Board Width
Hardwood floors are manufactured in a variety of widths. Choose your floor to coordinate with your decor.

STRIP FLOORING
Pre-finished and unfinished strip flooring is available in both 1 1/4" and 2 1/4" widths. The most common strip is a 2 1/4" width. Strip is sold by the carton or bundle, with each shipping unit containing the same width. However, strip can be installed in random widths, which would require ordering multiple cartons or bundles, each of different widths.
PLANK FLOORING
The most common pre-finished and unfinished plank is a 3" width. However, planks are also available in individual cartons or bundles of 3 1/4", 4", 5", 6" and 7" widths. Plank flooring can be installed in random widths, with the most popular combination being 3", 5" and 7" widths. Installation of plank in random widths would require ordering multiple cartons or bundles, each of different widths.
CUSTOM FLOORING
Single slats or ?shorts? are strip flooring in customized lengths to create squares or patterns known as parquet flooring. You can design borders and/or medallions around your strip or plank floors, or chose from manufacturer created parquets and medallions in pre-finished and unfinished. Using any combination of species you desire can create some special designs.
