			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Industry standards allow for 5-7% waste in cuttings and defects.  <a href="http://www.stewartfloor.com/buying/how-to-select-the-right-species/">Measuring Rooms for Hardwood Flooring</a> unless you have odd angled rooms or off grade material, this should provide enough material.  If you want to have extra wood in case of damage or plank replacement it is a good idea to purchase an extra box so that you know the finishes match and the profile matches.</p>
<p>If you are buying first quality material which is well manufactured and graded, you simply do not need to order excessive volumes of material.  The exception to this rule would be unless you are going to do a lot of further hand selection prior to installation.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Shopping for a new wood floor and confused by names?  Names such as Brazilian Koa?  Koa is a wood from Hawaii, but some refer to <a href="http://www.stewartfloor.com/species-types/tigerwood-hardwood-flooring/">Tigerwood</a> as Koa.  Often times it seems some cannot resist to urge to &#8220;create&#8221; a name in the hopes of relating to the consumer, while confusing their competitors.  True common names for Tigerwood include Muiracatiara and Goncalo Alves, named after the man who discovered the tree &#8211; Goncalo Alves.  The list goes on and on.  Another good one is <a title="Brazilian Oak" href="http://www.stewartfloor.com/species-types/amendoim-hardwood-floors/">Brazilian Oak</a> which can refer to Tauari or now more commonly, Amendoim.  Although Tauari grows in Brazil, Amendoim is not found in any significant volumes at all, but rather next door in Paraguay.  Neither of which has any relation to any Oak.  Tauari is normally stained and Amendoim is a unique exotic with swirly grain and a tight knot structure which separates it from all other exotics.  This madness only serves to confuse rather than to educate.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t worry, we are here to help and can dispel any myths or fairy tales you have been told.  Your head need not be spinning, The Woodman is here to help!</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you think the national big box stores are the only option for your new floor?  <a href="http://www.stewartfloor.com">Hardwood Floors For Less</a>?  Does it seem that they have the best prices?  Don&#8217;t allow yourself to believe it.  As you know, they spend millions and millions of dollars on advertising to attract clients.  As we all know, nothing is for free and those costs have to be included in their products.  We don&#8217;t have this overhead!</p>
<p>All of our products are purchased directly from the manufacturer and imported by us.  We are experts at what we do and are very educated in what we sell and regarding the competition, in many cases we know exactly where they buy their flooring.  We encourage you to inform yourself and to compare the quality, service and pricing as you are likely to be surprised.  Top quality flooring delivered at truly direct prices is what we do everyday.</p>]]></content:encoded>
