Welcome to the world of engineered hardwood floors, where nature's creativity takes center stage. At Floor Country Canada, we're passionate about hardwood installation, and we're excited to share the fascinating story of why no two planks are alike. Each plank is unique and carries its own unique history, shaped by the tree it grew from, the forests and the land it came from, and the natural forces that influenced it over time. Join us on an incredible journey through the artistry of engineered hardwood floors as we explore the beauty and complexity of each individual plank. We'll discover why every plank is one-of-a-kind and how it adds character and style to any home.
Nature's Fingerprints in Every Plank
Engineered hardwood is an amazing testament to the diversity found in nature. Each plank of engineered hardwood is like a work of art in its own right, showing off the intricate patterning of the tree it originated from. Unlike synthetic flooring materials that attempt to create an even, uniform look, engineered hardwood celebrates the individuality of each plank. The grain patterns, colors, and mineral streaks found in the wood are all unique, providing insight into the age, season, and growth conditions of the tree.
The Evolution of Color and Texture
Engineered hardwood floors are a great choice for any home as they are designed to have superior durability and stability. Upon installation, the floors will begin to change over time due to the natural oxidation process. Depending on the species of wood, these changes can be dramatic or more subtle. Lighter stains will give a greater range of color variation, allowing for the wood's natural beauty to be brought to the forefront. Darker stains, while they may appear more consistent, will still have their own unique characteristics.
Variations Within a Single Carton
Engineered hardwood flooring provides an authentic hardwood look, feel, and durability that adds character and charm to any room. As you open a box of engineered hardwood, you'll notice that no two planks are alike — each plank has its own unique color, texture, and grain pattern, creating a truly unique and one-of-a-kind space. This natural variation adds depth and a unique charm to your floor that can’t be replicated with any other type of flooring. Homeowners and flooring contractors should keep this in mind when deciding on the right flooring for their space.
The Showroom Sample Dilemma
When selecting hardwood flooring, many customers base their decision on a showroom sample. However, it is important to understand that the plank used for the sample may not depict the full range of variation in the product. The sample may not be able to capture the true beauty of the entire collection, so it is important to embrace the uniqueness of the hardwood floor. No two hardwood floors are the same, and customers should recognize that the small sample they see in the showroom does not capture the full beauty and variation of their hardwood floor.
