With a long history of specifying hardwood floors, architects and builders understand the benefits and challenges of working with the material. There’s no doubt that occupants of residential and commercial buildings love the look and feel of hardwoods under their feet. But specifiers may presume that hardwood floors are more expensive and that an alternative product may install and repair easier. Architects may also be concerned that the wood is sustainably sourced.   Innovation in today’s solid-hardwood floors delivers renewed confidence to specifiers. This course will describe the floating hardwood floor and the solutions it brings to green building, to ease of installation and repair, and to beauty that will last for generations.
