Find out everything you need to know about the products and services offered by
Maschino Wood Floors, a
flooring company in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. From purchasing and preparing for our arrival to floor
care, we try to anticipate your questions and provide the answers here.
Wood Flooring is measured by
square feet: length x width =
square feet
You should always add 10% more wood flooring than what you need in square feet for waste and if you
are doing the 45 degree angle floor or design in floor allow 15% more to your order.
Do-it-yourselfers we provide you with the knowledge of how to install your floor the right way.
You can call our number, available 16 hours a day, to get information on how to do it. It's all FREE
and the person talking to you will have installed 1000's of square feet and is knowledgeable.
Shipping of your floor is "free" in the lower 48 states, shipped to your home or business. We
do not "unload" the product and you will need someone there when it is delivered to take the product
from the street to inside your house or business.
Delivery of your floor "product": From the time of purchase to the delivery date you should be between 4 to 6 weeks.
Each floor is worked individually after the purchase.You can call us to see what your lead time will be.
The actual look of our floors does not look like the floors you see in a carpet store: Our
beveled edges are done by people, by hand, and not machines, so they are not perfect and this is how we
want them to look. When we do it by hand it tends to have an older look
and is beautiful. This look is timeless and does not go out of style.
The shine of the finish: Our floors come with a satin finish, this finish still has a sheen
that is somewhat shiny but will be better 4 years after your purchase of the floor. Meaning
the shinier the finish the more the wear and tear will show up years down the road. We do offer
other sheens like matte, semi gloss and gloss. Just call when you make your purchase and we will
fax you something to sign to verify the change.
Milling of the wood is not perfect: This is the look we are trying to achieve, because we
work each board, we will already have looked at each board.
Average length of the boards of the flooring: 3-4 feet with 7" being the shorts (closets)
and 6' being the longest.
Acclimation: When the flooring leaves our building it will be moisture tested and will
usually run about 5 percent. You would want to install your floor when the moisture content is running
between 3-8 percent moisture. Sub floor should be about the same. When you get your flooring
please do not lay it directly on concrete with out having some spacers under the flooring and do not store
it in a high moisture area.
