What makes Johnson Hardwood’s "hand-crafted" flooring unique?

Each premium plank is precision-milled and individually hand-carved and hand-stained. This artisanal approach ensures that no two boards are identical, providing the look of a custom-commissioned hardwood floor at a more accessible price point.

What kind of finish is used to protect Johnson Hardwood floors?

Most collections feature a high-performance, UV-cured aluminum oxide finish. This specialized topcoat provides exceptional resistance to abrasions and scuffs while maintaining the natural clarity and beauty of the wood grain.

Is Johnson Hardwood environmentally certified?

Yes. Johnson Hardwood is fully CARB II and Lacey Act compliant. They are committed to sustainable forestry, sourcing 30-40% of their exotic lumber from aged or naturally fallen timbers and utilizing water-based finishes to ensure superior indoor air quality.

Can Johnson engineered flooring be installed over radiant heat?

Johnson Hardwood approves specific engineered species—including Oak, Maple, Birch, and Walnut—for use over hydronic radiant heat systems. It is critical to maintain subfloor temperatures below 85°F and relative humidity between 35-55% to ensure stability.
