Simple, clean-looking, with just a bit of “warmth”: that was the objective for this 3,600-square-foot floor by Troy, Mich.-based Everlast Floors Inc.
To achieve it, the company turned to imported 8.25-inch-wide Nordic European white oak, creating a “Nordic elegance” for the contemporary home. The homeowner settled on a “mild gray” color for the floors, according to Everlast Sales Rep Logan Mathews.
The Everlast installation crew began by sanding the plywood seams and making sure the subfloor was level. They then began a nail-down installation with glue-assist for the prefinished floors.
“It is imperative to always glue and nail wide-plank floors,” Mathews said via email.
While new construction projects can pose headaches, the high-end installation was as smooth.
