Anderson

With so many wood flooring manufacturers to choose from, how do you decide which one is the right fit for your home and lifestyle? Different manufacturers carry different products and have features and processes that set their product apart from the rest. Join us here on the Woodboys Blog over the next few months as we try to cover different manufacturers of hardwood flooring and what sets them apart from their competitors. Let us help you explore your options.

For those of us who are concerned with where our wood flooring comes from, Anderson offers a great product that happens to be made close to home. Many of the products we use on a regular basis are made overseas where materials and labor are less expensive. However, Anderson can boast that it’s been made in America since 1946. In fact, their hardwood floors are hand-scraped and hand-stained right here in South Carolina. It doesn’t get any more local than that! Most of the work is finished through the Anderson Prison Work Program which focuses on rehabilitating lives of prisoners. Because it teaches them a specific trade and skill, it’s been a proven way to dramatically lower the rate of recidivism and re-incarceration. They’re investing in individuals and making a difference.

With their patented Luster-Lock Ultra finish coating every one of their products, you can rest assured that your floor will be durable. This finish has been proven to protect your floors up to six times better against daily wear and tear compared to the average hardwood floor finish. It also provides a stain-resistant coating, making it impervious to most household spills. You can have peace of mind knowing that your floors are durable enough to stand up to your everyday life.

What kind of floors can you find in Anderson’s line of hardwood flooring products? They have some beautiful hand-scraped floors in a variety of colors and species to make your home feel cozy, intimate, and full of character. One of their most popular lines, Casitablanca will offer a very rustic look, helping to hide little dents and dings and wear and tear. We usually recommend these types of floors if you have little kids or big dogs.
