Maple floors, easy to maintain, affordable, and simply beautiful!

Practical and Affordable

Rated at 1450 in the Janka Hardness Coefficient table, and going as low as $3.49 per square foot, maple is a serious contender for beauty and longevity, while still affordable.

Probably the best feature of maple flooring that many people do not know about, is maple’s natural resistance to moisture; this makes it a perfect candidate if you do not have too much time to maintain your floors, or simply if you just want one less thing to worry about. This is the reason why maple is a favourite amongst much furniture, and many bowling alleys. Fungi and bacteria is less of a worry with maple floors.

As it is sturdy against the humid environment, it is easy to maintain. Maple floors are easily dust mopped, and vacuumed. If you dislike the energy expenditure or the noise of the vacuum, a broom and a dust pan will just do it.

A natural beauty that is also audible

While hard maple is strong enough to carry out the daily duties as wood flooring, maple is still softer than other hardwood flooring species like Jatoba or Tigerwood. Although hard maple (the maple used for flooring), is not exactly the same species as the one used for musical instruments, they share much in common, including belonging to the same family.

Maple is actually one of the best acoustic wood species out there (alongside with Mahogany), so much, that it is commonly selected as prime material for many musical instruments due to its relative hardness compared to other tone-woods. This gives it a rich, brighter sound, which many violin, cellos, and guitar manufacturers take advantage of. This could be something to think of, if you are planning on enjoying classical pieces on your newly installed floor.

Is simply beautiful

While maple comes in different shades, and you can find it stained with different colours, maple has a unique natural feel to it, that is equals to none. The richness of contrast and its smooth, grainless nature finish, makes it a perfect companion to contemporary decor.

Alert: Hazards in Hardwood Floor Installation and Finishing

Hazard Summary:

Many solvent-based products are still widely used in the installation and finishing of hardwood floors. They are often highly flammable and/or combustible and pose a significant risk of fire and explosion. As well, when improperly handled they may cause acute or chronic health effects in workers.

The process of hardwood floor installation and finishing usually involves the use of three kinds of product:

An adhesive is used to apply wood flooring to concrete or other types of sub-floor.
A sanding sealer mixed with sawdust is applied to the sanded wood surface.
A varnish is applied as a top coat as soon as the sanding sealer has dried.

Improper handling of these products may present the following hazards:

Fire or Explosion

The use of these products in enclosed and poorly ventilated areas may cause a significant build-up of vapours, to a point where sparks or open flames can ignite the vapours, causing a fire or explosion. The Ministry of Labour has investigated cases in which fires and explosions have resulted in fatalities.

Inhalation of Vapours

These products contain organic solvents and other substances: epoxies, urea-formaldehyde, polyurethane, and nitrocellulose resins and additives. If the products are improperly handled, workers can be exposed to high levels of solvent or other vapours. Prolonged and repeated exposure to high levels of these vapours may produce both acute and chronic adverse health effects.

Direct Skin Contact

Direct contact with these products can cause skin dermatitis and/or sensitization. Sufficient absorption through the skin could lead to adverse systemic health effects.

Locations and Sectors:

Construction or renovation of low rise and high rise residential and industrial, commercial and institutional buildings.

Required Measures and Procedures:

The manufacturer’s instructions included in the Material Safety Data Sheets shall be strictly followed.
Adequate ventilation shall be provided to ensure a dilution rate of at least 25% of the Lower Explosion Limit (LEL) of the solvent vapour mixture in the air.
All open flames and sources of ignition that may be present in the area itself or within the heating and ventilation systems shall be eliminated.
All equipment present in the area shall be fire-resistant and explosion-proof.
Adequate respiratory protection shall be provided and used. Respirators shall be fitted to ensure an effective seal between the respirator and the worker’s face.
A respirator program for the proper selection, use and maintenance of respirators shall be instituted. The program shall include written instruction for workers.
Protective gloves or cream barriers shall be provided to prevent direct skin contact with these products.
Workers shall be trained to follow good personal hygiene, in order to prevent skin dermatitis, sensitization and skin absorption.
Adequate product-specific training shall be provided to workers, as required under the WHMIS legislation [R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 860 as amended by O. Reg. 36/93].
Less toxic products should be used where these are available, to prevent both short-term and long-term adverse effects in workers.

Health Alert! Change your carpet for hardwood flooring now!!

Replacing your carpet with hardwood flooring might be more than an aesthetic endeavour. Get ride of that old carpet and get Hardwood Flooring, your health might depend on it.

