We are a manufacturer of high quality
hardwood plank flooring. Our hardwood floors are found in homes and
buildings - from vacation cabins to custom designed homes and from
office complexes to retail stores.
Choose from the unparalleled beauty and
quality of oak, ash, cherry, hickory, maple or black walnut. Our
hardwood floors look real because they are real! Those looking for
better quality than the commodity-grade red oak that is most commonly
available, find HomerWood™
hardwood flooring has the uniqueness and beauty desired, at less expense
than you might think!
 For
HomerWood™,
Character Grade™
is our target grade and is not an off-fall from other production. Machining
defects are not considered part of the grade.
No two floors are ever the same. Just like snowflakes, nature individualizes
each plank in each floor. This is part of the uniqueness of our floors, one of
the features that appeals to the consumer who seeks individuality.
What is Character?
Character Grade™
is unique and only manufactured by HomerWood™.
We use the word "Character" to describe our flooring because the wood's inherent
characteristics - the very fingerprints of nature - have been beautifully and
reassuringly preserved. Of course, we remove any defects that could weaken your
floor. The end result is an elegant floor that includes both clear and character
planks that reflect the best attributes of the natural wood.
Insist on the Real Thing
Do not confuse Character Grade™
with lower quality rustics, #2 and cabin grades, which contain large edge
defects, stained wood, machining defects and unsound pieces. These inferior
flooring grades are what is left over after they pull the better grade out.
Character Grade™
is the only grade we pull from lumber selected for a sound vintage look.
 Homer Wood™ Prefinished Plank
Homerwood prefinished floors are clear coated, with a low sheen, and
durable finish that utilizes the latest finishing technology backed by a
wear-through warranty. The current technology is multi-coat Aluminum
Oxide used by most major flooring manufacturers, commonly marketed under
private label. The Aluminum Oxide finish replicates the stately look of
many European homes. HomerWood's prefinished Character Grade™ flooring
will add beauty and comfort to your home whether you reside in a rustic
cabin in the mountains, a condo in the city or a luxurious home in the
suburbs.
HomerWood's Character Grade™ maintains the
most natural look possible in our flooring. Cherry and Walnut may
contain some lighter colored sapwood. For a sap-free look, simply order
15% more and have your installer remove the sap. Cherry is our #1 best
seller. When you receive your cherry floor it will be lighter in color
than the sample board. Cherry reacts with light and darkens with age.

Ease of Care:
HomerWood prefinished floors are easy to care for. Simply vacuum often,
and/or use a soft dust mop to keep grit and abrasives off the floor. Use
soft floor protectors on your chairs and furniture. Clean your hardwood
floor using a spray solution of hardwood floor cleaner available from
your hardwood flooring dealer. Never use abrasive cleaner or a wet mop.
Warranty:
We will provide a 15-Year Residential Wear Through Warranty on our
prefinished Plank Flooring. Why not longer? If you read the disclaimers
on longer year warranties offered by other companies, you will notice
all the exclusions, disclaimers, and limitations detailed. We have
chosen a marketing strategy which is more straight forward and
realistic.
The
Amish Hand-Scraped Collection
 This
collection of Character Grade™
flooring offers a truly authentic distressed look because it is hand-scraped by
Pennsylvania Dutch craftsmen in the tradition of Renaissance-era woodworking.
New planks are hand-sculpted, one at a time, to create unique custom flooring of
timeless originality and distinction. Unlike most of today's machine-distressed
flooring, no two planks are alike and each bears the signature of the proud
craftsman who created it.
The Amish Hand-Scraped
Collection is available in prefinished and unfinished wood that includes Cherry
Cinnamon, Hickory Natural, Hickory Saddle, Oak Saddle, Red Oak Natural, Black
Walnut Natural and White Oak Natural. Some species are specially-stained to
further enhance and deepen the effect of the hand-scraping. It is a beautiful
choice for adding heritage and history to your home.

Frequently Asked Questions About Homerwood Flooring
Q. Why should I consider "Character GradeTM" versus #2 or Rustic Grades?
A. Most #2 and rustic grades of flooring are "what is left over" after
the flooring plant pulls out the higher grades. Character Grade™
is
made from specially selected timber and it includes the higher grades as
well. This is Homerwood's primary product line, not an accumulation or
byproduct.
Q. Why do you get seasonal separations between planks?
A. This occurs when humidity changes from winter to summer are not
controlled in the house. Typically if the separations occur, it is in
winter and they will close in summer.
Q. Why should I buy Prefinished Flooring versus Unfinished Flooring?
A. Unfinished flooring installed by a professional gives the most
options regarding sheen and custom colors. Prefinished flooring is
convenient. There is less time involved in installation and less mess.
Changes in humidity will not crack the finish between two individual
planks as they can move independently.
Q. Why do some prefinish products carry 25 year warranties?
A. This is strictly a marketing gimmick. If you read the warranty and
disclaimers carefully you will see the only thing covered is total wear
through to raw wood. If you live in a sterile environment and live in
your socks this is a good warranty. Also, if a piece does wear through
only that piece can be replaced.
Q. Why is prefinished microbevelled?
A. When a floor is sanded in your home minor differences in the subfloor
and wood thickness are corrected. Our tiny microbevel is to insure
stocking feet do not catch on the edge of the floor.
