For over thirty years, Lauzon hardwood flooring in Toronto has delighted customers who want to bring the beauty of nature indoors.
President David Lauzon made his “forest to floor” vision a reality in 1985 when he invested in his passion for sustainable hardwood flooring. Although wood is a popular flooring option and is highly revered for beauty and value it adds to any home, this was not the case when the company was established. However, Lauzon held firm to his belief that the comfort, attractiveness, and resilience of wood made it an ideal flooring material. Ahead of his time in many ways, Lauzon also recognized that because of its renewable and sustainable nature, wood that is properly harvested results in a healthier, more balanced environment. Thus, he demonstrated a commitment to environmental awareness before it was considered fashionable to do so. Now a leader in the flooring industry in North America, Lauzon’s hardwood flooring is recognized globally for its quality, innovation, and high rate of customer satisfaction.
They skilfully combine the craftsmanship of fine hardwood with state of the art technology to produce floors which are comfortable, resilient, and eye-catching. Above all else, they understand that their customers are making an investment in their floors and they are therefore committed to striving for excellence to ensure that their quality surpasses your expectations and that your flooring lasts for many years to come. They achieve this goal by paying close attention to every detail during the production process, including the material’s strength, stability, and uniformity. Each plank is impeccably executed using extremely precise moulding tools and machines which guarantee exact results. Similarly, their tongue and groove is meticulously crafted using the most advanced technology available to ensure that your hardwood will lay perfectly flat and level, creating a smooth, uniform surface. The end result is beautiful and luxurious hardwood which meets their rigorous quality control standards.
Their artisans are continually developing new techniques and introducing innovative styles and textures in order to meet the diverse tastes of their clientele.

In fact, their milling and finishing processes have been developed to reduce waste, optimize resources, and minimize the company’s environmental footprint. As a result, Lauzon flooring in Toronto continues to lead the way when it comes tosustainable forest management and stewardship. From the forest lots that they manage in Outaouais, Quebec to their sawmill, and flooring finishing plants, their dedication to environmental awareness is evident.Examples of their sustainable practices include responsible sourcing, recycling and reusing. Whether they are sourcing wood from Canada or abroad, Lauzon only chooses wood from sustainably managed forests. In addition, they comply with the US Lacey Act, which means that their sources of timber are legal. Because they own and manage 2 million acres of wooden area in Outaouais, their forest management ensures that they have a 25 year supply of quality timber from a renewable resource. To allow for the renewal of younger trees, they harvest less than 30% of trees per 2.5 acres on a 25 year rotation, which guarantees the continual improvement of the forest, as younger, more vigorous trees are given the opportunity to thrive. Healthy, growing trees transform CO2 into oxygen, keeping our air clean. However, once trees mature, this process stops. This means that cutting down a tree whose growth period has ended helps to make room for younger trees to flourish. Once the matured tree is converted into hardwood flooring, it stores the carbon indefinitely, helping the planet.
As part of their dedication to the environment, Lauzon has a state of the art hardwood sawmill which precisely regulates their production to ensure that the use of every block of wood is maximized. Thus, when compared to the competition, they produce more planks from the same amount of wood. In fact, while the industry standard is approximately 45%, Lauzon has an 80% yield rate. Given that they make up 14% of Canada’s hardwood production, their environmental commitment has a tremendousimpact on the planet. Lauzon has a zero waste policy which means that they recycle all of their products. Although much of their wood is dried naturally using wind and careful temperature control, their primary source of energy for their heating and dryers stems from their shavings and sawdust. Any leftovers that they cannot use are turned into extremely efficient carbon neutral pellets for wood burning stoves. Their pellets have the highest BTU energy efficiency rating on the market and their burn time is unmatched.
To build confidence in the quality of your investment, they offer extensive warranties on all of their products including a 35-year warranty for their Designer collection, a 30-year warranty for their Ambiance collection and a 25-year warranty for their Essential collection. They are continually revitalizing their products to be sure that they meet their meticulous standards which is why they have developed a number of innovations including Polynium+MD and NextStepMD in 1999, SunshieldMC in 2003, TitaniumTM in 2009 and Pure Genius® in 2013. Pure Genius is an air-purifying agent activated by light which is integrated into Lauzon’s Titanium floor finish.
