Our Custom Flooring
Design the Perfect Hardwood Floor for Your Home
​
The first step is to stop in or call Launstein Floors. Even if you live out of state or in another country we can help craft the floor you want and ship it to you!
Next tell us what function the floor will serve. It seems like a silly question for us to ask but think about it. Is this floor going to be in a high traffic area? Do you want to install radiant heat under your new floor? What type of climate do you live in? There is a lot to think about, which is why we will walk you through all of the best solutions to ensure this new floor is exactly what you want and that it has all of the characteristics needed to guarantee a long life in your home.
Choose Which Species of Hardwood You Want for Your New Floor
​
After we have discussed the type of floor you need, the next step is to choose the species of wood you want your new floor to be made from. Here at Launstein Floors, we have a wide variety of hardwoods available to choose from:
​
-
Cherry
-
Red Oak
-
Hickory
-
Maple
-
White Oak
-
Walnut
-
Ash
Choose the Cut You want for Your Custom Floor
​
Quarter-sawn - This cut has a less distinct grain pattern but is arguably the strongest cut for floors. It resists cupping and ages evenly.
Plain-sawn - Has a very distinct grain pattern that resembles a cathedral. This is the most popular cut mills use.
​
Live-sawn - This is the easiest and oldest method for milling lumber. The cuts are straight across the log and parallel to the previous cut. This method produces the look of both quarter-sawn and plain-sawn, giving each board a distinctive look and feel.
Now Choose the Dimensions of Your Planks
​
Launstein Floors offers 3/8" to 3/4" thick options, and planks up to 8" wide. Its up to you how we mill your floor. Do you want the classic wide plank flooring Look, or maybe something a little more contemporary?
​
​
Engineered or Solid Planks?
​
Both have their advantages. Engineered hardwood floors are great for durability, and are more resistant to moisture. Solid hardwood floors are 100% natural and give you the ability to sand and refinish multiple times. Both choices at Launstein Floors work well over radiant heat if maintained properly.
