Surprised? It's true! The cost of a solid hardwood floor on an annual basis will usually be far less than the cost of quality carpeting. Home owners usually replace wall-to-wall carpeting about every 11 years. Vinyl tile lasts only slightly longer than carpet. Solid hardwood flooring will last for the life of the building and can be refinished many times.


Natural...warm...comfortable... this is the feeling you want for your home. You get it with genuine hardwoods, along with the one-of-a-kind beauty you never get tired of. The warm character of hardwood flooring is handsome enough to let you bare your floors to the world with nothing more than a gleaming finish to preserve their beauty. The addition of area rugs brings another dimension of color and texture to your decor. Rich oriental or geometric designs - whatever your style - hardwood floors provide the perfect setting. Durable hardwood flooring is being used in the newest commercial and institutional buildings. Flooring is also now being used on walls and ceilings.


Eternal beauty.... The same enduring qualities which have made solid hardwoods a favorite for so long are projecting it into a bright future. Because hardwoods fit so well with the way we live, their popularity continues to grow even as architectural styles change. Solid hardwood flooring works with all types of construction. It can be installed on concrete slabs or on conventional wood joist construction.

Remodeling and renovating have brought about a new appreciation of solid hardwood floors. Machine sanding easily removes the old finish, and prepares the surface for a great new one. The newly finished floor will be a source of pride for decades to come.


Nature's insulator..... Hardwood flooring is made of microscopic hollow cells and these air spaces produce high insulation values. It would take 15 inches of concrete to equal the insulating qualities of just one inch of wood.


Color....light or dark. Your floor can reflect your style and personality! Color it contemporary with a natural finish. Color it in the rich, dark hue of floors from America's past. Hardwoods take beautifully to an endless variety of wood tones from light and natural, to very dark finishes, whatever complements your home furnishings. The degree of color is determined by the use of stains in the finishing process.


Less work for Mom! Solid hardwood floors are the easiest of all floor surfaces to keep clean and looking new to truly provide you the floor for a lifetime.
