Lauzon Distinctive Hardwood Flooring, Inc. was founded in 1985 and is based in Papineauville, Canada. In the early years it concentrated solely on the manufacture of premium hardwood flooring. Lauzon is reputed to be a leader in the premium hardwood flooring industry with its commitment to environmentally–friendly, state–of–the–art flooring products. Lauzon has been converting wood waste to energy for almost 15 years. The company has grown to over 10 plants employing 1100 people.

All Lauzon's hardwood products are treated with a finish of 8 coats of a special Polynium and Titanium polymerized surface coating that substantially enhances the wear–resistance of the hardwood flooring. This innovation is free of formaldehyde, VOCs and solvents. The company offers a 25 year warranty on all its flooring products.

In 1999 the company diversified into engineered hardwood flooring using an exclusive milling process for maximum durability. In 2002 the company developed a Sunshield treatment that slowed the rate of yellowing of hardwood floors. With these treatments, the Lauzon quickly made a name for themselves as a leader in the flooring industry with products that were durable and wear–resistant with increased color integrity.

Lauzon's Classics Collection is 3/4" prefinished hardwood flooring that is available in three unique looks and a wide variety of colors.

The Next Step Collection is fusion engineered flooring that combines the elegance of sawn hardwood with the precision of milled technology. It is easier to install than traditional engineered hardwood and has greater stability especially in humid conditions. Engineered wood of this collection can be glued, nailed, stapled or retained as a floating floor.
