Canadian Standard Novella Hardwood Flooring

Canadian Standard Novella Hardwood Flooring
Canadian Standard Novella is hardwood flooring, in a hand scraped finish. Every piece in the line is 3/4" thick, so nothing sits proud of its neighbour. Real wood, so it can be refinished rather than replaced when it wears. Do not put solid wood below grade. A basement needs an engineered board.

Why Novella Stands Out

Hardwood is the only floor that gets better looking as the rest of the house ages around it.

In simple terms: Canadian Standard Novella is real plank over an engineered core, the construction that stays flat over concrete, in basements and through Ontario's seasons. We stock it and install it with our own crews.

The boards run 3/4" and 19.05 thick, in 6-1/2" x Random Length, with a 1.2mm wear veneer, finished hand scraped. Colourways include Dickens, Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Orwell and Steinbeck. Warranty coverage is 25 Year Residential.

Decision line: choose Novella where you want real wood that can go over concrete and below grade; thicker veneers can be refinished later, which we do on site.

Hardwood rewards proper acclimatization and subfloor prep, which our employed crews handle as part of every quote; see the hardwood installation page. Run a hand over Novella at our Mississauga or Barrie store before you decide.

Quick answers about this collection before you buy.

What is Canadian Standard Novella?
Canadian Standard Novella is hardwood flooring, in a hand scraped finish. Every piece in the line is 3/4" thick, so nothing sits proud of its neighbour. Real wood, so it can be refinished rather than replaced when it wears. Do not put solid wood below grade. A basement needs an engineered board.
Can Novella go in a basement or over concrete?
Engineered construction is the reason this is possible: the layered core stays stable where solid wood would move. Confirm the specific line's grade rating on the collection page, and our crews handle the moisture testing and preparation as part of the install.
Can Novella be refinished?
That depends on the wear layer thickness of the board you choose. Thicker veneers can be professionally sanded and refinished; thinner ones are refreshed rather than fully sanded. We do on-site refinishing with our own crews, so ask about the specific board.
Where can I see Novella near me?
You can see it at both Squarefoot Flooring stores, in Mississauga at 700 Dundas St E, Unit 3-4, and in Barrie at 112 Saunders Rd, Units 1-4. A full sample under room light reads very differently from a photo, so come compare it in person before deciding.
