Choosing the right flooring is more than just a home improvement task; it is an investment in the very foundation of your daily life. The floor you select dictates the ambiance of your rooms, provides comfort underfoot for your family, and significantly impacts the long-term resale value of your property. Among the myriad of options available today, Garrison Hardwood Flooring stands out as a premier choice for those who refuse to compromise on quality, durability, or aesthetic appeal.
For over 60 years, the Garrison Collection has been synonymous with excellence in the flooring industry. Their reputation isn't just built on beautiful wood, but on a "Garrison Distinctive" manufacturing process that ensures every plank is a masterpiece of engineering.
What sets Garrison apart is their "Precision Engineering" approach. While many manufacturers rush the drying process, Garrison employs a dual kiln-drying technique. The wood is dried, processed into planks, and then kiln-dried a second time to ensure unparalleled stability. Additionally, their engineered floors undergo a four-hour pressure hold during the cold-bond gluing process. This meticulous attention to detail prevents warping and ensures that your floors remain flat and beautiful for decades.
Homeowners with busy households, energetic children, and pets need a floor that can handle "real life." Garrison floors are finished with an industry-leading 9 to 11 UV-cured coats, which is significantly more than the industry standard. Utilizing top-tier Treffert anti-scratch top coats, these floors offer a resilient shield against high foot traffic, pet claws, and the occasional spilled drink. Their thick wear layers—some reaching up to 6mm—mean that many of these engineered floors can be sanded and refinished just like solid wood, extending their lifespan indefinitely.
Garrison is deeply committed to both forest health and home wellness. All their hardwood is sourced from replenished forests and is CARB II compliant, meeting the strictest standards for indoor air quality and low formaldehyde emissions. As a member of the U.S. Green Building Council, many of their products are LEED-eligible, often featuring zero-VOC finishes and plant-based WOCA natural oils that are as safe for your children and pets as they are for the environment.
Whether your home is a rustic canyon retreat or a sleek metropolitan penthouse, Garrison’s enormous selection ensures a perfect match for your design vision.
The Garrison Collection offers a staggering variety of species, from classic European Oak and American Walnut to exotic tropical woods. Their collections are designed to evoke specific moods:
Garrison blends cutting-edge technology with time-honored tradition. Their Proprietary Carbonization Units steam the wood at high heat to darken the core and strengthen the fibers, preventing cracks. Simultaneously, they maintain the "Garrison Distinctive" of hand-crafting. Unlike machine-distressed floors, Garrison’s hand-scraped and wire-brushed planks are worked by human artisans, ensuring that no two planks are exactly alike, giving your floor a truly one-of-a-kind character.
Investing in Garrison is not just about the immediate "wow" factor; it is about choosing a product that evolves with your family.
Maintenance is a breeze thanks to the high-quality finishes. Whether you choose the matte UV lacquer or the natural oil finish, these floors are designed to be easily cleaned with pH-neutral solutions. The textured surfaces of the hand-scraped and wire-brushed lines are particularly adept at hiding the minor scuffs and dust that come with family life, keeping your home looking pristine with minimal effort.
High-quality hardwood is one of the few home improvements with a consistently high return on investment. Prospective buyers recognize the Garrison name as a mark of luxury and quality. Installing wide-plank, premium engineered wood can significantly boost your home’s marketability and appraisal value, making it a smart financial decision as well as an aesthetic one.