Replacing your old carpet with hardwood flooring has more benefits than simple aesthetic appeal. It will add style to your home and create an entirely different energy and vibe throughout your home. It’s an easy and instant change that can even help raise your resale value. But, there is an even more important reason to get rid of that old carpet. We have addressed this in a blog on the air quality before, but it is worth discussing again. Carpet is the largest contributor to pollution in your home. Carpet contains VOCs that can release chemicals into your home for up to 5 years after your initial installation.

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are carbon-based chemicals. According to the EPA, these compounds are emitted as gases from certain solids or liquids. They contain a variety of chemicals, some that may cause short- and long-term adverse health effects. To tip the iceberg, the concentrations of these VOCs are ten times higher inside your home than outside. Then add in all the things that get stuck in your carpet such as dust and hair, which contribute to asthma and seasonal allergies. It’s pretty gross when you get down into the dirty of it all.

Health effects could be eye, nose and throat issues, headaches, nausea and loss of coordination to start with symptoms ranging from conjunctival irritation, irritated nose and throat or skin allergy symptoms. More serious effects may include: liver damage, kidney and nervous system and some organics are known to cause cancer in animals as well as humans. More severe symptoms you could experience are dyspnea (difficulty breathing), vomiting, epistaxis (anterior and/or posterior bleeding), fatigue and dizziness. Now, with any exposure to a pollutant, the health effects are dependent upon level of exposure and length of time you have been exposed. But why even potentially put yourself and your family at risk?

This is a very important issue. Canadian and American made flooring follow a standards that are not as strict as other countries. Please read a message from Ron Ander the president of Hardwood Flooring Store LTD.

Hardwood floors stay cleaner, last longer, are more durable and if installation is completed effectively using environmentally friendly tools then it won’t emit harmful chemicals inside your home!

Is Dark Hardwood Flooring the New Trend?

Dark hardwood floors are trending in the flooring world right now. They are modern, chic and bring a sense of warmth to any space. The problem however with choosing a bold flooring choice is finding a way to properly integrate into the overall design of a specific room or your house as a whole.

Pairing the right furniture and decor will make the space open up and feel warm and inviting, but with the wrong colours and textures a dark hardwood floor can have the tendency to make the room feel dark and heavy. So if you have been looking for the right way to go about your redesign, take a look at these simple ideas and get ready to enjoy your new dark wood floors.

Keep it light

This is the contrast school of design. With dark hardwood floors try painting the walls white and buy furniture that is of the same tone as your floors but on the lighter end of the tonal scale. The white walls and the warm furniture will provide a nice contrast but not be too much of a difference as to appear stark and uninviting.

Touch of Colour

We all have a favorite colour but you are worried that it won’t work alongside your dark floors. Fear not. Find a nice bright version of your favorite colour and use it as your accent. The key to this trick is to use the accent colouring wisely, not let it overwhelm the space, and to mix in as much white as possible. The three colours will play off each other and keep the eye interest yet not distracted.

Texture is out

If you are looking to strike a more urban, stark, modern vibe to your space keep your decor and furniture colour choice in the gray space and mix in a bunch of different textures to add depth and interest to the room. Try leather pillows, shag rug, fabric accent chairs, metal side tables. This mix of textures will add visual interest to the room while keep it muted enough to retain the modern downtown loft kind of feel.

Some people will tell you that an easy way to get around decorating with dark hardwood floors is simply to cover them up as much as possible with large rugs. I think this is a lazy way to decorate and design your home. You spend all this money on dark hardwood floors just to cover them up. With a little homework and the right eye for picking furniture and decor, you will have a home that not only looks good but feels welcoming as soon as you step in the front door.

When looking into hardwood flooring quality is always best. You want a product that is not only safe but that will last in your home for generations. This trend in sustainable practice is something that is growing fast and spreading to other sectors. The consumer of tomorrow will not make his or her decision based solely on price, but rather on product sustainability and the actual sustainable practices of the maker. The next economy will grow in their concern for how and where the product was manufactured and if that place is socially responsible.

Hardwood floors are built for the future. While it is not an industry that will have late breaking technology developments, with hardwoods floors integrated with Bluetooth; the flooring industry is looking ahead long term.

The Hardwood Flooring Store is a proud supplier of quality sustainable products that are certified and of the highest quality. We carry only the best brands available on the market and that are ensured to last in your home for decades. Visit The Hardwood Flooring Store and one of our knowledgeable associates will gladly work with you to help figure out the right Hardwood Flooring Product for your home.

