How to Buy the Best Quality Discount Hardwood Flooring in Toronto

There are many types of hardwood flooring available, so you’ll want to learn how to size them up in order to make the best choice to fit your home and budget. This is especially true of discount hardwood flooring, nit to say that because something is in sale it is inferior. On the contrary, many hardwood flooring liquidators in Toronto sell top quality product at discounted prices. Usually the reason for the discount is that the line is no longer manufactured, and the wholesaler wants to sell off what he has left. Sometimes you can find enough quality discounted planking to finish your entire project.

There are two types of hardwood flooring you can find at discounted prices – solid planking, and engineered hardwood planking. The solid planking comes in both 3’4" and 5’162 thickness, and is an excellent choice if you’re looking to add a rich lustre to your room. The disadvantage of solid wood flooring is that it needs to be finished, which involves much sanding and finishing. The labor costs involved may well negate any savings you make by purchasing a discounted line. Solid planking is also more susceptible to warping and twisting, so should definitely not be laid in basements or dens.

Engineered hardwood flooring on the other hand, can save you money in labor. It comes prefinished from the factory, and is coated with a quality urethane that is dried under UV light. This provides the planking with a resilient and beautiful finish which generally lasts from ten to fifteen years. Maintenance costs are also low, as a simple mopping once a week is all that is required. Solid planking on the other hand will need to be stripped and refinished at least once in its lifetime, which can be quite an expensive undertaking.

If you get the chance, go to a hardwood flooring clearance sale in Toronto. You’ll be amazed at the wide variety of species styles and species that are available. It is important that you are able to examine the planking you are considering, as you need to check for defects such as raised grain, broken or splintered joints, and warping. Be sure to ask the salesperson about the stability of the species you are considering, as some species are more susceptible to warping than others.

Last but not least, remember that any flooring you install will need to be maintained. Grit left to sit on the surface of your planking will be ground underfoot and gradually wear off the finish, while wearing away any savings you make!
