v     Services to Designers

Wood flooring is a choice for beauty, durability and ease of maintenance.

On the right, the picture depicts a wood floor made of Red Alder from the BC coast.  For this particular project,  Small Island Wood Floors' team used a variety of their pioneer techniques including a hand distress bevel that creates an uneven, flowing effect and a rustic ambiance.

Reclaimed wood also creates a unique look. Small Island Wood Floors' team treats reclaimed wood with great respect and uses a variety of hand-finishing techniques to bring out all the beauty and history of aged wood.

Each floor becomes an art form when non-conventional methods are used.

v     Installation & Finishing

We specialize in Custom Site-Finished Wood Floors and we also install solid Pre-Finished Wood Floors.

Our specialty lies in the making of reclaimed wood floors and sculpted floors

Wood Floor SandingWe have developed over the years our special and unique techniques

·        to give floors a rustic appearance

·        to refinish reclaimed wood to offer an antique look

·        to craft sculpted floors  

·        to create custom stains for blending and coordinating with a room's decor.

Installing unfinished floors requires knowledge and professional experience.  Many variables should be considered before, during and after installing and finishing a wood floor such as humidity, climate, sun exposure, sub-floor condition, wood species characteristics, finish types, nail size etc. 

Humidity for example is a very important. We will not install a wood floor unless it is acclimated to the work site in order to maximize its stability and to minimize the movement of the wood during different seasons. 

We use the best available environmentally-friendly water-base finishes from glossy (wet look) to satin mat and super matte (wax look).  Super matte finishes are chosen for their hiding qualities and for the soft appearance it brings to the wood.

We use top-quality equipment to install and sand floors, increasing the work precision and efficiency.

Special care is taken to minimize dust dispersal.  All rooms with newly finished floors are thoroughly cleaned and ready to move in.

Small Island Wood Floors guaranties professionalism and the best work quality.

v     Insurance claims, Repairs, Renovations & Restorations

We have extensive knowledge in house construction and wood flooring and can usually readily detect structural problems that would cause damage to wood floors and find solutions to remediate to a trouble spot.  We inspect and analyze each work site before installing a wood floor to avoid any problems that could arise in the future. Tools such wood moisture reader, dehumidifier and heaters are used to help restore a proper work site if needed. 

It will be our pleasure to take care of all matters relating to Insurance Claims.
