Course Description

Understanding Wood Flooring Trends & Their Impact on Specification

Wood flooring trends affect much more than the appearance of a finished space. Changes in plank dimensions, construction, species, character, finish and manufacturing can also influence product availability, installation and long-term performance.

This course assists architects, construction professionals and interior designers in understanding wood flooring trends and how these trends impact the specification process of real wood flooring for client projects.

Participants will examine the movement toward engineered flooring, wide plank formats, factory finishing, character-rich grades, parquet patterns, natural finishes and other trends shaping contemporary wood flooring design.

Learning Objectives