Tigerwood Flooring, the champion of the flooring world.

Tigerwood is one of the most visually interesting hardwoods on the U.S. & Canadian markets. It’s named for its striking longitudinal bands which resemble tiger stripes. As the wood ages the coloration darkens slightly and the stripes become nearly black. Tigerwood is prized as much for its durability as its beauty.

Tigerwood is the kind of the exotic hardwood flooring family! Tigerwood hardwood flooring is one of the hardest floors with a Janka solidity up to 2160, that is 67% harder than Red Oak at 1210.

The Birch Advantage. Enchanting visual appeal, affordable price!

Why choosing birch might be harder than choosing other hardwood floors

More often than not, people at the hardwood flooring store asks about the difference between maple, oak, and birch. It seems users are truly doing their homework, and research tends to lead them into these three-contender-competition, that seems to be popular in the web.

The truth being told, all hardwood species have their particulars, and like everything in life, ups and downs will be found within diverse candidates to do the job.

But one constant seems to resonate amongst shoppers, and that is a reluctance of choosing birch as the number one candidate for their floors.

In part, the abundance of oak, the popularity of maple, and the solidity of hickory, play a major role in birch being out of the top-three candidates when shopping around, but also it seems that people do not seem to know enough about it to make an informed decision.

Birch: The unusual suspect

Found in temperate climate across the northern hemisphere (specially in the East Coast), birch tends to be a medium-size tree with bark having long, horizontal marks (formally called lenticels), that separate the outer layer into thin, flaky, paper-like plates.

Birch hardwood is characteristic for varying colour gradations, even within the same tree. The reason for this, being the different tones from heartwood to sapwood. This might not appeal to everyone, but it is one enchanting visual characteristic that makes birch very unique.

Even with this ‘tone-range’ birch colours are warm and suitable for bedrooms and living rooms, where traffic might not be as high as a kitchen or dinning room. Remember, birch is softer than hickory, maple, or oak, which in the long-run, might need higher maintenance if installed in high-trafficked areas.

Birch hardwood’s natural highlights provide an elegant way of making rooms look bigger and somewhat playful. This might work very well for an area like a home library, providing visual stimulation, and giving the sense of greater space, where usually book shelves take substantial real-state.

Birch’s intermediate grain patterns do not fluctuate as much as oak, nor are as straight-forward, modern-looking, as maple’s, which truly makes it a well-rounded contender for un-stated visual appeal.

Of course, with so many options and points to consider you may want some assistance and sound advice to aide you with your decision making. When it comes to advice make sure you speak to experts that know what they are talking about and will offer you the best opinions based on experience. Contact us at the Hardwood Flooring Store and we can help you get the floors of your dreams.

Buying Exotic Hardwood Flooring For The Best Price

Solid hardwood flooring gives a home character and beauty that is unsurpassed by other types of flooring. What if we told you that you could convert your everyday hardwood flooring into an exotic masterpiece – without spending the kitchen sink? When you select exotic hardwood flooring from the experts at the Hardwood Flooring Stores. We’ve negotiated with some of the top manufacturers for the world’s most beautiful, stunning hardwood species, bringing you a exceptional, Canadian approach to modern hardwood flooring.

Hardwood floors add to the value of your home wherever they are installed. Their return on investment is one of the best in the flooring industry. They truly are an investment in a home, not just an expense. The appeal to homeowners is that hardwood floors function well in traditional homes and contemporary homes alike, with flooring options to fit any design style. Widths as narrow as 2 ¼” and wider than 7” are available in the finish and colour of your choice.

Quality and Safety first

We source only Canadian and US manufactured products for our customers. There’s a huge quantity of hardwood flooring that is manufactured from illegally sourced lumber in the Siberian and Malaysian forests. The New Yorker did a full expose about the illegally sourced logs that are shipped by massive trains or ships to China where it is used in the manufacturing of hardwood flooring. In many cases these products are packaged with deceptive wording making it look like it is made in Canada or the U.S.A.

You can’t put a package of bubble gum on a shelf in Shopper’s Drug mart without the ingredients and health information listed in French and English but you can get away with bringing products from China and label the cartons in a deceptive way to make people think that it is made in Canada.

Why is Canadian manufactured hardwood flooring important?

1. Strict health and safety issues for the factory workers making the flooring.

2. Strict regulations on the chemicals used in the adhesives and finishes.

3. Living wages paid to the workers

4. Flooring made in our market is for our climatic conditions.

5. Certified selective harvesting of lumber in our sustainable forests.

6. Local manufacturers with real warranties

7. All revenue from manufacturing and distribution stays in our country

8. Canadian pride in manufacturing leading to the very best quality in the world.

What is Exotic Flooring?

