Flooring Design Specs
Widths are measured by the rough material from which they were cut, not the finished face size. For example, a 3" material will have a 2 1/8" face. The remainder allows for cutting the tongue and removing as many defects as possible.
Flooring is typically finished at 3/4" thick, and the underside is relieved to reduce cupping and checking. Thicker sizes are available.
The ends of the material are not end-matched. Meaning, they will need to be trimmed and then butted end to end. This is not a problem, because there will be no end movement once the flooring is stapled down and sanded.
Tips when Ordering Wood Flooring
- Allow 5-10% waste for a select grade and 10-15% for cottage grade.
- Shorter lengths or narrower widths will save you money on per-square-foot costs, but will increase the installation time.
- Ask about our delivery services.
- Allow 7-10 days lead time for production
- Stack the flooring in the room that it is to be laid 10-14 days before installing to climatize the wood to it's new environment.
- Vertical Grain flooring will stand up to wear and abuse longer than Flat Grain
