/ FLOOR PATTERN DESIGNS
Hardwood Floor Patterns
Brazil Floors installs straight, herringbone, chevron, diagonal and parquet layouts in Putnam, with borders and inlays priced at your visit. Heights Victorians favor herringbone, while farmhouses tend toward a plain straight lay.
Straight Lay Hardwood
Boards run alongside the longest wall, the fastest layout with the least waste, and they stretch a narrow room.
Herringbone Hardwood
Short pieces meet at 90 degrees in a zigzag, cut one by one, which suits a formal dining room in an older house.
Chevron Hardwood
Each board is mitered at 45 degrees so rows meet in a crisp V, a look that flatters open kitchens.
Diagonal Hardwood
Planks laid diagonally draw the eye outward and make a small School Street kitchen read bigger.
Checkerboard Parquet
Oak squares with alternating grain form a parquet floor, a traditional choice for a den or a sunroom.
Basket Weave Parquet
Narrow oak strips weave over and under, usually with a darker border, and belong in the front parlor of an older house.

Get your Free In-Home EstimateWhat will hardwood installation cost in Putnam?
Putnam nail-down work is $2.25/Sq Ft for labor, nails and underlayment inside, and nail-and-glue is $2.50/Sq Ft plus adhesive. With our oak included, Putnam packages come to $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished and $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished. Buying our oak makes the package $5.50/Sq Ft unfinished or $6.00/Sq Ft prefinished.
Is a hundred-year-old Putnam Victorian a good candidate for new oak?
Very often, once we deal with sagging joists and loose subfloor panels. We probe the framing and the moisture level at the estimate.
Will the old carpet be pulled?
Carpet, pad and tack strips come out during prep, and removing an old floor is about $1.00/Sq Ft.
Can you carry the furniture out?
For a flat $250 for the whole house, yes, and it goes back after the install.
When do I pay in Putnam?
Labor is paid the day the crew arrives and begins, and the boxes are paid for when they reach your door. An online estimate booking is worth $250 off.
How long until the wood is delivered?
It leaves the Milford warehouse and generally reaches northeastern Connecticut the next day. Material through Brazil Floors can run up to 30% lower.
What backs the finished floor?
We warrant the labor for a year, and the board maker warrants the wood. Each installer on a Putnam job draws pay from us and carries a license and insurance.
Will you bring samples to my house?
The estimator carries oak samples to your door and lays them on your own floor in your own light. The visit is free.
