Engineered Hardwood
Grandeur’s engineered hardwood is a type of flooring that combines the natural beauty of hardwood with enhanced durability and stability. It is made by layering multiple thin plies of wood together, with each layer placed in a cross-grain orientation. The top layer, known as the wear layer or veneer, is made of genuine hardwood and provides the desired aesthetic appearance.
The core layers of engineered hardwood are typically made from high-density fiberboard (HDF) or plywood. These layers are bonded together using heat and pressure, creating a strong and dimensionally stable composite material. The cross-grain construction of the layers helps to counteract the natural tendency of wood to expand and contract with changes in temperature and humidity, resulting in a more stable flooring option compared to solid hardwood. This flooring type is excellent for Winnipeg residents since Canada has a wide range of climatic changes year-round.
One of the key advantages of engineered hardwood is its versatility. It can be installed in various settings, including below grade, over concrete slabs, or in areas with fluctuating moisture levels where solid hardwood may not be suitable. Engineered hardwood is also available in a wide range of wood species, finishes, and sizes, allowing for greater design flexibility.
Solid Hardwood
Grandeur's solid hardwood flooring is elegant, providing a clean, sophisticated aesthetic touch that effortlessly enhances any space. Furthermore, the ease of cleaning ensures that maintaining the pristine beauty of the hardwood floors is a simple task.
Solid hardwood is typically milled from a single piece of timber and comes in various species. Each has its own unique grain patterns, color variations, and natural characteristics, giving homeowners a wide range of options to choose from based on their preferences and design aesthetics.
It is known for its long-term durability and stability. When properly installed and maintained, it can last for decades. However, it is important to note that solid hardwood is susceptible to changes in humidity and moisture levels. It is generally not recommended for areas with high moisture, such as basements or bathrooms, as excessive moisture can cause the wood to expand, contract, or warp.
Despite the potential challenges of temperature and humidity, solid hardwood can still be a viable option in Winnipeg. It adds warmth and natural beauty to homes and is a long-lasting flooring choice. However, it is essential to monitor and control indoor humidity levels to prevent potential issues like shrinking or expanding of the wood. Proper installation and maintenance can ensure solid hardwood flooring performs well in Winnipeg's climate.
Vinyl
Grandeur Flooring presents an exquisite range of vinyl flooring collections that exemplify exceptional quality and style. The collection encompasses a variety of premium vinyl flooring options, including the luxurious Luxury SPC Vinyl Planks, the versatile SPC Vinyl Tile, and the elegant SPC Vinyl Planks.
Vinyl flooring is a versatile and popular flooring option that offers durability, affordability, and a wide range of design possibilities. It is made from synthetic materials, primarily PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and other additives, resulting in a resilient and flexible flooring solution.
One of the main advantages of vinyl flooring is its exceptional durability. It is highly resistant to fading, stains, scratches, and dents, making it an excellent choice for high-traffic areas and households with children or pets. Vinyl flooring is also known for its water resistance, making it suitable for moisture-prone areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and basements. It is the perfect flooring option for Winnipeg residents since the climate can be quite harsh and prone to wetness and temperature fluctuations.
Installation of vinyl flooring is relatively straightforward. Sheet vinyl is typically glued down to the subfloor, while luxury vinyl planks or tiles can be installed as a floating floor, where they interlock or adhere to each other without the need for adhesive. This installation flexibility makes vinyl flooring a popular choice for do-it-yourself projects.
Vinyl flooring is known for its low maintenance requirements. Regular sweeping or vacuuming and occasional damp mopping using a manufacturer-recommended cleaner is usually sufficient to keep the floor clean and in good condition.
In addition to its durability and functionality, vinyl flooring offers a vast array of design options. It comes in a wide range of colors, patterns, and textures, offering versatility to complement any interior design scheme.
