Solid Hardwood flooring and its many options
There’s a lot more to picking solid hardwood floors than simply deciding, “I want wood floors.” The good news is, you don’t have to go through the steps alone. Our professional staff stands ready to assist you every step of the way. And the first step is choosing a high quality species that fits your needs.
The fact is, species range from very hard to very soft and everything in between. What works for one home may not work for yours, and vice versa. If your home has excessive traffic and activity levels, you will definitely have to go with the hardest species of your choice, while softer species are suited for less traffic. Most homeowners want overall continuity in their flooring, but you’re free to choose a different species for every room if you like.
After picking the perfect species, you can then choose the perfect stain color. Your options will vary, depending on whether you choose prefinished or site finished wood. Prefinished offers the availability of a much quicker installation. The site finished option, however, offers you a much wider variety of color options.
You’ll want to finish off your solid hardwood floors with the perfect finish. Many homeowners still prefer the waxed, glossy finish, but other finishes are gaining popularity. Some of them are even picked for their decorative element alone. Finishes such as distressed, vintage, and hand scraped offer a beautiful finished look, but can even add years to the life of your wood floors.
