Why Elegancia hardwood is made for Quebec homes.
Elegancia puts Mercier’s yellow birch front and center, in Distinction grade with a soft matte finish. Yellow birch (merisier) is a classic Quebec species, fine-grained and warm, that ages beautifully.
Five signature colors, from pale Morille to deeper Palomino.
“Yellow birch is our local wood: fine, warm, and made for our homes,” says Sefi Dollinger, Owner of Planchers Bellefeuille, serving Quebec homeowners since 1983.
What it takes for a hardwood floor to last in Quebec.
Solid Elegancia flooring is nailed down over a well-prepared wood subfloor. Solid hardwood is not recommended over a concrete slab (choose engineered instead) or with radiant heat. Always leave an expansion gap around the perimeter.
Target indoor humidity: 35-55%. Below 30%, wood cracks and gaps during winter. Above 60%, there is a risk of cupping. We recommend a central or portable humidifier through the heating season.
