Mont-Royal Hardwoods' floors are made from natural materials. It is normal that 5% of the amount of hardwood flooring purchased is not used. It is also normal for wood exposed to the light to turn yellow, darken or change colour. The colour change can also occur in places where the floor is carpeted and/or covered by a rug and/or covered with other objects in one place for a long period of time.
