Why Proper Specifications Matter for Wood Flooring Projects
Your wood flooring specification defines the very nature of your project’s final outcome. Without precise details, you risk costly delays, substandard results, and mismatched expectations. With our expert guidance, you can ensure your specifications outline exact grades, finishes, and installation methods tailored for your unique design.
The Key Elements of a Wood Flooring Specification
- Wood Species and Grades
Your choice of wood species sets the tone for the entire space. Specify clear, concise details regarding the species (e.g., White Oak, Walnut) and grade (Select, Character) to ensure consistency. - Engineered vs. Solid Wood Flooring
Determine the best product based on project conditions, climate, and subflooring. Learn the differences and advantages of both types to craft the perfect fit. - Finishes & Coatings
Specify VOC-compliant, environmentally friendly finishes. Explore the aesthetic and protective benefits of natural oils, UV-cured finishes, or lacquers that align with your client’s needs and environmental goals. - Installation Methods
Clear guidance on installation techniques—whether it’s glue-down, nail-down, or floating installation—ensures lasting results. Ensure that your specifications account for acclimatization, moisture barriers, and proper adhesives.
The Sustainable Approach: Green-Friendly Flooring Specifications
At New York City Wood Floors, sustainability isn’t just a trend—it’s a necessity. We specialize in guiding architects toward specifying green-certified wood floors, finishes, and installation practices that meet stringent environmental criteria, including FSC-certified wood and LEED accreditation. Furthermore, our natural oils and low-VOC finishes provide long-term benefits for both the planet and the people who enjoy the space.

The Role of Moisture Control in Wood Flooring Specifications

We guide you through specifying appropriate underlayments and moisture barriers that protect your floors and significantly enhance their longevity.
