Why Choose Bruce Dundee Strip 2¼″?

 

  • Proven design: Narrow strip hardwood has been used in American homes for over 75 years.

  • Solid construction: Each board is milled from real oak and can be sanded and refinished multiple times.

  • Classic fit: The 2¼″ width makes this a great match for older or traditional homes, and it’s perfect for tying in with existing floors.

  • Trusted brand: Bruce has been making quality wood flooring for decades and remains one of the most reliable names in hardwood.

     

 

How to Choose the Right Color

 

  • Lighter tones (like Butterscotch or Natural) are best for making small rooms feel open.

  • Medium browns (Gunstock, Saddle) offer a warm, welcoming look.

  • Darker shades (Espresso, Mocha) provide contrast and look great with light walls or trim.

  • Red hues (Cherry, Spice) can bring in more color and match vintage trim styles.

     

 

Debunking Common Myths

 

Myth 1: 2¼” strip flooring is outdated.
Fact: This width is still common in traditional homes and is often required when replacing only sections of original flooring.

Myth 2: All hardwood is hard to maintain.
Fact: Dundee’s high-gloss Dura-Luster finish resists wear and makes everyday cleaning easy with a broom and occasional hardwood floor cleaner.

Myth 3: You can’t refinish this type of flooring.
Fact: You can—multiple times. That’s one of the biggest advantages of solid hardwood over engineered alternatives.
