View the Gallery

Schafer Hardwood Flooring began with a question: “Where can we find flooring that has both natural beauty and high-quality, long-lasting performance?” After a long search for beautiful, natural hardwood flooring that lasted a lifetime and was manufactured with sustainable practices, we kept coming up short.

The solution was close to home: Do it ourselves.

For over 40 years, Schafer’s aim has always been to find the best, most beautiful North American hardwoods and transform them into ultra-wide flooring that lasts a lifetime. Every plank contains three layers of hardwood, engineered to remain stable, durable, and beautiful for generations. Our proprietary technology means your hardwoods won’t warp, cup, or twist, wherever you place them.

Made to order. Made for life.

Get engineered flooring for any specification: up to 16-inch widths, 20-foot lengths, and four grades of hardwood. Select from our wide range of finishes, or complete it on-site with your own unique finish.

With StableCor™ in the center, Schafer flooring eliminates length shrinkage, width shrinkage, cupping, and expansion, even while the flooring is under added stress from difficult conditions such as radiant heat.

Our Design Ethos: Telling Stories That Last a Lifetime

Every piece of wood has a story to tell.

We search for the unique characteristics within each tree, celebrating the natural beauty of woodgrain that you and your family will walk upon for years, perhaps even generations, to come.

But carefully-chosen hardwoods is just the beginning.

For your floors to remain strong, beautiful, and straight through years of weather, walking, and wear-and-tear, they need to be constructed with that in mind.

We engineer our three-ply, all-hardwood floors for decade of strength and stability so that they perform as well as they look.

We also believe flooring should be uniquely yours.

That’s why we offer four unique cuts of wood, eight species, four grades, and a wide variety of finishes.

In the end, each plank’s story adds to the design of your home, creating spaces that will inspire new stories for generations to come.

How We Source Wood

90% of the mills we work with are in the American Midwest, and all are in North America.

We ethically collaborate with sawyers and lumber mills to selectively harvest the finest lumber nature has to offer. By focusing on specific subspecies within a variety of wood types, we ensure consistent color and optimal yield. Each board carries a story, with roots that begin deep in the forest.
