Hardwood Floor Installation

We Are Certified Installation Specialists!

Did you know…most hardwood floor failures are caused by:

Poor site preparation.
Inadequate subfloor levelling.
Lack of installer experience.

This is why our installation process emphasizes a top-quality site preparation, and we use only highly trained installers. Our hardwood flooring installation professionals are not subcontractors. They are all BC hardwood employees who are fully trained with our industry leading training program in all types of applications and finishes. The skill and know-how of our installers ensures a quality installation and custom finish that’ll last a lifetime. It also guarantees that your floor will be completed on schedule, with the attention to detail you expect.

Multi-Unit Installation

BC Hardwood Floor Co. Ltd. has spent over one hundred years supplying and installing hardwood floors. As the city changes, we’ve changed too. We now supply and install a variety of hardwood flooring in new high-end developments. We have developed techniques and sought out products that are specifically suited to high-rise and multi-unit construction.

Radiant Heated Floors

Solid wood flooring can be installed over Radiant Heat, provided the recommended flooring materials are used, and the installer is experienced in this type of installation.
Site preparation is as follows:

The slab, subfloor and sleepers must be tested for moisture and confirmed dry.
The radiant heat system should be running at 20 degrees celsius for two weeks prior to delivery of wood flooring to site and should remain on throughout the installation process.
Thermostat controls must be fully operational to avoid overheating the floor.
If the heat has to be turned off always do so gradually 5 degrees celsius at a time. This will avoid unnecessarily shocking the floor with sudden heat loss or gain.
Covering to protect the floor after installation should be done with builders paper.

Sanding & Finishing

A professional refinishing may be in order two to three times during the life of your floor. Resurfacing with a strong and durable floor finish will restore the floor’s original beauty, and help to protect it.

It is absolutely crucial, for the longevity of your hardwood floor, that only trained professionals refinish your hardwood floor. The wood of your floor may seem quite thick, but depending on how many times the floor has been sanded, there may be only a few millimeters of wood separating the surface from the tops of the installation nails. At BC Hardwood, our installers are trained to gently refinish your floor without detracting from its life.

We put the same care and attention into refinishing floors as we do installing them.
