Emory is a real engineered hardwood — oak veneer over a stable multi-ply core, with a brushed surface texture that brings out the grain and gives it depth that smooth-finished hardwood lacks. It's a contemporary interpretation of hardwood that looks more natural and less formal than the mirror-polished floors of the 90s.

The Ideal Texture Collection is built for Canadian climate realities — the engineered core is significantly more stable than solid hardwood across humidity swings. This is the product category that makes it possible to have real wood floors over in-floor heat, on top of concrete slabs, or in spaces where solid hardwood would be a risky choice.

Pro Tip: Real hardwood, including engineered, requires proper acclimation before install — leave the boxes open in the room for 5-7 days before installation. This allows the wood to adjust to your home's temperature and humidity so it doesn't continue moving after it's installed. Skip this step at your peril — it's the source of most hardwood installation failures.

A medium-toned floor that works with both warm and cool interior palettes. The brushed texture adds a casual, lived-in quality that's far more forgiving of everyday wear than a high-gloss finish.
