Discover the perfect hardwood flooring for your home

There’s something special about hardwood flooring. It adds warmth, elegance, and value to any home. Whether you want a rustic lodge feel or a sleek, modern aesthetic, hardwood flooring sets the tone for your entire space. But with so many options—solid and engineered, different wood species, various finishes—choosing the right one can feel overwhelming. That’s where we come in. At Shaw Carpet & Floor Centre, we make it easy to find the perfect hardwood floors for your home. From selection to installation, we’ve got you covered.

Solid vs. engineered hardwood: which one is right for you?

Hardwood flooring isn’t one-size-fits-all. The first decision you’ll need to make is whether you want solid or engineered wood flooring.

 

  • Solid hardwood is made from a single piece of wood. It’s classic, durable, and can be refinished multiple times. However, it’s more susceptible to moisture changes, making it better suited for above-grade levels.
  • Engineered hardwood has a real wood surface but a layered core, making it more stable and resistant to humidity. Engineered wood flooring is better for basements, condos, and areas where moisture levels fluctuate.

 

If you’re unsure which type is best for your home, our in-house design consultants can guide you through the decision process.

Choosing the perfect wood floors: species, width, and finish

Once you’ve decided on solid or engineered hardwood flooring, it’s time to choose the details that define your flooring’s character.

 

  • Wood species: Oak, maple, hickory, walnut—each species has its own look and durability. Oak is a timeless favorite, while hickory’s unique grain adds a rustic charm.
  • Plank width: Wide planks offer a contemporary, spacious feel, while narrow planks create a more traditional look.
  • Finish: Glossy, matte, wire-brushed, hand-scraped—your finish impacts the overall aesthetic and maintenance level.

 

We carry a wide selection of wood floors to match any design vision. Visit our hardwood flooring store to see samples and feel the textures in person.

The many benefits of hardwood floors

Hardwood flooring isn’t just about looks—it’s an investment that brings long-term value. Here’s why homeowners love it:

 

  • Classic appeal: Hardwood floors never go out of style. They work with any décor, from rustic to contemporary.
  • Durability: With proper care, hardwood flooring lasts for decades. Solid hardwood can be refinished several times, extending its lifespan.
  • Easy maintenance: Unlike carpets that trap dust and allergens, hardwood flooring is simple to clean with regular sweeping and occasional mopping.
  • Boosts home value: Homes with wood floors tend to sell faster and at higher prices. Buyers recognize the value of real wood.
