The NWFA’s Wood Floor of the Year (WFOY) awards were developed to encourage and recognize innovative craftsmanship and design in wood flooring installations. Since the program began in 1990, nearly 350 awards have been presented to companies with winning projects throughout the world.
The 2025 WFOY winners were recognized for their talent during the NWFA Wood Flooring Expo in Charlotte, North Carolina. Winning entries were chosen by a panel of judges selected for their industry design and knowledge. All entries in the competition featured installations completed between January 2024 and January 2025.
As in previous years, NWFA members from across the globe voted online for their favorite floor to determine the Members’ Choice award. This process gave a chance for NWFA members to evaluate all of the entries and make their decision based on technical difficulty, quality of installation, and overall appearance.
This year, the honor went to Grain Design Flooring based in Florence, Kentucky.
Read on to learn more about that floor, the other category winners, and to see a showcase of all projects entered into the contest.
