Serving Brockville and Eastern Ontario for over 40 years, our family owned business brings decades of local expertise, industry accolades, and top tier craftsmanship to every project.
Selecting the Right Wood Species for Your Lifestyle
During your showroom consultation, our team evaluates your household’s foot traffic and daily routine to help you choose the right wood species:
- High Traffic Homes: Dense domestic hardwoods like hickory and maple offer superior dent resistance, making them our top recommendation for active households with children or pets.
- Classic Character: Red oak and white oak feature strong grain patterns that disguise daily wear while giving your home timeless visual appeal.
- Warm Interiors: Birch provides moderate durability with a smooth, warm grain suited for quieter spaces like guest bedrooms or formal sitting areas.
Finish Options to Suit Your Maintenance Style
At Custom Decor Floor and Home, we offer several stain and finish options depending on the look of your space and your day to day cleaning routine:
- Matte: Hides dust, pet hair, and minor scuffs. Our top choice for busy, low maintenance homes.
- Satin: Our most requested finish, offering a gentle luster that reflects natural light without highlighting footprints.
- Semi Gloss & Gloss: Delivers a bright, high shine surface for formal rooms, requiring frequent dusting to keep smudge free.

Expert Hardwood Flooring Installation
Our professional installers test subfloor moisture, verify levelness, and oversee the mandatory home acclimation process so your planks stabilize before fitting.
Depending on your subfloor and selected product, our team executes four primary installation methods:
Nail Down or Staple Down
Fastens solid hardwood flooring directly to plywood subfloors on or above ground level.
Glue Down
Bonds planks securely to concrete slabs or sound rated underlayment for a solid, quiet feel underfoot.
Floating
Locks engineered planks together without adhesive, making it the preferred approach for an engineered hardwood flooring installation over radiant heating systems.
Room Suitability and Moisture Performance
Solid hardwood flooring excels in living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, and upper hallways where temperature and moisture remain consistent.
For basements, kitchens, and entryway zones prone to humidity shifts or wet footwear, our team recommends engineered hardwood. Its cross ply base prevents cupping, gapping, and warping when environmental conditions change.
Care, Maintenance, and Humidity Management
We educate every homeowner on simple care practices to protect their investment for decades:
- Sweep or vacuum regularly using a soft brush attachment.
- Clean liquid spills immediately to protect plank seams.
- Apply heavy duty felt pads to furniture legs and place entrance mats at exterior doors.
- Maintain interior humidity between 35% and 55% year round to control natural wood expansion and contraction.
Aesthetics
Hardwood floors continue to be a favourite thanks to their adaptable style. Wide plank options typically 7 inches or more can make a space feel more open and expansive. With fewer seams and simpler installation, they offer both visual impact and practical appeal.
Installation
Depending on the subfloor and wood type, installation methods may include nailing, stapling, gluing, or floating where planks lock together without the use of adhesive.
Flooring Options
Hardwood floors are known for their long lasting durability, classic beauty, and strong resale value. Each plank features natural variations, giving your space a one of a kind look.
Sanding and Refinishing Capabilities
Your long term refinishing options depend on plank construction. Traditional solid hardwood can be sanded and refinished multiple times over decades of use, and engineered hardwood can also be refinished, provided the real wood top layer is thick enough.
Our design advisors will walk you through wear layer specifications, so you choose a product that fits your future refinishing goals.
