Town Centre high-rises in Scarborough sit on concrete. Houses in Agincourt, Guildwood, and the Bluffs sit on plywood. Iberian Oak straight plank is the Scarborough renovation on file. Glue-down or floating is the tower method, and nail-down or glue-down is the house method. Samples are at AA Floors, 524 Evans Ave, or we deliver boards. 3/4 inch European white oak, stain match when you order, supply from $4/sq ft.
Condominium buildings near Scarborough Town Centre and along the corridor sit on concrete. Glue-down or floating needs board approvals, acoustic packages when required, a freight-elevator booking, and a moisture test before adhesive. A Town Centre suite on this European white oak line uses glue-down after that test. 7½ inch planks suit the tighter suites. Condo installation →
Agincourt, Guildwood, and the Bluffs
Detached and semi-detached houses sit on plywood. Nail-down or glue-down is the house method, with driveway staging, and stairs and kitchens often share the renovation. Many of these jobs are house-led on plywood. A Guildwood house often lands on 9¼ inch Grade ABC character oak. 9¼ and 10¼ inch planks suit open houses with longer sightlines. Nail-down →
Seasonal RH in Scarborough tracks Toronto: winter forced-air heat often hits 20–30% indoors, unmanaged summers climb toward 60–70%, and the occupied target is 35–55%.
How does Town Centre concrete differ from houses in Agincourt, Guildwood, and the Bluffs?
Town Centre and corridor high-rises sit on concrete. Glue-down or floating needs board approvals, acoustic packages when required, and a freight-elevator booking. Houses in Agincourt, Guildwood, and the Bluffs sit on plywood, where nail-down or glue-down and driveway staging are the usual path. Many of those house jobs are house-led on plywood. A Guildwood house often lands on 9¼ inch Grade ABC character oak. A Town Centre suite on the same European white oak line uses glue-down after moisture testing.
How are 401 deliveries timed for freight elevators or driveway crews?
East-end traffic on the 401 and local arterials is planned into delivery windows so crates arrive when a freight elevator or a driveway crew is ready. Stairs and halls often set the critical path on house renovations.
Do Town Centre slabs get a moisture test before glue-down?
Yes. Moisture testing gates glue-down adhesive. Elevated readings mean remediation or a method change before the install is scheduled. Newer mid-rises are moisture-tested first, the same way a Town Centre slab is.

We reply within one business day. If the job includes install, the reply separates supply from the method and the subfloor. If you want samples, we send them on the real oak. If a site measure is needed, we book it from that reply.
