FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The three questions we hear most about hardwood installation.

Which type of wood should I choose?

We install oak, maple, cherrywood, ash and beech, with walnut and cherry available on special order — in grades from No. 1 Clear through to Rustic, and in several board widths. The right choice comes down to your style, the room, and how much traffic the floor gets. We’ll walk you through the options and recommend what fits best when we give you your estimate.

Does the wood need to acclimate before installation?

Yes. Solid hardwood should adjust to your home’s temperature and humidity before it’s laid — this helps prevent cupping or gaps down the road. For damp areas such as basements, where humidity is normally higher, we especially recommend parquet (marquetry) flooring, which stands up well to those conditions.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Planchers Locas is fully licensed with the RBQ (#5635-4921-01) and the CCQ (#631-164). We’re a trusted business that has been installing and restoring hardwood floors across the West Island and North Shore since 1995.
