Why Choose Bruce Natural Choice Strip Hardwood

 

  • Proven design: 2 1/4-inch strip flooring has been used in homes for decades and continues to be a smart choice for repairs or whole-home installs.

  • Refinishable: Since this is solid hardwood, it can be sanded and refinished multiple times if needed.

  • Less glare: The low-gloss urethane finish hides scratches better than high-shine floors.

  • Reliable build: All planks are made from solid oak and come prefinished for easier installation.

    You’ll find several warm and natural color options in this collection, including:

    • Sierra – a soft brown with subtle tone shifts

    • Desert Natural – a neutral finish with wide design appeal

    • Mellow – gentle and light, suited for brighter spaces

       

 

 

Debunking Common Myths

 

  • “Narrow strip floors are outdated.”
    Not true. These floors are still one of the best ways to match older homes or maintain a clean, classic look.

  • “Low gloss means low durability.”
    Also false. Low-gloss finishes often hide scratches better and don’t show dust as easily.

  • “You can’t refinish prefinished hardwood.”
    You can. These floors are solid oak and can be refinished, though you’ll need to remove the factory finish first.

Flooring 101 - FAQs

What is the width of Bruce Natural Choice Strip flooring?
Each plank in this collection is 2 1/4 inches wide, which is considered a narrow strip. This size is great for traditional homes or matching older hardwood flooring.
Yes. These are solid hardwood floors, so they can be sanded and refinished multiple times over their lifetime.
The product comes prefinished with a low-gloss urethane coating, which reduces glare and shows fewer surface marks compared to high-gloss finishes.
Bruce Natural Choice Strip flooring must be installed using either nail-down or glue-down methods over a wood subfloor. It is not compatible with floating floor systems.
While technically possible, a professional installer is recommended due to the precision required for nail-down or glue-down hardwood, especially with narrow strip widths.
