Our Story

Edelweiss Wood Flooring was born in Switzerland in 1995 as a dream of Reto & Marie Gamweger.  Reto was a trained furniture maker and Marie an American transplant in Zurich. They discovered wide plank engineered flooring in Europe and they saw an opportunity to introduce it in the United States where solid “sand and finish” wood flooring was used exclusively.  We consider ourselves pioneers in engineered flooring and discovered flooring manufacturers that use the most advanced technologies to produce floors that are both high quality and beautiful.  Twenty years later our experienced team is still sharing our love for timeless wood flooring of all types. In 2019 long time partner, John Michael Tealdi and his wife Christine purchased the business from Reto and Marie

Over the years, we have worked with visionaries/artists like Schotten-Hansen who have created some of the most beautiful engineered flooring, stair details and custom millwork in the wood flooring world. In 2015, we developed and launched our EcoPlank line of flooring focused on high quality engineered, European White Oak floors that are sustainably harvested and as always don’t have V.O.C’s in the manufacture or finish. In 2019 we created our Textured line of the finest solid American hardwoods. We collaborated with a small family mill that mills the wood for our climate and custom crafts uniquely textured floors designed by you! Allow our twenty years of experience and range of products to find your beautiful floors for discerning tastes of almost any budget.  

Remember what Reto always says “Everyone deserves beautiful wood floors!”
