CDS Hardwood Floors
Commercial Hardwood Flooring in MD, VA & DC
Quick Answer
Commercial hardwood flooring uses high-durability species and commercial-grade finishes (Bona Traffic HD, Loba 2K Supra AT) engineered for high foot traffic in offices, restaurants, retail, hotels and event spaces.
CDS Hardwood Floors has completed work in landmark commercial spaces including DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, DC. Commercial requires a different playbook — more durable finishes, faster turnarounds, off-hours scheduling and compliance with facility protocols.
