Real, Solid Hardwood for The Greater London Area Homes
At London Flooring Canada, solid hardwood is where our heritage lives - the same premium, built-to-last standard Herbert "Herbie" Holden set when this business traces its roots back to 1989. Available in a range of species, grains, and finishes, our solid hardwood brings genuine warmth to any room, and it's engineered (by proper acclimation and installation practice, not shortcuts) to handle the real freeze-thaw seasons of London and the surrounding towns. Whether you're updating a character home or finishing a new build, our crew delivers premium solid hardwood with professional installation and honest, in-home guidance.
A Solid Hardwood Selection Built on Direct Mill Relationships
Solid hardwood is one of London Flooring Canada's core specialties. We sell and install a full range of solid hardwood species, styles, and brands, and because we buy directly from manufacturers in volume, we pass on fair, transparent pricing rather than big-box markup. We carry and sell many of the industry's respected solid hardwood brands, including Lauzon, Appalachian Hardwood, Armstrong, Mirage, Aacer, Somerset, Vintage, Coswick, Sheoga, Mercier, Kahrs, Bruce, Owens, LM, and Anderson, plus custom-milled options. We can also stain unfinished solid wood into the colour that suits your home - see our [hardwood flooring](/hardwood-flooring) overview for the full species and stain lineup.
Special Financing Available*

See financing optionsSolid Wood Flooring Installation
Our professional installers handle every type of solid hardwood installation: nail-down and glue-down over plywood, concrete, or particleboard subfloors. Installation patterns range from classic straight, random, or diagonal layouts to chevron and herringbone patterns, custom basket weave, Monticello, Haddon Hall, and wood medallions or inlays. Every solid wood floor London Flooring Canada installs follows recognized wood-industry standards, and we build in proper acclimation time to your home's humidity before a single board goes down - the single biggest factor in whether a solid floor stays flat through its first Southwestern Ontario winter. Custom orders are always welcome; our installers genuinely enjoy the harder layouts.
Solid Wood Stairs
Solid wood stairs are true craftsmanship on display - a staircase is the one flooring surface that gets looked at from every angle, every day. Where carpet is the budget-friendly option for stairs (see our [carpet stairs](/carpet-stairs) page), hardwood stairs are the higher-end choice, and the price is built almost entirely on skilled labour. Hardwood stair installation is 100% custom work, which is why experience is the deciding factor in getting a clean result. We build custom square nosings, floating stairs, open-style stairs, and solid site-finished wood treads - full details on our [hardwood stairs](/hardwood-stairs) page.

Real & Solid Hardwood Flooring - frequently asked questions
Properly installed and acclimated solid hardwood routinely lasts 50-100+ years, so it outlives the homeowner and adds long-term resale value to a London-area home.
Not directly - solid hardwood is nailed into a wood subfloor. Over slab, we install plywood first or recommend [engineered hardwood](/engineered-hardwood), which is dimensionally stable and glue-down friendly.
Factory-finished planks arrive sealed at the mill (faster install, micro-bevels between boards). Site-finished is sanded and coated in your home for a perfectly flat, custom-color floor.
Solid hardwood reacts to moisture and temperature swings, so we generally recommend engineered hardwood over radiant heat. If you want solid wood, we'll specify narrow widths and rift-and-quartered cuts to minimize movement - our team will walk you through it during your consultation.
