Impressive Floors Contempa 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: Impressive Floors Contempa is real white 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.

The wood and the build: It is real white oak, a cooler, more contemporary cast with a tighter grain than red oak, and a touch harder. White Oak sits around 1360 on the Janka hardness scale, right at the oak benchmark for everyday durability. Stability comes from the build: a cross-layered engineered core that takes the seasonal swing in stride instead of telegraphing it into the floor. It carries a 30-year residential Finish, 5-year Light commercial, Lifetime Structure warranty.

We install Impressive Floors Contempa 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.

Decision line: choose Contempa when you want genuine hardwood that will stay flat over a slab or in a basement.

Wood reads differently across a full floor than in a sample chip, so it is worth seeing Contempa under room light at either store. Contact us to check availability, or browse the full hardwood flooring range.
