What to Consider When You Shop for Hardwood Floors?

Are you thinking about adding hardwood floors to your home or business?

Hardwood is a wonderful option for many spaces: it can last for centuries, can be refinished repeatedly, and since it’s available in hundreds of species, color, and finish combinations, it compliments every style scheme.

Still, it’s wise to commit to some thorough research long before your installation gets underway. Hardwood flooring represents a considerable investment, and it requires some special care. These floors also need to be kept reasonably dry, lest they become warped or buckled.

What’s the Difference Between Solid and Engineered Hardwood?

There are two different hardwood flooring options available: solid and engineered.

• Solid hardwood is the more traditional option, and it features a uniform construction. Planks are made from single strips of wood and nothing else. The planks are usually thick enough for multiple refinishing. When you refinish a solid hardwood floor, you can also change the look of your floors by changing the finish to something lighter or darker.

• Engineered hardwood has a special layered construction making it more dimensionally stable, so it can be installed below, on, or above ground. The surfaces look the same since the top layer of engineered flooring is a piece of premium wood. It resists wood’s natural tendency to expand and contract due to changes in humidity. Depending on how thick the hardwood veneer layer is, it might be able to be refinished a few times. Places in your home with heavy traffic are great locations for engineered hardwood.

Where Can You Install Hardwood?

A hardwood floor should last for years in your home when properly installed and taken care of.

Hardwood is well known for being durable and able to handle life’s little mishaps. Just make sure you follow the care instructions provided by the manufacturer and your warranty. Keep your hardwood floors away from areas with high moisture and humidity. Be sure to regularly clean them so they not only look better but can maintain their luster and sheen.

We recommend choosing hardwood flooring for bedrooms, family rooms, and other areas where moisture and heavy foot traffic won’t be issues.
