Solid wood
Solid wood floors are made of 100% wood. They are a solid and durable floor covering. They can last for decades. Their style remains timeless, yet unique thanks to the natural knots in the wood.
Solid wood is suitable for the ground and upper floors of homes. It can occasionally be refinished rather than replaced. Installing solid wood is simple: you can use either the stapled or nailed method. However, this type of flooring is not compatible with underfloor heating.

Engineered wood
Engineered wood, a relatively new material in the flooring industry, consists of a layer of hardwood glued to a plywood base (it’s definitely part of the larger hardwood family!). Engineered wood has exceptional qualities that allow it to be installed in conditions where traditional solid wood can’t. Did you know that it’s possible to install engineered wood on a cement slab, such as in a basement or condo? Unlike solid wood flooring, engineered wood is a little more forgiving and can withstand varying humidity levels.
In addition to the unique finishes and colors available for this flooring, engineered wood can even be installed on wall surfaces. The great advantage of engineered wood is undoubtedly that it can be compatible with a heated floor system! This type of material needs less air to breathe than solid wood.
The finishes of our wood floors
All hardwood floors can be pre-finished or oiled.
Read our tips to help you decide between oiled and varnished hardwood floors!
Pre-varnished wood
Every year, we offer innovative trends for your wood flooring. Maintaining varnished wood is easier and much less frequent than oiled hardwood. Varnished hardwood is durable and highly resistant to wear, abrasion, and scratches. Wood varnish also provides anti-yellowing and antimicrobial properties to your floors.
The range of finishes for varnished floors ranges from ultra-matte to semi-gloss. Find the style, trend, and wood species that meets your needs.
Pre-oiled woods
For a more eco-friendly choice, opt for pre-oiled flooring! Wood oils, which are plant-based oils, are a greener option than varnish. Oil allows the wood to breathe. This has the advantage that oiled wood adapts better to the vagaries of its environment, extending its lifespan. The oiled finish also allows you to manage the floor’s appearance over time. Since it’s easy to apply new coats of oil over the years, you’re independent when it comes to maintenance and can restore your floor to its original appearance. This concept is unique to pre-oiled products!
Other advantages of pre-oiled flooring include its resistance to moisture and abrasion. Pre-oiled wood stands out for its matte sheen.
Maintaining pre-oiled wood is simple and accessible to everyone, although it’s more regular than varnished wood. This gives you more control over the appearance of your floor. Over the years, you can even restore your floor to its original condition with oil maintenance or change the color. In short, this flooring option gives you more autonomy.
