Garrison
Garrison, also called The Garrison Collection, makes engineered hardwood flooring. Many of its collections are European Oak, sold in wide planks, for example the Allora 9-1/2" and Beverly Hills collections. The brand also makes SPC and WPC vinyl flooring and laminate. If you have seen a Garrison floor online, bring the collection or color name with you, and we will help you find it on the racks or talk through similar options.
Galleher
Galleher, now operating as GalleherDuffy, is a flooring distributor. It supplies hardwood, waterproof vinyl and laminate, along with the installation materials that go under and around a finished floor. Through Galleher we can show you a wider range of hardwood products than one manufacturer offers alone.
Hennessy Wood
Hennessy Wood Floors is based in Anaheim and distributes engineered hardwood. The company says its products carry FSC chain-of-custody certification and are CARB compliant. In our showroom you can see Hennessy displays, including the Supreme Series, and take full-size planks home to check against your cabinets and light. For more on this line, see our Hennessy Wood page and our post on buying Hennessy Wood flooring in Orange County.
Solid or engineered?
Most of the hardwood these brands offer is engineered: a real wood top layer bonded over a layered core. Engineered planks are often chosen for concrete slab floors and upstairs rooms, which are common in Anaheim homes. Solid hardwood is milled from one piece of wood. Which one suits your home depends on the subfloor, the room and how you use it. Our hardwood flooring page covers what to weigh, and our post Is engineered hardwood real wood? explains how engineered planks are built.
How to compare brands in person
- Bring a name or a photo. A collection name, a color name, or a photo of a floor you liked is enough to start.
- Look at full-size planks. Compare Garrison, Galleher and Hennessy Wood side by side on the racks, not from a small chip.
- Check them at home. Take planks with you and look at them against your cabinets, in the light of the room.
- Ask about installation. The subfloor, a concrete moisture test and the install method all change which product fits.
We install the hardwood we sell, from subfloor prep through trim and cleanup. See flooring installation for how a project runs.
