Q: What is the difference between laminate flooring and wood flooring?
A: Laminate flooring consists of synthetic backing with a high-pressure laminate surface. Laminate is not renewable and therefore has a short usable life span.
Q: My wood is denting. I thought I was buying hardwood?
A: Hardwood contains a cell structure; therefore, if enough pressure is applied, the cell wall will collapse and a dent will appear.
Q: I moved my area rug and my wood is lighter where my area rug was. What happened?
A: Wood goes through a natural aging process called patina (oxidation). Bright sunlight can also accelerate this condition. Moving area rugs or other items that may cause this effect from time to time is recommended to let the covered area oxidize and blend with the rest of the floor.

Q: What types of Sub-Floors are suitable for a Listone Giordano Glue-Down Installation?
A: Listone Giordano thanks to its 5- or 7-ply marine birch plywood support is ideal for installations directly over Plywood, Concrete, Marble, Tiles & Ceramics & Radiant Heat Sub-Floors.
Q: Why is Marine Birch a superior support layer for Listone Giordano engineered glue down hardwood flooring?
A: Marine Birch is the ideal backing for Listone Giordano hardwood flooring because it is more stable than regular plywood substraits. The marine birch, found in Northern Europe, has superior (30% better) mechanical properties than woods like fir and poplar us widely used for the construction of cheaper plywood.
