Lauzon Select & Better Hard Maple Vela Solid Hardwood Flooring | 4¼" x ¾" | Made in Canada

Lauzon Select & Better Hard Maple Vela is a Canadian-made solid hardwood flooring with a warm, medium-toned stain and an ultra-matte smooth finish — a refined, understated choice for contemporary and transitional interiors across Toronto and the GTA. The Select & Better grade is Lauzon's cleanest grading level, offering a distinguished, even-looking surface with very limited knots and minimal colour variation between planks.

Lauzon has been manufacturing premium Canadian hardwood flooring since 1985. The S&B grade in their Expert Collection represents the pinnacle of consistency — finished with Lauzon's Polynium+ Titanium surface coating, which includes antimicrobial PermaClean technology and produces a surface that is harder and more scratch-resistant than standard aluminum oxide finishes. The ultra-matte sheen on Vela keeps the focus on the natural warmth of the wood rather than surface reflectivity — a quality that interior designers and renovation contractors across the GTA consistently specify for high-end residential projects.

Why Choose Lauzon S&B Hard Maple Vela?

Vela is a warm, inviting stain that sits comfortably between a natural maple and a mid-brown tone — versatile enough to work with a wide range of furniture and cabinetry styles without competing with them. The ultra-matte finish is particularly well-suited to modern GTA homes where a natural, low-sheen look is preferred over a high-gloss surface. Matte floors also show less dust, footprints, and minor scratches in everyday use — a practical advantage that homeowners with busy households or pets appreciate immediately.

The S&B grade ensures that every plank in every box looks like it was meant to be there. Very limited knots, subtle colour variation, and a consistent appearance from board to board — this is the grade that renovation contractors in Markham, Richmond Hill, and North York reach for when the client wants a premium, furniture-quality result. And because this is solid ¾" hardwood, it can be sanded and refinished multiple times over its lifetime, giving you a floor that can grow and change with your home for decades.
