You should plan on where you want to install your hardwood first before you choose the type of hardwood you want. For example, solid hardwood should only be installed in rooms that are cool, dry and have low traffic like bedrooms, living rooms and dining rooms. The layered construction of engineered hardwood allows it to be installed in kitchens, hallways and even basements. So long as you care for your hardwood floors and do not continuously beat on them, they will last a long time in your home. No matter the type of hardwood, you should avoid installing it in kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms because of the amount of heat and moisture.
You’ll need to choose a hardwood style that fits into your home design. There are traditional, rustic, and even exotic (such as cork and bamboo) styles available, and each seems to add its own unique character to your setting. Rest assured that our design experts will help make sure that your new floor accommodates your desired design.
Hardwood not only comes in different plank sizes and styles, but it is also available in different species. The different hardwood options include maple, cherry, oak, and birch, among others. Each wood option offers unique shades and character, and they also feature different strength levels and wear resistance. For unique looks, be sure to consider wood flooring types like bamboo and cork. Bamboo has a light hue and sophisticated patterns of dark markings; while cork has a more natural and unique look.
Hardwood is available in solid and engineered constructions. Solid hardwood features a uniform construction, as the planks are made from single strips of real wood. Engineered hardwood flooring, however, is made from different layers of composite wood that are pressed together. Each plank has a thin veneer of real wood at the surface, which is why solid and engineered hardwood floors like the same from above. Engineered hardwood is more dimensionally stable than solid hardwood, so it can be installed below, on, or above ground. If you have an active household with children and pets running around, engineered planks are your best option if you are looking for a long-lasting durable floor.
