What we walk into in Toronto
Victorian and Edwardian houses in the west end, mid-century bungalows in North York, glass condos downtown, and heritage estates in Rosedale and Forest Hill. Each needs a different assembly.
Solid white oak on wood joists, engineered over concrete condos, stair retreads in 3-storey semis, and porch restorations on Parkdale and High Park Victorians.
How we specify installation here
- Moisture mapping and subfloor flattening before a single board is laid
- Solid nail-down, glue-down engineered, and floating systems
- Herringbone, chevron, mixed-width, and border layouts
- Radiant-heat compatible assemblies with manufacturer warranties intact
Most failed hardwood floors in the GTA were installed on a subfloor nobody measured. Ontario basements sweat, new-build slabs off-gas moisture, and century homes move with the seasons. Green Hardwood starts every install with a Tramex moisture survey, a flatness check, and an acclimation window matched to the species — not a calendar guess.
We install solid hardwood (typically 3/4") where the structure can take it, and premium engineered hardwood over concrete, radiant, or when a thinner assembly is required. White oak is the workhorse of Toronto right now; walnut, maple, hickory, and red oak are specified when the architecture asks for them.
Layout is not decoration. In a Rosedale hallway we run boards to carry the eye to the stair. In a King West condo we often switch to herringbone so a small floor reads as architecture, not leftover material. Transitions to tile, stair nosings, and flush vents are detailed on paper before we cut.
