Before you choose your wood floor, here are some points to consider.

Solid Wood
The most common wood flooring consists of solid, one-piece boards, and is available in three basic types: strip flooring which comes in varying widths and is typically nailed to the subfloor; wider width plank flooring boards, which are either screwed or nailed to the subfloor; and parquet flooring which comes in standard 6"x6" squares. Solid wood flooring is not recommended for on grade (slab) installations in Florida.

Engineered Wood
This flooring consists of two to ten layers of wood laminated together. The top wear layer is usually a hardwood veneer of varying thickness, with the lower layer being a softwood backing. Rather than being nailed, most engineered wood floors are glued down. Some are installed as "floating floors," meaning the edges of the panels are glued together but not attached directly to the subfloor. It also can be glued directly to a concrete slab.

Finishes
If you have an off grade home, unfinished floors give you many choices for colorations and durability. Most solid flooring is unfinished while most engineered flooring is prefinished. Hardwood floors are available as either factory-finished or unfinished. Floors with a factory pre-finish tend to be more consistent due to strict application codes and in some cases more durable.

Dependable and long-lasting, hardwood lasts longer than other flooring options and solid hardwood can be refinished several times or even re-stained to change its appearance. Today's polyurethane finishes allow installation in kitchens and half baths, as long as you take precautions to minimize water spills. Engineered woods are considered more stable for kitchen and bath applications.

We install, sand, and finish hardwood floors. We can create custom patterns, borders, and designs of all kinds. In every Calvins Carpet One store you'll find true flooring professionals dedicated to the highest standards of quality, both in the merchandise we carry and in the way we do business.

Many of Anderson's flooring collections are hand-scraped, which raises the grain to provide more of an antique look.

Limited Wear Warranty

Your Carpet One retailer warrants that from the date of installation when used under normal residential traffic conditions and with proper care and maintenance, the finish of your wood floor will not wear-through* for the period specified for each of the respective warranty levels below:

Bronze series  10 Years
Silver series 15 Years
Gold series 20 Years
Platinum series 25 Years
Titanium series 30 Years

*Wear-through is defined as loss of the floor design due to normal household use.  Gloss reduction is not considered surface wear.

This limited warranty excludes indentations, scratches or damage caused by lack of proper maintenance, misuse, abrasives, insufficient protection on furniture, wet mopping, scratches or indentations caused by spike-heel shoes and pet nails, and any casualty event.

Care and Cleaning

Like any floor covering, real wood floors will show signs of wear over time, depending on the size and lifestyle or your family. But by observing a few precautions, and using the cleaning and maintenance program recommended by the manufacturer, you can expect years of beauty from your wood floor.

Never clean or wet mop your hardwood floor with water. Do not use any wax or cleaner that must be mixed with water such as oil soap or paste wax products or other household cleaner that contains lemon oil, tung oil or ammonia, as this may damage your floor and result in a loss of warranty. Water can dull the finish and permanently damage the floor.

To help eliminate fine particles of dirt and grit that act like sandpaper and will scratch any floor, vacuum or sweep daily. The vacuum head must be a felt or brush type. Be certain that the wheels of the vacuum are clean and do not damage the finish DO NOT USE A VACUUM WITH A BEATER BAR HEAD.

Remove spills promptly using a soft cloth and cleaning products recommended by the manufacturer. And be sure to keep pet's nails trimmed and paws clean and free of dirt, gravel, grease, oil and stains.

Place protective pads beneath furniture legs and feet to reduce scratches and dents. Use a dolly and protective sheets of plywood when moving heavy objects, furniture or appliances. Some objects may be too heavy to move across a hardwood floor under any circumstances.

Certain types of casters on furniture may damage hardwood flooring. Barrel-type wheels (a minimum 1" continuous width is recommended) or wide, flat glides are best for protecting your hardwood floor.

A humidifier is recommended to prevent excessive shrinkage of wood floors due to low humidity levels. Wood stoves and electric heat tend to cause very dry conditions. In damp conditions, proper humidity levels can be maintained with an air conditioner or dehumidifier, or by periodically turning on your heating system during periods of high humidity in the summer months.

Use quality area rugs inside entryways to prevent dirt and moisture from being tracked onto your hardwood floor. To prevent slippage, only use a quality vinyl rug pad from your retailer. Don't use rubber, foam back or plastic pads as they may discolor the floor.
Exposure to the sun and its UV rays accelerates the oxidation and aging of wood and fabrics. This causes the stain and/or wood to fade and/or change color. It is recommended that you rearrange rugs and furniture periodically so the floor ages evenly.

Remove shoes with spiked or damaged heels before walking on the floor. Spike or stiletto high-heel shoes may cause denting and related damage to hardwood floors due to the extremely high compressive force they generate. Such footwear can produce dynamic loads in excess of 1000 pounds per square inch, even when worn by someone of slight or average build.

As added protection, use dirt-trapping walk-off mats at all exterior doors to keep sand, dirt, grit, grease and oil outside.

Note: Do not turn your air conditioning system off for vacations or time away from home. Wood is intended to be in a climate-controlled area only. Failure to do this will void your warranty.
