When a couple purchased their new condo in Carrboro, NC, they knew it needed a serious flooring upgrade. The existing flooring—carpet inexplicably installed under LVP—was far from ideal. Once they saw the condition of the flooring during removal, they realised the importance of choosing a trusted, reputable flooring company to bring their vision to life. That’s when they turned to A1 Floors.
The result? A sleek and sophisticated new floor featuring engineered hardwood from the Avondale Collection in Bay, part of the Azalea Lane series. The transformation is nothing short of spectacular, and right now, you can enjoy 40% off your entire project, applied at your free in-home consultation!
The Challenge
The original flooring was a mess. With carpet hidden beneath LVP and ceramic tile needing removal, the project required extensive preparation. The condo’s gypcrete subfloor posed an additional challenge, necessitating careful leveling and patchwork to ensure a smooth, flawless base for the new engineered hardwood.
The Solution: Avondale Collection Engineered Hardwood
The couple selected Avondale engineered hardwood for its:
- 4-inch plank width: A stylish choice that adds visual dimension and sophistication to the space.
- 3 mm wear layer: This aggressive thickness is far superior to the standard 1–2 mm in most engineered hardwood, offering:
- Greater durability.
- Increased refinishing options for the future.
- Exceptional strength for long-term beauty.
The Bay colour in the Azalea Lane series brought a warm, inviting tone to their home, perfectly complementing their modern aesthetic.
The Process
- Floor Removal:
- Old flooring, including ceramic tile and the LVP with carpet underneath, was meticulously removed.
- Subfloor Preparation:
- The gypcrete subfloor required significant patching and leveling to ensure a stable foundation for the engineered hardwood.
- Float Glue Installation:
- Using a tongue-and-groove glue method, the Avondale hardwood was expertly installed to float over the prepared subfloor.
- Finishing Touches:
- Careful attention to detail ensured seamless transitions and a polished, professional finish.
The Transformation
The results are stunning.
- The warm tones of the Bay colour add a sophisticated and modern vibe to the condo, creating a welcoming and elegant atmosphere.
- The smooth, seamless installation showcases the beauty of the 4-inch engineered hardwood planks, making the condo feel more expansive and cohesive.
- The durable, thick wear layer ensures that this flooring will look just as beautiful for years to come, offering both style and practicality.
Why This Project Stands Out
This project is a perfect example of the transformative power of high-quality flooring and expert installation. The combination of:
- Avondale engineered hardwood’s superior quality.
- A meticulous installation process.
- Extensive prep work to overcome challenges.
has resulted in a space that is not only stunning but built to stand the test of time.
