Solid hardwood floors are made
of planks milled from a single
piece of timber.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS-
1. Solid wood flooring is milled
from a single piece of timber
that is kiln or air dried before
sawing.
2. The timber is cut to the desired
dimensions and either packed
unfinished for a site-finished
installation or finished at the
factory.
3. The moisture content at time of
manufacturing is carefully
controlled to ensure the
product does not warp during
transport and storage.

sanding is used to renew the appearance of
older floors. Sanding using successively finer
