The rich Beauty of Hardwood and the Comfort of wood flooring over radiant heat is an unsurpassed Luxury your home deserves. All of our floors here a Launstein are crafted for use over Radiant Heat, and our products are tested more than any other radiant floor company.

There are many Benefits of Heated Wood Flooring. Radiant Heat emits a steady comfortable warmth from the floor up, unlike forced air heat which blows hot air directly toward your ceiling, this is why your thermostat could be set at 70 and your home still feels cold. With radiant heat you will no longer dread the thought of stepping out of bed onto a cold floor, any room with heated flooring would be kept at an even cozy temperature. Heating your home with a Radiant Heat is also less expensive than Natural Gas Heating. They are also Healthier option to forced air heat, because a heated floor does not kick up dust and allergens every time it turns on, unlike the forced air in your home. Because your heated floor doesn't blow dust and allergens across your home, it will cut down on the amount of dusting your home requires too.

As a result of our years of testing and being an innovator in the radiant heat industry we have cultivated relationships with some of the best radiant heat contractors throughout the United States and Canada.

Carb2 Compliant Engineered Floors

Low VOC Flooring

Here at Launstein we pride ourselves in being stewards to the world around us, we are always searching for ways to improve our products, ensuring your home or business has the best flooring available on the market today is our number on priority.

With the improvements in technology and science over the years, we have come to find out that some of the old ways of building houses and buildings were not the healthiest. An example of this is Asbestos, which was used as in insulator for a long time; then science proved it was making a lot of people sick. So it was not used anymore.

For a long time the building industry had used formaldehyde has an adhesive for composite wood products; like engineered flooring or particle board. But it turns out the formaldehyde is a carcinogen, which is why we do not use it in any of out flooring products.  This issue has garnered a lot of attention and back in 2007 California past the CARB2 complaint law. Which drastically reduced the amount of acceptable levels of formaldehyde in composite wood products.

Our products are also Low VOC, which means Low Volatile Organic Compound. VOC's have been used a sealants and thinners and solvents for years, especially when working with resins. Not all VOC's are unhealthy, but our company has dedicated ourselves to using less and less of them because we not only want to ensure your floors are beautiful, we also want them to be healthy for you, your co-workers and your family!

Hardwood Floors crafted in Michigan

A Word from our Founder

May 26th, 1937 - June 9th,2015

"I started this company as a sawmill in 1956, but the last 35 years has been devoted to hardwood flooring. Our company is primarily direct sales but we work with many designers and builders across the nation and beyond.
We are the pioneers of hardwood floors tested over radiant heat and continue to test our floors over new systems as they arise. All of our flooring products can be used over radiant heat if simple guidelines are met.
Recently we have added a burnished oil finish option in a wide range of colors. This can include several different surface textures to achieve an “Old World” appearance including hand scrape, distress, wire brush and saw mark.
We are proud of the products we produce here at our plant in Mason, Michigan. Also, we are aware of the need to conserve our natural resources. Our lumber is purchased from mills practicing sustained yield forestry."
