See all engineered hardwoodHow it works
Test. Plan. Quote.
The samples are the start of the project, not the end of the errand.
-
Test at home
Lay each sample against your cabinets, trim and wall colour, in morning and evening light. Real wood shifts with the light more than any photo shows.
-
Plan with an expert
Your flooring expert helps you measure, work out quantities and choose underlay, mouldings and transitions.
-
Get a complete quote
One quote covering the floor, the trims and delivery - so there are no surprises later.
A real person picks up where the samples leave off
Every sample order is assigned a flooring expert who knows these hardwood lines. They help you get from five pieces of oak on your floor to a complete, costed project.
-
Comparing your samples
Talk through grain, colour variation and finish against how the room is actually used.
-
Measuring your space
Work out what to measure and how, so the quantity is right the first time.
-
Quantities and waste
Calculate coverage including the overage your installer will need. Wide planks change the number.
-
Underlay and trims
Match underlayment, mouldings and transitions to the hardwood you chose.
-
A complete quote
One written quote covering the floor, the extras and delivery.
-
Delivery coordination
Plan the delivery around your install date, site access and acclimation time.
Your expert works with you by phone and email. We don't offer in-home design visits.
What hardwood customers say
★★★★★
I received a sample piece of wood and everything was perfect about the sample. The thickness, sturdiness, the color. I would buy from BuildDirect.
Bobbi H. · Yotpo verified buyer · Southport · January 2026 ★★★★★
Sent the sample immediately and now just waiting to finish the move to order and install. The sample is perfect and extremely high quality!!!!
Susan G. · Yotpo verified buyer · Westport · May 2026 ★★★★★
I love many of the samples we received from Build Direct. We are narrowing down our choices! The sales team goes above and beyond to provide service. If your considering any of the products, I would say definitely go for it.

Questions before you order
Are the samples really free?
Yes. You can choose five engineered hardwood samples at no cost.
How fast do samples arrive?
Samples ship 2nd day air.
What happens after I order samples?
We assign you a flooring expert. They'll get in touch to help you compare what you received, work out quantities and put together a complete quote. There's no obligation to order.
Which of these floors are waterproof?
Celestial is our waterproof rigid-core engineered hardwood. The other lines on this page are traditional tongue-and-groove engineered oak. Kitchens, basements and bathrooms each have different needs, so tell your expert which rooms you're planning and they'll steer you to the right floor.
Can I get more than five samples?
Five is the free allowance. Your expert can arrange more, and larger XL samples are available to buy on several of these lines if you want to see a bigger piece of the grain.
Do you help with installation?
We don't install, but your expert will help you plan quantities, underlay, trims and delivery timing so your installer has what they need.
