What you really should know about hardwood
Once you decide on a hardwood species that best fits your needs, you can move on to choices that will affect the personality of your flooring such as stain color, sealant, finish type, and more. Each of these options will add benefits of their own, from stunning good looks to functionality.
You must remember that solid hardwood can never be installed in rooms such as basements, or any other space that is below grade. For these spaces, engineered wood floors make an excellent alternative. It’s still real wood, but with many more benefits, thanks to a different form of manufacture.
They must also be acclimated, with the time frame for the procedure varying from home to home.The idea is to make sure the new flooring has the same humidity levels as the rest of your home to avoid cracking, warping, or splitting. When you visit our hardwood flooring store, one of our associates will be happy to explain this process in much more detail.

Hardwood is an investment
Many homeowners pass over solid wood floors because of the extra upfront cost of the materials and installation. However, when considered in relation to the long lifespan and the many benefits this floor covering has to offer, we suggest that it just might be worth it after all.
Spending a little more makes a lot more sense when you consider that your floors could last over a hundred years if properly cared for. Other floor coverings have to be replaced about every twenty to fifty years. So you’re getting at least half again as much life out of wood floors as you would another material.
Another benefit that makes hardwood a great option is the ability to have it refinished rather than replaced. When most floorings show great amounts of wear and tear including scratches, dings, gouges and more, they usually have to be replaced. With wood flooring, however, all you need to do it call us. After the refinishing process, your floors will look just like brand new again.
When choosing the species of wood for your floors, it’s important to keep in mind the expected traffic flow in your home. In most cases, the higher the traffic amount, the harder and denser the species should be. Oak would be a great domestic species for high traffic areas such as living room and kitchens. On the other hand, you would probably get away with softer woods for your bedroom or study.
Keep in mind, solid hardwood should never be placed in the basement.
