Why Choose Hardwood Floors?

 
Hardwood flooring is a superb investment in your home’s value. With its natural beauty, hardwood flooring creates a rich and elegant feel to your home that can last for generations. Naturally durable and tough, hardwoods are also a great investment, increasing market value when you want to sell your home. As a timeless extension of your home’s charm and warmth, hardwood never goes out of style.
 

Types of Hardwood Flooring

 

Hardwood flooring is versatile and can be used in many rooms of your home, blending with almost any architectural style.


Solid vs Engineered Hardwood Flooring

 

Both solid and engineered hardwood flooring are real wood. Engineered hardwood construction combines a premium hardwood surface layer with high-quality plywood or softwood layers, and is almost always prefinished. This type of construction offers stability, particularly in the popular wide plank styles. It can be installed in many different situations, doesn’t need sanding and finishing on-site, and uses our natural resources wisely. Some engineered hardwoods offer the same thick wear layer found on solid wood flooring.
 

Oak Flooring

 

Oak hardwood is the most popular choice of wood flooring. White oak, known for its durability, resilience, and versatility, is particularly popular. White oak looks lovely in natural tones, but also takes stain beautifully; it also responds well to surface techniques such as wire brushing and can come in wide widths, especially in engineered construction. Both red and white oak are sturdy hardwoods that hold up well in high-traffic areas like kitchens.

Maple Flooring

 
Maple’s light color and durability make it a popular choice for families. Maple’s buttery tones look beautiful in their natural state but also can be stained to compliment your interior design. Maple flooring can be quite rustic and dramatic when a character grade is used.
 

Hickory Flooring

 

Hickory hardwood flooring is the hardest North American wood species, making it extremely durable and long-lasting. It comes in an array of hues – from coffee to caramel, auburn to cinnamon – and does well in humid climates. Because hickory has a unique, active grain pattern and color range, it’s great for homeowners looking to add an antique or rustic touch to their home.


 

Walnut Flooring

 

Walnut is a soft hardwood that is known for its rich purple-brown color and dark swirling grains. Walnut is most often seen in stunning furniture and cabinetry; however, it also makes a beautiful hardwood floor option. For rooms with year-round sun, walnut’s low photosensitivity is a good choice.


 

Bamboo Flooring

 

Classic bamboo flooring creates a modern, clean look in a light natural tone or rich caramelized tone. Strand bamboo flooring is harder than oak and comes prefinished with a high-grade multi-step finish. Inspired strand-style bamboo is available wire brushed and in a wide range of tones from vanilla to dark gray. Luxurious long lengths make transitioning from one room to another seamless.

How to Select Hardwood Flooring

 

When thinking about your space, select a wood floor that complements the architecture of your space, your aesthetic, and your lifestyle. Do you have pets and kids? Consider what types of wood tones, color, and appearance you want your room to have. Do you want it light or dark? Rustic or calm?

 

There are also a variety of widths to consider. For traditional interiors, narrower wood flooring widths reflect what was most often installed. Wide planks look good in large spaces like great rooms, giving it an open, airy feel. You can also get creative with patterns like herringbone or chevron, which are gorgeous options for almost any wood floor.
