Lauzon Grey Pre-Finished Maple Hardwood Floors

For the last couple of years, gray has been the "it" color in home decor. From home furnishings to paint, gray is having a moment. So it was only a matter of time before this elegant color started popping up in flooring. Gray is a perfect fit for floors because it is a neutral that blends with most decors and other colors in a home. Available in many shades, light gray to nearly ebony, pre-finished hardwood floors are an economical choice for any home.

Our Annapolis, MD clients selected pre-finished maple hardwood floors by Luzon. Lauzon is a Canadian company that is at the forefront of sustainable forest management and stewardship with FSC® certification. Additionally, all Lauzon hardwood products are manufactured without solvents, VOCs or formaldehyde. Lauzon hardwoods are third party tested and are certified CARB phase 2 – the strictest requirements in the industry establish by the Air Resources Board – California Environmental Protection Agency. This makes Lauzon pre-finished flooring a natural fit for anyone who is concerned about their home environment.

Lauzon pre-finished products come in many shades and colors, from white to black. Our Annapolis client's selected maple hardwood in "agate", a custom factory stain. Lauzon also finished the planks with their "titanium" finish that resists scratches and minimizes yellowing effects from the sun. Lauzon's pre-finished maple hardwood has a 35 year warranty for residential use.

Custom Carpet Runner on Brazilian Teak Stairs

Hallways and stairs experience a lot of foot traffic and usually receive very little interior design attention. Our customer in Crofton, MD wanted to create a visually beautiful space that was also functionally appropriate for the space. With the help of Beers professional flooring experts, the customer selected to install both hardwood and carpeting to the hall and stairway. To ensure maximum durability, Brazilian Teak Hardwood was installed in the hallway with matching stairs from EzTread (made in the USA). To reduce noise and add a design element to the space, Beers created a custom carpet runner for the hall and staircase. The 100% nylon cream carpet from Tuftex, a division of Shaw Industries, was selected specifically for its ability to withstand high-traffic areas. In addition, the carpet was treated with Shaw's patented R2X stain-resistant technology ensuring that it is easy to clean and will look like new for many, many years.

Engineered Hardwood Flooring at Park Place Annapolis

If you live in or visit Annapolis, odds are you have gone past Park Place Condos on West Street and wondered what these homes look like inside. Beers Flooring recently had the opportunity to take a look for themselves and work with a client in the building. These spacious condos have an open floor plan and wonderful views of Annapolis. Beers upgraded the home from the standard wood flooring to American Cherry engineered hardwood flooring through-out the living room and dining room. This color hardwood capitalizes on the amount of light coming from the windows and glass porch door, giving the rooms a bright and airy feel. Engineered wood flooring is also a good choice for the Park Place Condo due to its acoustic properties. While flooring products like vinyl or laminate can have an echo effect, engineered hardwood does the opposite. Engineered wood absorbs much of the sound from walking and other household noises.

Edgewater Home's Stunning Carpet to Hardwood Transformation

For the last 20 years it was common for contractors and homeowners to install beige carpeting throughout newly constructed homes. The neutral covering blended into most home decors and was an affordable standard flooring option. This was the case with our client in South River Colony in Edgewater, MD. Our client had an architecturally stunning curved stairway leading to second floor round hallway with balcony views of the ground floor. The homeowners had already upgraded the space by applying custom marbling paint and murals to the walls. They approached us with request to install new flooring to compliment the luxurious surroundings. Beers Flooring collaborated with the client to design and install hardwood flooring that suited the space. Together, we selected Bruce Hardwood Flooring Red Oak Gunstock. The 3 1/4 inch planks have a high gloss finish that is both beautiful and durable.

Beers Flooring and the homeowners were very pleased with their new hardwood floor. We met the goal of elevating the flooring to the match the luxury of the space even when presented with the challenge of installing hardwood in a round space. Installation of hardwood in curved spaces can be particularly difficult. Unlike other flooring companies, Beers Flooring does subcontract to 3rd party installers. Instead, Beers Flooring invests heavily in education and training of their installation staff. With project such as our Edgewater client this practice pays off. Our professional installation employees have the experience and skills to ensure the hardwood is laid correctly with smooth transitions and seamless cuts.

Below are the before and after photos of the carpet tear-out and installation of Red Oak Hardwood in our client's home.

Decorative Hardwood Flooring Accents

Wood inlays, floor borders and medallions are a sure-fire method of adding elegance and the feeling of luxury to your home. These decorative hardwood accents come in hundreds of shapes, sizes, colors and wood options, like domestic or exotic hardwoods. You can select from a catalog of ready-made motifs, like boats, flowers and geometric designs or work with an artesian to create custom design.


When considering adding decorative accents to your floor, first determine what purpose you want it to serve. Is the accent to draw attention to an area or away from an area? Are you trying to add style to a room or highlight existing features? These questions will help you determine which type of decorative hardwood, inlays, boarders or a medallion, is best for your home.

  • Harwood inlays: Hardwood inlays can be used to visually pull a space together or create separation between two areas. For example, inlays can be used as a means to harmoniously meld vastly different flooring materials between adjoining rooms. Alternatively, hardwood inlays serve to designate gathering spaces and serve as an anchor for a grouping of furniture, like an area rug could.

  • Hardwood Borders: Adding a hardwood border creates an impression of luxury and superior craftsmanship to a room. If you have a bland space, without a lot of architectural interest, adding a border to the floor can serve to elevate the style of the room. Additionally, if you have a room with architectural elements in a specific style, a border can serve to enhance that theme. For example, if your fireplace has neo-classic motifs, adding a floor border with greek key geometric design serves to enhance it’s beauty.

  • Wood Medallions: Is artwork just for your walls? If you are looking to create a “wow” moment in your home, add a wood medallion to your floor. Just like artwork, a wood medallion will serve as a focal point in a room. The intricate design of the pieces coupled with the chosen motif instantly conveys a message about your home. Wood medallions can be added anywhere in the home. They serve particularly well in foyers and entryways. A large wood medallion under a dining room table or a large light fixture adds a touch of elegance. While a floor medallion in front of a fireplace or an arch adds to the beauty of the feature.
