New Hardwood Floors

Installation of the new maple hardwood floor planks, milled in Wisconsin, began in July. Crews from Duanes Floor Service began the multi-week installation process. Before the hardwood flooring was laid, the concrete subfloor was leveled and a protective underlayment was installed.

The new floor is being installed in two phases. The first half of the nave is currently being completed, while the second half will be installed after the scaffolding is moved in September.

The next steps include sanding the entire floor to create a smooth, uniform surface. Once sanding is complete, crews will cut openings for the ventilation ducts and apply the stain and protective finish.
