Hardwood Flooring in Lynnwood, WA from NW Floor Coverings

From Forest to Floor: The Journey and Beauty of Sustainable Hardwood in the Northwest

Hardwood flooring tells a story. Each plank is a chapter of growth, weather, texture, and transformation. And when that wood is sourced and installed responsibly, it becomes a beautiful, lasting tribute to the natural world we cherish here in the Northwest.
 

At NW Floor Coverings in Lynnwood, we’re proud to offer hardwood options that reflect both the style and sustainability values of our community.
 

Sustainably Harvested, Locally Inspired

Many of our wood options come from certified forests or reclaimed sources, ensuring your new floors don’t come at the cost of future forests. We offer products with:

  • FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification
     
  • Domestic harvesting (think Pacific Northwest oak, hickory, and maple)
     
  • Reclaimed barn wood or post-industrial materials
     

These choices not only look fantastic—they support ecosystems and communities near and far.
 

Engineered vs. Solid Hardwood

In wetter climates like ours, engineered wood can be a wise choice. It’s made with a real hardwood veneer over a stable plywood core that resists expansion and contraction. It’s perfect for:

  • Basements
     
  • Condos with radiant heat
     
  • Main floors with wide planks and seamless finishes
     

Solid hardwood, on the other hand, is great for dry, upper floors and offers the opportunity for future refinishing.
 

Custom Finishes That Reflect Your Aesthetic

Want that lived-in farmhouse look? Prefer a matte modern finish? We offer prefinished and site-finished options in every tone and texture, including:

  • Low-sheen natural finishes
     
  • Brushed and distressed textures
     
  • Wide and long boards for open concepts
     

We help you match your floors to your cabinetry, furniture, and natural light—for harmony that feels effortless.
