A Word From Our Founder
"We are the pioneers of hardwood floors tested over radiant heat and continue to test our floors over new systems as they arise. All of our flooring products can be used over radiant heat if simple guidelines are met.
Recently we have added a burnished oil finish option in a wide range of colors. This can include several different surface textures to achieve an “Old World” appearance including hand scrape, distress, wire brush and saw mark.
We are proud of the products we produce here at our plant in Mason, Michigan. Also, we are aware of the need to conserve our natural resources. Our lumber is purchased from mills practicing sustained yield forestry."

Great for Radiant Heat
​
The rich beauty of hardwood and the comfort of wood flooring over radiant heat is an unsurpassed luxury that your home deserves. All of our floors here at Launstein Hardwoods are crafted for use over radiant heat, and our products are tested more than any other radiant floor company. Since 2003 we have implemented a rigorous testing program for all of the flooring options we offer.
​
Through our testing and certification process we have perfected the science of radiant heat with hardwood floors. From the optimal moisture level needed to protect your flooring, to the exact installation standards to ensure the beauty of your Hardwood floor and the integrity of your heating system for years to come.
Non-Toxic Hardwood Floors
​
With the improvements in technology and science over the years, we have come to find that some of the old ways of building houses and buildings were not the healthiest, one example being asbestos.
For a long time the building industry used formaldehyde as an adhesive for composite wood products, such as engineered flooring or particle board. As it turns out, formaldehyde is a carcinogen, which is why we do not use it in any of out flooring products. This issue has garnered a lot of attention, and back in 2007 California past the CARB2 complaint law, which drastically reduced the amount of acceptable levels of formaldehyde in composite wood products.
Our products are also Low VOC, which means Low Volatile Organic Compound. VOC's have been used as sealants and thinners and solvents for years, especially when working with resins. Not all VOC's are unhealthy, but we have dedicated ourselves to limiting our use of them because not only do we want to ensure that your floors are beautiful, we also want them to be healthy for you, your co-workers and your family!
