PALM BEACH WOOD FLOORS

Are there any limitations as to where your wood floors can be installed? 

 Palm Beach Wood Floors’ flooring is suitable for both residential and commercial projects. It can be installed at, above, or below grade—in any room, including kitchens and bathrooms—and performs beautifully over radiant heat, concrete slabs, or plywood subfloors. Our flooring systems are engineered to perform in a wide range of Palm Beach and South Florida environments, from coastal humidity to temperature-controlled interiors.​

​

Can I buy your floors locally? 

The best way to buy a Palm Beach Floors floor is directly from us. No matter where you are located we can work with you directly. We have worked with thousands of clients worldwide for over 20 years. Our Wood Floor Specialists provide samples and pricing for product selection. They are well versed in all aspects of wood flooring design, with technical expertise to assist you during all stages of your project. 

 

What is “attic stock”? 

Given the custom nature of your new floor, we recommend that you order a small, additional amount of flooring to keep as “attic stock” that can be used to repair or replace boards over the life of your floor, and help you avoid setup fees, additional shipping and longer lead times associated with ordering flooring below our minimum order amounts. 

If you are purchasing a floor that will be stained on site, we also recommend that you order an extra gallon of stain, since stain formulations and colors change on a regular basis, we cannot guarantee availability of your stain in the future. 

 

Why do I need a “cutting allowance”? 

During installation, your flooring professional will need to trim and resize boards to achieve a precise fit. This process creates a small amount of waste that cannot be reused. To ensure full coverage, we recommend ordering at least 10% more flooring than your actual square footage. This additional amount is known as your cutting allowance and helps avoid delays or material shortages during installation.

 

What is acclimation and how does it apply to my project? 

Wood is a natural material that expands and contracts as it absorbs or releases moisture. In some cases, it may be necessary to acclimate the wood flooring before installation. Acclimation should take place inside the structure, after the environment has reached the expected “live-in” temperature and humidity conditions. This ensures your Palm Beach Wood Floors product adjusts naturally to its surroundings for a stable, lasting installation. Your installer can determine the best acclimation period for your project. 

​

What is the difference between your solid wood flooring and engineered wood flooring? 

Palm Beach Floors' floors are available in ¾” solid, ¾” and  ⅝” engineered construction, both with a 4 mm wear layer, and our refinishing warranty guarantees at least three sandings over the life of your floor. The same wood will be used to make your floor whether you choose solid or engineered, so they will be virtually indistinguishable from each other once installed.  

 

Is Palm Beach Floors eco-friendly?  

All Palm Beach Wood Floors products are crafted from natural, sustainably sourced wood. Every material used in production is carefully selected to meet strict ecological and safety standards, and all finished products are routinely tested for formaldehyde content to ensure safe indoor air quality.

​

All timber used in our flooring is harvested using clean felling methods and environmentally responsible forestry practices that preserve oak and ash forests. Palm Beach Wood Floors works closely with local forestries, environmental organizations, and conservation institutions to protect and maintain forest reserves for future generations.

​

What is the lead time for my material?  

The lead time for your materials is dependent on a variety of factors. The exact lead time on your requested material will be calculated at the time your order is placed.
