Appalachian Flooring Engineered Hardwood

Real wood on top, a stable core underneath: that combination is why engineered hardwood ends up in more Toronto condos and finished basements than solid ever could.

In simple terms: Appalachian Flooring is engineered hardwood, which means a real red oak surface over a cross-layered core. You get the look of solid wood with the stability to put it over concrete or in a basement. Squarefoot Flooring stocks it and installs it in-house.

The wood and the build: It comes in Red Oak and Hickory. The core is the quiet workhorse here. A multi-ply core resists the expansion and contraction that makes solid wood cup, gap, or lift. Widths run from 4 to 5 inches, so you can keep it classic or go wide-plank and modern. The surface is smooth, a clean and contemporary finish. It carries a 35-year warranty.

We install Appalachian Flooring with our own team, not subcontractors, across the GTA, Barrie, and Simcoe County. The method depends on the subfloor, glued to concrete, floated, or nailed to plywood, and a flat, dry base matters more than anything. Read how we work on the hardwood installation page, or see our projects.

Decision line: match species to traffic and check the wear layer, the thicker it is, the more times the floor can be refinished.

A small sample never shows how Appalachian moves across a whole room. See it at our Mississauga or Barrie store, contact us about availability, and compare materials on the hardwood vs vinyl guide. You can browse the complete Appalachian Flooring lineup on our Appalachian Flooring page.
