Solid Wood Flooring Supply

Woodman — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 21:38:40 +0000

If you are looking for a solid wood floor, don’t wait! Unlike other commodities, wood is susceptible to shortages and this is definitely the case in the solid wood flooring supply today. Whether it be Red Oak or White Oak or the exotic woods we sell here at stewartfloor. For us the supply is very challenging due to the current conditions in South America due to the rainy season being at its most difficult. This affects greatly the ability to remove logs from the forest and for our flooring manufacturers to keep supplies of raw materials. Although it may seem that purchasing a wood floor is no different than going the supermarket and choosing your favorite items, it is in fact, very much different. Supply of product and availability of width and species can vary greatly throughout the year and for various reasons.

Stewartfloor Flooring being Boxed in Paraguay

Does the person you are speaking to actually own the flooring he/she is proposing to sell to you? Do they have any investment outside of buying the flooring from an importer and selling it to you? Here at Stewartfloor we are involved in every process along the way. I purchase directly from the manufacturer in the country of origin. We have coordinated a cohesive package of the most unique and sought after tropical species available and coordinated all the trim work to match for your convenience. All products are run to my specification in Brazil, Paraguay and Peru based on my 13 years of experience in the Exotic wood business and processed by a few of the finest manufacturer partners. These partners have been selected based on their quality approach and respect for nature. All products are finished to our specifications, packaged with foam between the layers to protect your investment and packaged in our Stewartfloor branded box. Do we have to do it like this, no, but it is my personal commitment to you.

Woodman — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 17:35:42 +0000

Why should you buy your prefinished exotic wood flooring from stewartfloor? I am a direct importer and actually control the quality from start to finish. Here I am at our North American prefinish partner inspecting and “racking out” some Brazilian Teak/Cumaru which is being run. At stewartfloor, we know what we sell and sell what we know! As you can see, I prefer to take a hands on approach to what I do so that I can be properly informed when discussing with my clients.

Woodman — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 01:54:15 +0000

Stewart Floor is proud to be able to offer this truly unique tropical hardwood floor. Although sometimes referred to as Brazilian Oak, this species grows in Paraguay not Brazil. Amendoim features a tight knot and swirled grain which separates it from all other tropical species as truly unique in a straw brown/reddish hue. Stewart Floor finishes this with a natural finish rather than tinting it with a red tint to blend the color like many of our competitors. This is a truly unique warm species which expresses itself unlike any other tropical flooring. Call today to learn our current inventory of Amendoim which we offer in 3/4″ x 3″ solid prefinished as well as in 3/4″ x 4″ and 5″ widths with 1′ to 7′ lengths.

Flooring Samples to Decide Purchase

At Stewartfloor we are pleased to provide free hand samples in assisting homeowners in their purchase decision. It’s important to keep in mind that wood is a natural product and samples are just that, samples. Samples provide an idea of what an overall floor will look like, but it is key to consider pictures and larger samples if you are not familiar with what to expect or comfortable in making a decision. Stewartfloor is happy to assist with this as we provide full boxes of flooring for purchase.
