ABSTRACT:
An interlocking prefabricated hardwood floor panel system in which multiple hardwood strips are secured together and attached to a substrate. The hardwood strips end at different locations such that a straight seam is not formed between adjacent floor panels. The substrate covers at least a portion of the floor panel and may extend past the edge of the hardwood strips such that hardwood strips from an adjacent floor panel can be secured to the substrate. Alternative embodiments provide hardwood strips that vary in color to allow designs to be inserted into a floor by using different woods or different stains. The substrate is secured to a target surface which may be the surface of the floor, a ceiling, or wall. The substrate can be attached to the target surface via any appropriate method, such as adhesive, nails, screws, etc.. A variety of flooring patterns can be used including hardwood strips, parquet squares, herringbone, etc.
