Lumber / Floors

Who among us has never gazed in wonder at the beauty of a hardwood floor? Hardwood floors represent a trend that literally transcends time - and not without reason. The natural materials, the aesthetic appeal, the easy upkeep, and the durability are all attractive qualities. And in addition to the cachet that hardwood flooring gives a home, they also create a healthy environment unlikely to cause dust allergies.

The desired effect or style is the first criterion in any floor project, and it is essential to be able to draw on a variety of species that are all very different in terms of their grain, colour, or vein. Maron lumber offers its clientele a wide variety of indigenous and exotic wood choices that are hand-picked and sure to please.

North-American wood species make exceptional floor coverings. For example, the natural lightness of White Oak, Maple, Yellow Birch, or Beech will brighten a kitchen where wood, brick, and modern furniture coexist in harmony. On the other hand, the light reddish brown of a Cherry floor will give a bedroom an intimate ambience that distinguishes it from the other rooms.

Exotic hardwood floors are sought after because of their warm hues and heightened durability. The popularity of Jatoba (Brazilian Cherry), Mahogany, and Sapele is hardly surprising when you consider all of the aesthetic possibilities offered by each of these species. The rich brown of Sapele adds comforting warmth to an ultramodern room, and Jatoba provides the perfect base for an antique décor.

Maron lumber knows that investing in a hardwood floor is always profitable. With a life expectancy that can span many decades, hardwood floors have the dual advantage of being able to blend with all decors and of increasing the resale value of a home.
