The National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA) has announced the winners of its 2025 Wood Floor of the Year Awards. The awards were developed to encourage and recognize innovative craftsmanship and design in wood flooring installations. Since the program began in 1990, more than 300 awards have been presented. Winning entries were selected by a panel of judges chosen for their expertise in design and the industry.
As in previous years, NWFA members from across the globe voted online for their favorite floor to determine the association’s highest award – Members’ Choice. This process allowed NWFA members to evaluate entries based on technical difficulty, quality of installation and overall appearance.
