County Floors

Few things can enhance the quality of your home or business like a hardwood floor. It adds warmth, luster, and charm to a space. And it's much more economical than you might think. Because of the superior insulating properties of wood, it can help keep a room warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, thereby saving on your energy bills! Plus, professionally installed wood flooring can dramatically increase the beauty - and value - of your home. The stock market may go up and down; but the money spent on installing and maintaining a wood floor in a house is an investment that can pay for itself many times over, both in the cash value it adds and in the pleasure it gives, year after year.

Proper installation of hardwood flooring is critical. All of our installers are professionals trained to recognize any problems that a job site might have. Before a floor is laid, the moisture content of the flooring is monitored to prevent excessive expansion or contraction. Much attention is paid to staggering joint placement and removing boards with bad knots, unattractive figuring, and odd colors, to ensure that you have a consistently beautiful floor. From a simple oak strip installation to a customized border design or inlaid medallion, our installers take great pride in creating a uniquely elegant and appealing floor that will last a lifetime.

A molding for hardwood flooring is a strip of material, traditionally made from solid milled wood with various profiles, used to cover transitions between surfaces, such as between different rooms of a house. A tread is the part of a stairway that is stepped on, often with a nosing that protrudes over the riser beneath. County Floors has matching accessories for all flooring types we have available. Most molding and tread products come in various lengths, either prefinished or unfinished. At County Floors, when it comes to wood flooring accessories, we have what others don't.

Decorative borders, medallions, and parquet from Oshkosh Designs can add a distinctive look to any hardwood floor. Beautiful medallions transform any hardwood floor into a dramatic design element. Whether at an entryway, in the center of a family room, or in front of a window, the possibilities are endless. With a continuous perimeter border or pattern running around the edges of a room, creating an "island" in the kitchen, or surrounding a dining room table, you'll be amazed at how interesting even the simplest room can become.
