Build
Choosing the structure of hardwood is based on sub-floor, heating system and area of installation. Wide Plank Hardwood produces high quality Solid and Engineered products to provide flooring that will perform effectively in a wide range of living environments.
Our Engineered floors are manufactured with a 4mm wear layer and just under 3/4 of an inch overall thickness. Ideal for installation over concrete, radiant in-floor heating or plywood subfloors.
Our Solid floors are precisely milled to 3/4 of an inch and suited for a plywood sub-floor, or above grade concrete, over insulated crawl spaces and areas with forced air heating.
Our flooring is produced in random lenghts with a high percentage of long planks.
In Engineered, boards can reach up to 10 feet, Solid boards can reach up to 12 feet.
Species
Wide Plank Hardwood sources high quality lumber primarily from North America, with the exception of a couple of exotic woods. Each species is unique, varying widely in what they offer visually and in functionality as the hardness, colour and grain pattern differs. Selecting the right species is based on personal preferences and on the type of performance you are hoping to see from the floor.
Grade
Grade determines the number of knots and the grain patterns that exist within a floor. A Character or Rustic grade will provide plenty of prominent knots, a Number 1 grade will have a few knots scattered across the occasional board, and a Select grade will have little to no knots. Moving into a premium cut, the Rift and Quartered will have straight grain lines and flecks across the boards, and a Rift Only will have straight grains without flecks to produce a very clean and continuous appearance.
Width
While we specialize in wide planks, our available widths begin at 3 inches, and reach up to 8 inches in Engineered, and sometimes as wide as 12 inches in Solid.
We provide options for fixed widths or for random width flooring to add variability.
For inquiries on specialized widths, please contact our sales staff.
Options
Options are an added step to the manufacturing process which add an extra element of character and texture to a floor. There are a number of different options as well as customized variability for the level to which they are applied, making Wide Plank Hardwood floors beautiful, unique and catered specifically to our clients wants and wishes.

Colour
Our unique colouring process allows all of our stains to be replicated, tweaked or altered to come up with a colour that is perfect for you. Stain will take differently to certain species and grades of wood, as well to each board individually, as no two boards are exactly the same, which further increases the uniqueness of each floor. The base of our stains is made from all natural oils which are environmentally friendly and do not produce off gassing.
Finish
Oil
An Oil finish is a healthy flooring finish, made from natural plant based ingredients and air dried at our factory. The oil provides a deep impregnation into the wood to keep the natural silky feel and texture of the hardwood. As the floor ages, applying a refreshed coat will keep the floor looking fresh and healthy over the years.
Water-Based Polyurethane
Our Water-Based Polyurethane finish requires little to no maintenance. Simply dust, vacuum and damp mop. Available in several sheen levels, it creates a strong, healthy protective finish.
