If you're looking for flooring that delivers classic beauty, warmth, and outstanding durability, tongue and groove wood flooring is an exceptional choice. At Granite Bay Flooring and Design, we understand the appeal of this timeless flooring style and offer a wide variety of wood species, colors, and finishes to suit your design preferences.
Understanding the Basics
Tongue and groove flooring has a distinct construction that sets it apart. Here's how it works:
- The Tongue: One side of each flooring plank has a protruding edge called the tongue.
- The Groove: The opposite side of the plank has a corresponding groove.
This system allows the planks to be seamlessly interlocked, creating a smooth, secure surface and preventing gaps.
Benefits of Tongue and Groove Wood Flooring
Tongue and groove wood flooring offers several compelling advantages:
- Classic Beauty: Wood brings an ageless elegance and warmth to any space.
- Durability: Well-maintained wood floors can last for decades or even centuries.

Things to Consider
While tongue and groove wood offers many benefits, keep these factors in mind:
- Cost: High-quality hardwood flooring can be more expensive than some alternatives.
- Water Sensitivity: Wood flooring can be prone to water damage if not properly sealed and maintained. Not ideal for wet areas like bathrooms.
