Why Choosing an NWFA-Certified
Flooring Installer Matters
NWFA certification represents verified knowledge, hands on training, and adherence to nationally recognized hardwood flooring standards. Certified installers understand how materials behave, how subfloors impact performance, and how environmental conditions affect long term results. This level of training helps prevent common installation issues that lead to premature floor failure.
Hardwood Floor Tech follows NWFA installation guidelines to ensure every flooring system is installed correctly from the ground up. Moisture testing, surface preparation, and manufacturer specific requirements are handled before installation begins. This process protects flooring materials, supports warranty coverage, and delivers consistent results across residential and commercial projects.
Choosing a certified installer means working with a professional who understands both the craftsmanship and the technical requirements behind hardwood and laminate flooring. Experience combined with certification creates accountability, reliability, and long lasting flooring performance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an LVP product and an SPC product?
Luxury vinyl planks (LVP) are made of compressed layers of vinyl, with a high resolution image overlaid onto them, to mimic the look of another material. Stone polymer composite (SPC) flooring is similar, in that it includes a high resolution image, overlaid onto vinyl and coated with a transparent wear layer to protect the floor from scratches, stains, fading, etc. However, the core material in SPC is a hybrid of plastic and compressed limestone powder. This makes the planks hard and rigid, rather than soft and flexible.
