Fuzion Flooring Prairie Storm Engineered Hardwood

Most people choose engineered hardwood for the look and keep it for the stability, the part you only appreciate after a few Ontario winters.

In simple terms: Fuzion Flooring Prairie Storm is engineered hardwood, which means a real 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.

Here is what matters on this one. It is real oak, a warm, familiar grain that takes stain well and suits almost any room. It carries a 3mm dry-sawn wear layer, real sawn wood you can refinish like solid hardwood at least once over its life. The core is the quiet workhorse here. A 3-layer solid core resists the expansion and contraction that makes solid wood cup, gap, or lift. That is why it may be suitable for on-grade or above-grade use, and some collections for below-grade use when approved, including basements and concrete slabs, and over in-floor radiant heat, places solid hardwood cannot. Planks run 6 inches wide, a wide-plank look that shows off the grain. A low-sheen finish keeps dust and footprints from showing. The planks have micro-bevelled edges, which frame each board and hide the slight height differences that come with real wood. It carries a 35-year residential and lifetime structural warranty.

Decision line: Prairie Storm is the pick when you want real, refinishable wood that can still handle a slab, a basement, or radiant heat.

Our installers handle Fuzion Flooring Prairie Storm from subfloor moisture testing to the final trim, across the GTA, Barrie, and Simcoe County, with no subcontractors. Over concrete we typically glue down, over plywood we nail or float, and the prep is where the job is won. See the hardwood installation page.

It is worth seeing Prairie Storm in person before deciding. Visit either store, contact us to confirm current stock, and see more in the engineered hardwood range. It is radiant-rated, so it pairs with the in-floor heating membranes we stock for in-floor heating projects. For the full Fuzion Flooring range, see our Fuzion Flooring page.
