Silverwood Flooring brings revolutionary solid hardwood system to Canada

TORONTO, July 6 /CNW/ - Toronto based Silverwood Flooring Inc. today announced its exclusive Canadian distribution agreement with Junckers Hardwood Inc., the world's premium manufacturer of commercially rated solid hardwood flooring.

Junckers has an extensive project history including Heathrow Airport, the Four Seasons hotel chain, St. Regis Residences and even the stage of the popular TV hit "Dancing with the Stars." The product, which is backed by a 25 year commercial warranty, is available in a variety of stained and natural species, comes in 9/16", 3/4" and 7/8" thickness and can be glued, nailed down or floated - the latter being an ideal method in high rise residential construction. With Junckers' specialized clip system, the floor can be installed directly on concrete without glue or nails.

"The unmatched durability of the Junckers product and the ability to float this product over concrete is a tremendous asset in high rise residential and commercial design", says Tamar Royt, President of Silverwood Flooring. "We are delighted to introduce this solution to the Canadian market".

"Silverwood Flooring is an ideal distribution partner for Junckers as both companies believe in high quality products and excellent customer care", explains Ms. Karen Rosen, President of Junckers Hardwood Inc. "We are very excited about working with Silverwood to increase our Canadian presence."
