New Chicago Hardwood Flooring Showroom

by Jim Birch on April 19, 2012

We have been working diligently on the new Chicago Hardwood Flooring Specialties location at 4453 N Elston Ave, Chicago, Illinois 60630 for the past few weeks. We are just about finished installing our new Chicago hardwood flooring showroom and will start sanding and finishing tomorrow!

The Showroom floor is a series of panels of differing hardwoods seperated by a 1 /2″ wide Brazilian Cherry Feature Strip. We have included American Walnut, Ash, Hickory, Rift and Quartersawn Red Oak, and Rift and Quartersawn White Oak from Indiana Hardwood Specialists, Maple in a variety of sizes and grades from Aacer Flooring, and Red and White Oak standards from Henry County Hardwoods.

This hardwood floor was installed on a concrete slab. A layer of 6mm plastic was laid down, and two layers of 3/8″ plywood were floated over it installed perpendicularly with 1/2″ spacing between them. The wood floor was then installed with 1 1/2″ Powernail PowerStaples.

Stay tuned for more pictures and posts!
