Frequently Asked Questions: 

Is Johnson Hardwood suitable for the Bay Area’s microclimates?

Yes. We highly recommend Johnson’s Engineered Hardwood for homes in foggy or coastal areas (like San Francisco or San Mateo). The cross-layered construction provides superior stability against the expansion and contraction caused by humidity.

Does Johnson Hardwood offer waterproof options?

Yes. The WaterShield SPC and Rigid Core lines are 100% waterproof. They are specifically engineered to handle spills and moisture that would damage traditional solid wood.

What makes the "Olympus Series" different?

The Olympus Series is one of the widest engineered floors on the market at nearly 12 inches wide. It uses a sliced-veneer process to show the full beauty of the European Oak grain, providing a "luxury estate" look that is currently very on-trend in Palo Alto and Menlo Park.

How do I clean and maintain my Johnson floors?

Because of the 11-step aluminum oxide finish, these floors are easy to maintain. Simply use a soft-bristle broom or a vacuum with the beater-bar turned off, and clean with a wood-safe microfiber mop. Avoid using steam mops or harsh chemicals.
