of a weathered board that has more saturated color akin to driftwood, then the True finishes reinforce the design theme. Sometimes, it’s a style choice to opt for a time-worn design rather than something that’s too uniform and precise-looking. For refined flooring finishes, you can choose the Glaze Tek, which enhances the handcrafted character of each board, accentuating the characteristics of the raw material and making the texture pop. 

The final finish is not as processed as you might think from a glazed surface, and the authenticity of the hardwood still shines through instead of a flat, generic wooden plank that’s been heavily manufactured. For rooms that are exposed to strong sunlight throughout the day, why not opt for a Surface Guardian Pro UV finish that offers long-term resilience with no color fading over time? Ideal for bright kitchens and busy living spaces, you can be confident that the look you install will continue to match the fixtures, fittings, furnishings, and cabinetry for a long, long time. 

CHOOSE YOUR PREFERRED HARDWOOD FLOORING INSTALLATION OPTION

Many collections we house here on Stone & Tile are designed with only one type of installation across the whole range, but Hallmark Floors has all bases covered with three distinct options: glue down, glue and floating, or glue, stapled, and floating. Depending on the different underflooring types that you want to install, this wide variety gives you the choice you need to fit any approach and make it easy for you or your contractor to install. If the subfloor is not in the best condition, then you can opt for a simple glue-down option to anchor the flooring directly, giving it a solid feel underfoot. 

Products that float give much more flexibility when it comes to renovation, as you can cover existing surfaces, saving time and money ripping them out and having to reinstall a subfloor. If you want the flexibility of stapling your hardwood floor, then this traditional method is available to you, depending on the final look and feel you want to create. The range of installation techniques means that designers and contractors can think about much more than the visual aspect of the flooring, but how it will work on existing subfloors and how it interacts with other flooring transitions, such as to a tiled floor, or other style of hardwood. 

NATURAL COLOUR VARIATIONS ADD INTEREST

A defining feature of the Hallmark collection is the vast differences in color, texture, and grain variation, which signal how the flooring will look in your home. We have separated the collection into slight variations (V2), high variations (V3), as well as a random or ‘dramatic’ variation (V4). These give you a clear sense of whether your flooring will be calm or expressive once you’ve installed it, as it can sometimes be difficult to judge based on a single plank. In hardwood, this feature is especially important as it’s one of the main factors that decides how the room will feel. If you choose a high variation, expect lots of graining and knots in the wood, which add character, but if you choose a slight variation, expect a similar color and grain overall, which has less of the busyness of random variations.

What’s more, Hallmark Floors has all of the trims and moldings in exactly the same engineered hardwood, so you can complete your look in style. Choose from reducer and stair nosing as well as T-molding and threshold for seamless transitions and edgings across your whole space. This means you can choose whether your home looks busy and alive, which is ideal for large, flowing spaces, or more collected, which is more suited to a bedroom or bathroom. Browse the whole Hallmark Floors collection today and choose the right hardwood for your property, whether you go for a dark hardwood floor with lots of graining and character, or a light engineered hardwood to brighten up a room.
