Hardwood Flooring Supply

How We Help You Choose the Right Hardwood Material
Selecting hardwood flooring is not just about looks. It requires a clear understanding of how the material will perform in your specific environment.
We guide you through the selection process by evaluating:
Lifestyle Needs: Homes with pets, children, or heavy foot traffic require more durable materials.
Design Preferences: We help match wood species, color, and finish with your interior style.
Budget Considerations: We recommend options that provide the best value without compromising quality.
Subfloor and Structure: Not all flooring types are compatible with every subfloor. We ensure proper alignment and installation.
Moisture Conditions: Calgary’s climate plays a major role in determining the right material for long term performance.
Types of Hardwood Flooring We Supply
Choosing the right hardwood flooring material is important because it affects how your floor looks, feels, and performs over time. We help you select the right option based on your home, lifestyle, and Calgary’s climate. Here are the main types we supply.
Solid Hardwood Flooring
Solid hardwood is made from a single piece of wood and offers a natural look. It is very durable and can be refinished multiple times over the years. However, it requires proper installation in Calgary due to seasonal expansion and contraction.
Engineered Hardwood Flooring
Engineered hardwood features a real wood top layer with a stable core underneath. It handles moisture and temperature changes better than solid wood, making it a great choice for Calgary homes. It works well in areas like basements and condos.
Pre Finished Hardwood Flooring
Pre finished hardwood comes ready with a factory applied finish, making installation quicker and cleaner. It offers consistent quality and strong surface protection. This is a great option if you want less disruption during the project.
Unfinished Hardwood Flooring
Unfinished hardwood is installed first and then sanded and finished on site. This allows you to fully customize the color and finish to match your space. It also provides a smooth, seamless look across the entire floor.
Reclaimed Hardwood Flooring
Reclaimed hardwood is made from reused wood, giving it a unique and aged appearance. Each plank has its own character, making it a great choice if you are looking for a more eco friendly option.
Wide Plank Hardwood Flooring
Wide plank flooring uses wider boards, which make rooms feel more open and clean. It highlights the natural grain of the wood and works well in modern homes. Proper installation is important to maintain long term stability.
Distressed and Textured Hardwood Flooring
This type of flooring includes hand scraped or wire brushed textures for a more natural, worn look. It helps hide scratches and daily wear, making it ideal for busy homes. It is a practical choice if you want both style and durability.
Hardwood Species Options Available Through Our Supply Service
The type of wood you choose has a major impact on both the look and durability of your flooring. Each species comes with its own grain pattern, strength, and overall feel. We help you choose an option that not only looks right but also performs well in your space and Calgary’s conditions.
Oak Hardwood Flooring
Oak is one of the most popular choices due to its strength and versatility. It has a noticeable grain pattern that adds character without being too bold. It works well in almost any type of home, whether modern or traditional. It is also a reliable option for long term durability.
Maple Hardwood Flooring
Maple has a smoother and more subtle grain with a lighter tone. It is slightly harder than oak, making it a durable choice for everyday use. This type of wood is often preferred in modern interiors because of its clean look. It is a great option if you want something simple yet refined.
Hickory Hardwood Flooring
Hickory is known for its strong, bold grain and natural color variation. It is one of the hardest domestic hardwoods, making it ideal for high traffic areas. This makes it a smart choice for families with pets or active households. It brings a more rustic and natural feel to the space.
Walnut Hardwood Flooring
Walnut is valued for its rich, dark tones and smooth, elegant appearance. It creates a high end and warm look compared to lighter woods. While it is softer than oak or hickory, it still performs well in lower traffic areas. It is perfect for spaces where style and aesthetics are the main focus.
Exotic Hardwood Options
Exotic hardwoods are chosen for their unique colors and distinct grain patterns. They can add a very different and eye catching look to your flooring. However, they vary in hardness and cost, so careful selection is important. We guide you in choosing options that balance appearance, durability, and practicality.
The finish and texture of your flooring influence both its appearance and maintenance.
Matte Finish: Offers a modern look and helps hide scratches well
Satin Finish: Provides a balanced sheen and is easy to maintain
Gloss Finish: Delivers a high shine and a more reflective surface
Texture options include:
Smooth surfaces for a clean look
Wire brushed finishes for added texture
Hand scraped styles for a rustic feel

Types of Hardwood Floor Finishes We Offer in Calgary
The finish of your hardwood floor plays a major role in both its appearance and maintenance. Choosing the right finish helps enhance the look of your space while ensuring long term performance.
Matte Finish for a Natural Look
Matte finish provides a soft, understated appearance that closely resembles unfinished wood. It is ideal for modern and minimal interiors. It also helps conceal small scratches and everyday wear.
Satin Finish for Balanced Performance
Satin finishes offer a mid range sheen with strong durability, making them one of the most commonly used options in homes. The finish is not overly glossy, which allows it to maintain a good balance between appearance and practicality. It is a great choice for areas that experience frequent foot traffic.
Gloss Finish for High Shine
Gloss finishes create a bright, reflective surface that enhances the visual appeal of hardwood floors. While they offer a striking look, they may require more maintenance to keep the surface clean and consistent.

TESTIMONIALS
I have been working with Dave from Arbutus Hardwood for many years now and can not say enough good things. I am a Contractor/ Red Seal Carpenter and have had a few Jobs that have had hurdles to overcome one such job had hardwood at 2 different heights and Dave was able to come up with a solution to blend the floors to create a seamless look! I have had jobs with boards that moved more than normal and again Dave was able to repair the floors to a sound state and look beautiful. In my humble opinion if you are looking for your floors to be refinished look no further as you are in the best hands possible.
Richard OuimetOur first exposure to Dave Cunnings' hardwood craft was in 1992, when we worked with him to install and finish approximately 2,500 sq ft of white oak flooring in a new country house. The material used was 2 1/4” x 3/4” solid white oak. The finish was a water based , low VOC , super durable urethane finish. The result was a very elegant , aesthetically pleasing , non-allergenic , and highly valuable flooring that would last for many decades, and as a solid wood through out, could be refinished up to 4x in the future.
John KersFor many years and projects Arbutus has worked with us to maintain our historic buildings. With great care and attention to detail Dave and his crew have worked within our unique environment. Making a large and lasting contribution to the guest experience, and the longevity of our artifacts. Always delivering on both customer service and excellent quality.
Mike WillieI consulted Dave at Arbutus to do a complete install of vinyl plank flooring in my basement and and a complete onsite install and finish of white oak hardwood on my main floor. A key for me was a short time frame to complete the work to make my move in date. Dave showed up and gave me professional advice as to what was involved in making the job happen in a tight time frame. He and his crew showed up on time did a fantastic job, gave great advice on materials stain color choices. He kept me updated on progress so I could coordinate my move in and worked with me to make sure that happened. In the end I was able to secure my move in seamlessly. Dave's quote was as we discussed with no hidden fees which was also important for me to stay on budget. I would highly recommend Arbutus Hardwood, and am very satisfied with the work Dave and his team provided.
Rodney BanksAs a home builder it is important for my business to keep our word to our clients. I was searching for a hardwood installer and decided to consult with Arbutus. I found the owner Dave to be very well experienced in the trade and very professional on how he conducts his business and manages his team. I was delighted to find his workmanship second to none and his on time delivery outstanding. This is so important when coordinating several trades, that work be conducted and finished on time. I look forward to working with Arbutus again in the future and highly recommend them for any install or refinishing work you may require.
