liv: a small name with a big meaning

Scandinavian Origin 

Last Fall, in our search for a short yet meaningful name, we came across the word liv, of Scandinavian origin, meaning both life and protection. The choice felt obvious, as it perfectly reflects what our finishes do- they protect the life of wood floors. As an added bonus, liv is easy to remember!

As Generations Intact 2500 is the next level up in our finishes, the addition of UP felt like a natural fit. UP conveys elevation and excellence, while also standing for Ultimate Performance.
 

And now, the installation…

The subflooring in our home was concrete with radiant heating. We chose an Engineered flooring, since it is the best choice for a glued installation and is compatible with this type of subflooring. We also hired a professional installer. Since installing a wood floor is not exactly a daily event, I must say that we were a bit nervous when the day arrived… once the floor is glued down, there is no second chance, it has to be perfect from the start.

The installer was impressed by the quality of the product: The floorboards were straight, with constant thickness and width. No unpleasant surprises. After a few rows, our installer told us that he had never seen such quality in a product, such consistency. No defects or imperfections that could have complicated his work or negatively affected the results. Top notch milling, in his own words. The installer’s knowledge and good words put our minds at ease. Our wood floor is not only magnificent but will be installed according to the highest standards of practice. We can sleep soundly, knowing that we made the right decision.

Investing in quality

“After several months of living in our new home and seeing our flooring every day, I can confirm that we made the right choice: the floor is stunning. Very chic. Very classy. It is THE finishing touch to our décor. It is also quite easy to maintain and keeps its original look.”

A hardwood floor is a significant part of any construction or renovation budget. We thought about choosing a less expensive flooring with a similar look from another manufacturer. The ease of installation, impressive quality of the product and final look confirm that we made the right choice with Mercier Wood Flooring. Our satisfaction and peace of mind make the investment completely worthwhile.
