Bruce® manufactures a variety of wood constructions that assure you can
install the natural beauty of wood in any room of the home.
NAIL-DOWN*
S O L I D W O O D F LO O R S
Made of 100% solid wood, traditional floors feature a 3/4” thick construction designed for nail-down installation to wood
subfloors in rooms on the first floor or above.
GLUE-DOWN*
STAPLE-DOWN*
A New Dimension in Solid Durability
Bruce pioneered the development of a proprietary 5/16” thick, solid wood construction that can be glued down over
concrete and other hard surfaces, or stapled to wood subfloors on the first floor or above. The low-profile construction
also allows for smooth transitions to other rooms with different floor coverings, making it a perfect floor choice for
remodeling. See our Natural Choice™ hardwood collection (page 36) for more detailed information on Natural Choice
5/16" products.
GLUE-DOWN*
STAPLE-DOWN*
FLOATING*
E N G I N E E R E D W O O D F LO O R S
Engineered floors feature a 100% wood construction assembled in multiple layers. The wood layers are permanently
bonded together in a cross-ply construction for superior strength and dimensional stability. This makes them suitable for
installation in any room, even the basement. You can glue them directly to concrete, staple them to wood subfloors, or
“float” them above the subfloor with no direct attachment.
* Variations may apply. Consult your sales representative for additional installation applications.
S E L E C T T H E R I G H T LO O K
CO LO R F U L C H O I C E S
Choose your favorite from a wonderful variety of warm, inviting earthtone colors and festive accent colors. Dark colors
will make the room seem cozier or create a dramatic effect, while light colors will open it up.
WOOD SPECIES SCALE
A WORLD CLASS SELECTION OF WOOD SPECIES
Page through this brochure to see the impressive collection of wood species available from Bruce. The natural wood
characteristics of our domestic and imported exotic wood species offer an abundance of eye-catching options that span
all price points from standard to premium.
COLOR VARIATION SCALE
CO LO R VA R I AT I O N
Wood is a natural material that features changes in color and tone. The board-to-board color variation is more pronounced
in some species, less in others. To evaluate this characteristic, a Color Variation Scale is provided for each Bruce species.
If you like the look of contrasting light and dark tones, select a species that offers the “most” color variation. If you prefer
consistent color from board to board, choose the “least” color variation.
CO LO R VA R I AT I O N O V E R T I M E
Wood is a natural material that reacts to ambient light. Selected exotic wood species will become darker and richer over
time as the natural color in the floor is exposed to sunlight. The most dramatic changes will occur within the first six
months following installation.
S U R FAC E T E X T U R E
From silky smooth to handscraped and distressed rustics, Bruce offers a variety of surface textures to accent your floor
with a custom, hand-crafted look. Find examples of Bruce rustic products in the American Originals and American
Vintage Collections (pages 23-30).

The gloss or radiance of your Bruce hardwood floor is available in a variety of luster levels. Low-gloss finishes
help hide the appearance of minor surface scratches and wear. The color and texture in the floor is more
pronounced in the standard Bruce finish that features a more radiant luster-level. Gloss levels do not indicate
product durability.

FILLED FACE:
A BEAUTIFUL
DIFFERENCE
A SLICE OF SOLID WOOD BEAUTY
Townsville Strip gives you the beauty of a solid wood floor in a
versatile, engineered construction you can install in any room, even the
Select Bruce®
basement. Unlike traditional engineered wood floors that are rotary
products, like
cut, Townsville Strip is sliced-cut. Sliced-cut wood delivers a cleaner,
Nelson™ Plank,
tighter grain pattern with the look and feel of the finest solid wood floors.
Townsville™ Strip
(shown here), and
Turlington™ Plank
(page 39), offer
the added beauty
of filled-face
technology.
Utilizing this
expertise, surface
imperfections
in the natural
wood grain
texture are
filled to create
a flawless,
silky-smooth
finish that
mirrors fine
furniture quality.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE FINISHES
D U R A - LU S T E R P LU S
A product of advanced floor finish technology, Dura-Luster Plus provides
outstanding durability and abrasion resistance. Featured on the majority of Bruce
hardwood floors, this urethane finish with aluminum oxide crystals delivers all the
performance needed to resist everyday traffic and wear, soil and spills.
D U R A - LU S T E R F I N I S H
A beautiful, crystal clear finish. Four individual layers of ultra-violet-cured urethane resins form a hard, traffic and wear-resistant
barrier that also protects the wood from soil and stains.
PERMION® FINISH
When normal wear is the exception, the Permion Finish provides an extra measure of durability. It features an extra-hard
urethane coating with aluminum-oxide technology to protect the floor in extreme traffic and wear conditions. It’s so tough, it
is approved for the extra demands of commercial application.
F LO O R F I N I S H G U I D E
The product guide on pages 45-46 details the specific finish system for every Bruce product.

Wood is a natural material containing distinctive differences in color and grain configurations. It is these differences, caused by nature,
that create the warmth, beauty and originality of each hardwood floor. The printed room scenes and color swatches in this brochure are intended
as a visual guide, not as an actual color or grain pattern representation of the flooring itself.