While there is no official definition of “exotic wood,” the term generally refers to species that are not found in North America. They are imported from tropical, faraway places like Africa, Australia, the Far East, and Brazil.

So, what makes exotic hardwoods so desirable to so many people, especially for their homes?

Their appeal lies in their unusual and striking appearance, which differs by species and even from tree to tree of the same species. Exotic hardwood floors are known and loved for their distinctive color tones, textures, and grains.

At Hardwood Flooring Store we have selected the four finest exotic hardwoods to create a stunning array of floors that are Lacey Act compliant, to ensure legally sourced timber.

African Sapele

Looking for a dramatically elegant floor? Consider crimson–chestnut Sapele, with its crisscrossed and streaked or honeycomb grain and its rippling, banded, or speckled patterns. Sapele is not an endangered species—it is abundant in Africa.

Brazilian Cherry

Grown in the forests of Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, South America, and French Guinea, this stunning hardwood features earthy browns with soft burgundy undertones. Gorgeous Brazilian Cherry adds flair without overwhelming your space.

Black Walnut

Few wood species have the deep, dark character and warmth of Black Walnut. Grown in the central and eastern USA, its rich chocolate tones and straight, open grain bring timeless elegance to your design scheme.

Santos Mahogany

This stunning exotic species is found in southern Mexico, Central America, and as far away as Argentina. Incredibly hard and dense, the Santos Mahogany‘s dark brown hue with lustrous red undertones and streaked grain add sophisticated elegance to any décor. Our sources harvest this wood responsibly.

At Hardwood Flooring Store you will find most of our exotic looking hardwood floors in our International Series which features our exclusive Pure Genius^® air-purifying technology.

The Future of Hardwood Flooring

The future of hardwood flooring is sustainable. In this way the industry has been leading in this domain for a long time now. Long gone are the days where companies and consumers were willing to put up with illegal and non-sustainable practices. If companies want to stick around, then they have to show that they are practicing and not just preaching the sale of environmentally safe and sustainable products if they want to continue as a successful flooring business for decades to come.

The flooring industry relies on a natural resource that is renewable but that unfortunately to renew needs somewhere in the ballpark of about 75 to 100 years to grow to maturity. In order to maintain the public appetite for hardwood and ensure there is enough supply to meet the need, companies in not just the flooring industry but others like furniture and paper realized that the old business model would not work.

Change is hard however. Some companies saw that in order to ensure their business would be sustainable for years to come on a global scale they would need to change the way they operated. This meant more time and money to be spent on infrastructure, shipping, etc. — something companies in search of profits for their shareholders did not want to take part in. In North America, companies were given little choice to change their business practices as governments put in place measures to ensure the protection and sustainability of their forests. These protections meant companies had less access to lumber and therefore rising costs for consumers.

In order to get around this some companies turned to the global forest and lumber industries where laws were less strict or not enforced at all. Countries like China and Russia opened their boarders to lumber producers and sold them all kinds of wood products at rock bottom prices. This meant North American markets became flooded with cheap goods from China and Russia. While that was great for consumer’s pockets, the quality and safety of those products was extremely poor.

When purchasing hardwood flooring products sourced in Canada customers are guaranteed that companies have met National Standards when it comes to quality and safety of their products. With the products sourced from China and Russia, the quality of the product was less and, in many cases, put the health of the end customer in real serious danger.

In order to make a cheaper and more affordable product and to increase their profits, these companies were caught using toxic formaldehyde at levels that were way above Canadian and American standards.

Those companies, while they increased their profits short term were eventually called out for their practices and have since lost market share to the companies that have been building sustainable fair-trade businesses that provide high quality product to their customers.

More and more companies are jumping on this responsible corporation bandwagon. Recently the top CEO’s from companies like Apple, Google, JP Morgan Chase and others have said the future of business is to ensure they are meeting the needs of their employees, listening to the needs of their customers and ensuring they are practicing a sustainable business for future generations. This is an incredible shift in thinking from the worlds most powerful CEOs and should not be taken lightly. No longer is the all mighty power of the shareholder the sole reason to exist for a corporation.

Hardwood flooring is a purchase that should not be done lightly. Finding the cheapest flooring might save you money upfront but those floors will not last long and end up costing you more in terms of replacement and potential health risks as well.
