Current promotion applies to Bruce Dundee hardwood including installation across both formats.
Bruce is one of the most consistently recognised names in the hardwood flooring industry — not a brand that appeared recently, but one that has been a standard choice for homeowners across the country for genuine wood flooring from a proven range.
Real wood that brings natural depth, warmth underfoot, and the kind of character that no vinyl or laminate product fully replicates. The colours have been tested in real homes across a wide range of interior directions.
From pale naturals through classic amber-oak tones to deep espresso finishes. Both the plank and strip formats share the same colour range, so the format choice does not limit the colour direction.
The 3¼-inch plank and the 2¼-inch strip give homeowners a meaningful choice that affects how the room looks and feels — not just an arbitrary size option.
The difference between plank and strip formats goes beyond simple aesthetics. The board width affects how the room reads once the floor is fully installed — and the right choice depends on the room, its size, and the overall interior direction of the home.
More natural wood grain visible across the face of each board. Fewer seam lines running across the room. The floor reads as more open and expansive — the eye travels across the surface with fewer interruptions.
Gives the floor a more contemporary and generous feel that suits open-plan living spaces and rooms with decent square footage particularly well.
Tighter, more traditional hardwood appearance. The seam pattern connects with the classic American hardwood floor look that has defined quality homes for generations.
In smaller rooms the narrower strip keeps the scale of the floor proportionate. In homes with traditional trim and period-influenced interiors, the strip format feels more in keeping with the character of the property.
Best for: Smaller Rooms · Traditional & Period-Style Homes · Classic Interiors

Samples from both plank and strip formats are brought directly to your property during the free in-home consultation — so decisions are made under real room lighting, not showroom conditions.
Bruce Dundee works best in rooms where the floor is highly visible and sees regular but not extreme daily use. These are the spaces where a genuine wood floor makes the biggest difference to how the room looks and feels.
Start with the size of the room and the style of the home. In larger rooms with generous square footage and contemporary or transitional interiors, the 3¼-inch plank tends to feel more proportionate and more current. The wider board suits the scale of the space.
In smaller rooms, rooms with classic architectural details, or homes with a traditional interior direction, the 2¼-inch strip usually fits better. The narrower board keeps the floor in proportion with the room and connects more naturally with the style of the property.
Reviewing both options in the actual room during the free in-home consultation is the most reliable way to make this decision. What looks right on a screen rarely tells the full story once the floor is covering the whole room.
Rather than asking homeowners to visit a showroom and try to imagine how a small sample will look across a full floor, APS brings the consultation to the home. Both plank and strip samples in the full colour range can be reviewed in the actual room being updated.
Real lighting, real wall colour, real furniture, and real room proportions all factor into the decision when it happens on-site. The same colour in Bruce Dundee can read quite differently in a south-facing room with strong natural light compared to a north-facing room with more muted conditions.
Making the decision in the right environment removes a significant amount of guesswork and produces a more confident final choice.
Hardwood is one of the few flooring categories where poor installation is immediately and permanently visible. Gaps between boards, boards that are not properly secured, misaligned seams, rough transitions at doorways, and weak finishing at the room edges are all problems that show up from the first day and do not improve over time.
A well-chosen colour and format in Bruce Dundee hardwood still produces a poor result if the installation is handled without care. APS treats installation as part of the project from the beginning — not as a separate service added at the end. The goal is a finished floor that looks right, sits flat, and performs properly under daily residential use for years after the project is complete.

“We went with the Dundee Plank in Gunstock for the living room and dining room. The APS team brought samples to the house and the decision was easy once we saw it in the actual room. The installation was clean and the floor looks exactly right. Really glad we chose real hardwood.”
“The promotion made real hardwood affordable in a way I did not expect. We did the hallway, home office, and the main bedroom with the strip format in Saddle. The narrower board suits the older style of the house perfectly. Installation was done the next day.”

Living rooms, dining rooms, hallways, entryways, and home offices are the most common and most effective rooms for Bruce Dundee installation across both formats.
Consider the size and style of the room. Larger and more contemporary spaces tend to suit the wider 3¼-inch plank. Smaller rooms and traditional or period-influenced homes usually fit better with the 2¼-inch strip.
