Melrose - The highest quality in prefinished hardwood floors today!



MELROSE™ Prefinished Hardwood Flooring is renowned for having the smallest micro-bevel joint in the industry. This provides a consistently tight-fitting product, and ensures the smoothest surface on the market.

What is RSO 2000?

This designation underscores the sophisticated manufacturing process that yields the finest hardwood floors on the market. It is our standard and the key to our success.

The techniques involved in the development of our Melrose™ Heritage Collection and the Titaniumized Gator Coat™ process are achieved through eight stages that ultimately guarantee a consistently high quality, and extremely durable product.


How did we achieve this?

STAGE 1

The highest quality Northern Hardwoods are carefully selected for colour consistency and length.

STAGE 2

Material is then kiln dried to exacting standards, surpassing industry specifications.

STAGE 3

The dried material is sorted in environmentally controlled warehouses to ensure dimensional integrity

STAGE 4

Planks are machined with extreme precision (within .005") to guarantee straightness and consistent sizing.

STAGE 5

Milling of material is further enhanced by accurate working of the tongue and groove, your assurance of a tight fit and easy installation.

STAGE 6

We hold the distinction of having the smallest micro bevel and the smoothest surface in the industry. This is achieved by panelizing our products prior to sanding.

STAGE 7

Multiple coats of ultraviolet cured polyurethane are applied using the Titaniumized Gator Coat™ process. Abrasion analysis (Taber tests) on this finish have proven that it outperforms all other competitors by a wide margin.

STAGE 8

Stringent quality control measures are adhered to, at every stage of manufacturing. Our production methods, dedication to consistency and precision will give you peace of mind in choosing our product.
