The Award Hardwood Floors Company is particularly known for its manufacturing integrity. The company operates a factory in Wausau, Wisconsin that uses only the most modern high tech equipment. From Award’s Wisconsin factory, the company has a plethora of North American hardwoods right out its back door. Don’t be surprised though to learn that Award also manufactures hardwood flooring from a handful of exotic species, which it obtains from around the world. The factory is a busy place, with thousands of feet of lumber being cut and shaped into hardwood flooring every single day. Award pays special attention to the cleanliness of its factory both for the sake of the employees and for the sake of the finished products. The clean environment ensures that dust and contaminants do not tarnish the products it is so proud to produce. Along the same lines, not only is air quality monitored, air temperature and moisture content are monitored and regulated. Specifically, the factory’s humidity is precisely controlled, which results in a drying process that is seamless while ensuring that the final product is as stabile as the species will allow. Award knows that its reputation relies on producing a quality product every single time. As a result, every single board used in Award’s final product is graded. The employees make wood selections by hand, as well as sample and test the boards as they progress through the manufacturing process. Award is proud to announce that every piece of flooring has been individually inspected over and over again. This combination of cutting edge technology and old world craftsmanship produces boards that are unique and of the highest quality.
