Wood flooring comes unfinished, and once installed is sanded, and then finished on site. More modernly, the product is pre-finished in a factory. The products that are pre-finished are often a polyurethane finish that has added aluminum oxide; however some companies use titanium dioxide or other oxides instead. These metal oxide finishes are used in various types of floor coverings and increase the wear a hardwood floor can handle.Our goal is to satisfy our customers by producing premium quality prefinished hardwood floors that are truly second to none. Everyday we focus on two things. The first is R&D because we believe that we must constantly innovate and evolve. The second is to produce a wide selection of floors to satisfy all needs aesthetic and environmental. Born from our commitment to R&D we have developed the most complete assortment of cutting edge visuals available to today's hardwood flooring buyer. All our products are protected by our Wear Guard Nanotech Finish which delivers a crystal clear, ultra scratch resistant, non-yellowing coating that carries a warranty against wear through for 35 years of residential use, or 5 years of commercial use. If the environment and "building green" is your priority, you will want to look at our Silhouette Certified - Eucalyptus Grandis FSC Certified Hardwood Flooring. Take some time to examine our exclusive Fx Series which delivers unbelievably real visual reproductions of two of Mother Nature's most rare natural wood effects. Perhaps your style leans more toward the antique or traditional oil-look, if so examine our Nostalgic Series, but don't worry about maintenance hassles because the Nostalgic Series just looks oiled. In Fact it is protected by a formulation of our Nanotech finish that is maintained in the same easy fashion as the rest of our floors. This lineup of floors has been assembled to meet a wide range of consumer taste. What each series has in common is they are all produced from domestic northern hardwoods, and are all precision-milled to our exacting standards. Our northern species (Red Oak, Maple, Birch, Ash, and Walnut) have a tighter grain pattern because of their shorter growing season, and are generally more uniform in colour, more stable, and less susceptible to warping and twisting then if they were grown in Appalachia and down through the southern U.S. Avant Guard Flooring is proud to present this most ecologically responsible line of solid hardwood floors. Our SILHOUETTE CERTIFIED - Eucalyptus Grandis FSC Certified Hardwood Flooring offers consumers both stunning beauty, and a 100% assurance that all of their environmental concerns are being addressed through inspection by an independent GREEN third party. Nothing about how green we are is self-proclaimed…



Eucalyptus Grandis is a specific type or species of Eucalyptus with very stable properties. It is highly suited for the production of hardwood flooring. Its hardness falls between that of Yellow Birch and Black Walnut, and its rich grain accepts stain in a uniform fashion. All of our Eucalyptus Grandis is plantation grown in Argentina, with final processing to flooring in Canada. For further detail on forest certification and the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) please review Avant Guard And The Environment.
