ENGINEERED WOOD FLOORING
OUR CORE
THE BASSWOOD ADVANTAGE: A CORE OF STRENGTH & STABILITY
At the heart of our engineered hardwood lies Tilia Americana, commonly known as basswood—a choice inspired by its unparalleled balance of strength, stability, and sustainability. Harvested responsibly from the lush forests of Canada and the United States, basswood’s unique properties make it the ideal core material for our flooring.
Basswood’s lightweight yet robust nature ensures exceptional stability, while its low pitch content enhances adhesive absorption, creating stronger glue joints for lasting durability. The uniform grain provides superior resistance to warping, resulting in cleaner cuts and effortless sanding, ensuring precision in every plank.
Our engineered core is meticulously crafted using thicker basswood fillets bound by a cross-grain veneer. This innovative construction prevents telegraphing, maintaining a flawless surface that stands the test of time. By choosing basswood, we not only deliver a superior product but also honour our commitment to the environment, supporting local forestry and reducing our carbon footprint.
With basswood at its foundation, our flooring combines the beauty of nature with engineered perfection, offering a reliable, sustainable choice for every space.

OUR LENGTHS
MAXIMIZING PLANK LENGTHS FOR SEAMLESS ELEGANCE
At PurParket, we understand that the beauty of a floor lies not only in its finish but also in the flow and harmony of its design. That’s why we are unwavering in our commitment to consistent plank lengths, ensuring a visually stunning and balanced installation. Every box of our engineered hardwood flooring is thoughtfully curated, featuring random lengths from 24” to an impressive 84”. The heart of our products lie in its longer planks, with approximately 80% measuring between 55” and 80”, creating a sense of grandeur and spaciousness in any setting.
This dedication to maximizing plank lengths allows for fewer seams, a smoother visual flow, and a luxurious aesthetic that mirrors the continuous beauty of nature. Whether your vision is a minimalist modern design or a timeless traditional look, our precisely calibrated planks elevate the artistry of your space, transforming it into a canvas of elegance and sophistication.
While Herringbone and Chevron patterns might look similar at first glance, they have distinct characteristics in how the boards are laid.
Herringbone uses equal-sized boards where the short end meets the long side of the next board, forming a classic zig-zag design. Each board is cut at a 90-degree angle, creating a continuous, interlocking pattern that adds timeless elegance to any space.
Chevron, on the other hand, requires more precision. Our boards are cut at a 45-degree angle, forming a series of striking arrow-like shapes. This pattern creates a dynamic flow, adding a sense of direction and movement to the room.
