About Us

Black River Flooring is the ideal flooring solution for those who want something unique and distinctive to express their discerning tastes. Every one of our products is produced by skilled craftsmen in our state of the art facilities right here in Canada

Our process begins in the forests of Quebec, where trees are carefully selected for their yield, age, and size. All of our wood is from environmentally managed lots that will ensure healthy forests and wood supply for generations to come.

Next the wood is processed at the kilns and then off to the mill. Our hardwood floors are kiln dried to between 7% & 9% moisture content. Our pine goes through a “crystallization” process where the wood is kiln dried, and processed to remove 90% of the resins, resulting in a floor that is harder, more stable, and trouble free.

Once milled into the familiar flooring planks, it is off to the state of the art U.V. finishing plant located in Laval.

We have developed our flooring line into three distinctive products.PrefinishedThe flooring is sanded and then either stained one of our beautiful colors or left natural. It then has 7 coats of urethane which is baked on under Ultra Violet (UV) light between each coat. The first and last coat contains the popular Aluminium Oxide mineral. Pre-Oiled The flooring is sanded then has three coats of an UV cured oiled applied. The color is mixed in with the oil before it is applied. Oiled floors are becoming increasingly popular, as they are more durable than traditional urethane floors, and can also be touched up more easily in the event of minor damage to the floor. Pre-Oiled floors are, like the urethane floors, maintenance free. Hand Distressed (Antiqued):This is our most popular floor. Skilled craftsman carefully hand distress each and every board. They use specially developed tools and even “pillow” the edges for that authentic time worn look. The floor is finished with our oiled finish.
