/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Brazil Floors installs straight, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet layouts in Canaan, with borders and inlays priced at the house. Herringbone belongs in a century-old village home, and chevron suits an open plan built more recently.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Boards run with the longest wall, the quickest layout and the one with least waste. It also lengthens a narrow village living room.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short boards alternate at right angles in a zigzag, each cut on the spot. It is period-correct for a colonial dining room.
Chevron Hardwood
Plank ends are mitered at 45 degrees so each row forms a clean point. It fits open plans in recently built homes.
Diagonal Hardwood
Boards laid on the diagonal carry the eye across the room, so a small kitchen looks bigger.
Checkerboard Parquet
Squares of oak alternate their grain from tile to tile, a traditional look in a sunroom.
Basket Weave Parquet
Oak strips woven in a basket pattern, usually edged with a darker border, as seen in the oldest houses.

Hardwood Floor Installation FAQ
Direct answers on cost, scheduling and preparation for hardwood floor installation in Canaan, from Lower City to South Canaan.
Get your Free In-Home EstimateHow much does hardwood floor installation cost in Canaan, CT?
Our nailed-down labor is $2.25/Sq Ft, and nails plus underlayment sit inside that rate. Material and install together are $5.50/Sq Ft for unfinished oak or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Can new oak go over the old planks in my Lower City house?
Often, once we confirm the existing boards are solid. Soft areas are screwed tight or replaced first so the new floor stays flat.
What floor suits a concrete slab?
Engineered hardwood, floated over padding with glue at the joints so nothing is nailed into the slab. Labor for that method is $2.00/Sq Ft.
Can you also lay vinyl plank or laminate?
Yes, for $2.00/Sq Ft and $1.99/Sq Ft in labor respectively. Vinyl plank is the safer pick for a cellar near the river.
How quickly does the flooring arrive?
The next day. Trucks leave Milford every morning, and the boxes reach Canaan before the crew needs them.
What does a new oak stair tread cost?
$60 for each tread, with riser, nosing, stain and labor included. Stairs that are in good shape and just need new finish are $50 per step.
How do I pay for the job?
Labor is paid when the crew shows up to start, and material when it is delivered. Sanding work is billed in two halves, one when it begins and one with the final coat.
What warranty comes with the install?
A year of labor warranty from us and the manufacturer warranty on the boards. Our crew members are licensed, insured and NWFA certified.
