What to expect at a Chicago hardwood flooring showroom

A screen lies about wood
Every hardwood looks good on a backlit monitor. Grain, gloss and undertone all shift the moment real daylight hits a real board — which is exactly the thing you can't judge from a product photo. A showroom exists so you commit a whole floor with your own eyes, not a render.
What's on display
Our Schiller Park showroom works with 20+ brands — Kährs, Mannington, Mirage, DuChateau and more. Call (847) 233-6300 to ask what's on display before you come.
Bring your light, not just your room size
The most useful thing you can do: take samples home and look at them in the actual room, at the actual time of day you live in it. North-facing Chicago living rooms pull cool; a west-facing kitchen at 5pm warms everything a full shade. We do samples for pickup — a $50 refundable deposit per sample, so the boards come back for the next person.
Contractors: open a trade account
Contractors can open a trade account with an Illinois resale certificate and buy tax-exempt. Unfinished is on hand; brand floors are special order from the mills, usually 1–2 weeks — call (847) 233-6300 to confirm.
