Fuzion Flooring Monarch Woods Engineered Hardwood

Ask any installer what separates good engineered hardwood from the rest and they will point at the wear layer, not the price tag.

In simple terms: Fuzion Flooring Monarch Woods is real oak over a multi-ply core. The surface is the same wood you would get in a solid floor; the core is what keeps it flat over a slab, in a basement, or through the seasons. We stock it and our crew installs it.

Decision line: Monarch Woods is the practical middle ground, real wood with the stability to go over concrete, into basements, and across the seasons.

The detail behind that: It is real oak, a warm, familiar grain that takes stain well and suits almost any room. The wear layer is 2mm of real wood, enough for one careful refinish down the road. Underneath the wood is a cross-layered engineered core, and that is the whole point: it keeps the floor flat where a solid board would react to the seasons. That is why it can go on, above, or below grade, including basements and concrete slabs, and over in-floor radiant heat, places solid hardwood cannot. Planks run 7 1/2 inches wide, a wide-plank look that shows off the grain. A low-sheen finish keeps dust and footprints from showing. Micro-bevelled edges give each plank a defined line and absorb the seasonal movement of a wood floor. It carries a 35-year residential and lifetime structural warranty.

We install Fuzion Flooring Monarch Woods 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.

We keep Monarch Woods at both showrooms, where the grain, sheen, and colour read properly. It is radiant-rated, so it pairs with the in-floor heating membranes we stock for in-floor heating projects.
