Why Source hardwood is made for Quebec homes.
Source brings together three North American species that perform well in our homes. White oak stands up to humidity, red oak offers a warm grain, and ash brings a light tone with bold graining.
“Solid hardwood is an investment that lasts decades in a Quebec home, as long as you manage the winter humidity,” says Sefi Dollinger, Owner of Planchers Bellefeuille, serving Quebec homeowners since 1983.
What it takes for a hardwood floor to last in Quebec.
Solid Source 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.
