Woodwright provides installation guidance and industry-standard on-site services including floor preparation, moisture testing, and professional installation.

Installation requirements can vary by product and application. Always refer to the applicable Woodwright product documentation and manufacturer's installation instructions for project-specific requirements.

Care and maintenance requirements can also vary according to the flooring and finish system. Contact our team for information specific to your Woodwright product.

Woodwright product documentation commonly references subfloor preparation and flatness requirements, but the correct tolerance should always be confirmed against the specific product's installation instructions.

For example, Woodwright's White Oak specification references flattening the slab to a tolerance of 1/4” in 10' using cement-based floor leveler. Requirements may vary by product, so the applicable specification should be followed.

Woodwright's product documentation references calcium chloride testing as part of its installation requirements.

Moisture-testing requirements can vary by product and installation system, so always reference the applicable manufacturer and Woodwright installation instructions to ensure the requirements for the project are met and warranty conditions are maintained.

Adhesive requirements depend on the specific flooring product and installation system. Woodwright product specifications reference polyurethane or urethane-based adhesives for applicable direct-glue installations.

Woodwright's specifications have referenced Bostik products as a recommended adhesive option. Always follow the current product-specific installation instructions.

Certification and documentation availability varies by product and specification. Woodwright currently identifies FSC® certification options for solid and engineered products, FloorScore® certification for many engineered products, and Health Product Declaration (HPD) documentation for many custom products.

Woodwright's current Architects & Designers information also references options such as no-added urea formaldehyde (NAUF), ultra-low-emitting formaldehyde (ULEF), and VOC-compliant stains and finishes where applicable.

If your project has specific LEED, WELL, Living Building Challenge, indoor air quality, sourcing, or material documentation requirements, contact Woodwright early in the specification process so the appropriate product documentation can be confirmed.

Warranty coverage varies by product, installation method, application, and applicable product documentation.

Send us your project details , quantities, specifications, and location, and our team can help determine the appropriate pricing approach.

Because Woodwright flooring is made to order, pricing varies according to the material and project specification.

Factors can include wood species and grade, solid or engineered construction, plank dimensions and widths, cut, texture, custom color, finish system, quantity, custom fabrication, installation requirements, and overall project complexity.

The best way to establish accurate pricing is to provide our team with the project's specifications and requirements.

Production timing is determined on a project-by-project basis rather than by a single published lead time.

Factors can include the species and grade selected, construction, quantity, dimensions, custom color or texture, finish system, specialty fabrication, sample approval, material availability, and the complexity of the overall specification.

Installation requirements and project scheduling can also affect the overall timeline. Your Woodwright representative can help establish an appropriate production schedule once the project requirements are understood.

Woodwright is best involved early in the design and specification process, particularly when a project includes custom wood flooring, stairs, walls , ceilings , tiered seating, or other specialty applications.

Early involvement allows the team to help evaluate species, construction, dimensions, color, texture, finish, installation requirements, sustainability documentation, sampling, and production considerations before the specification is finalized.
