Does the width of hardwood floors matter?

The truth is the width of your hardwood flooring is primarily a personal choice. There are no specific right or wrong options, so you are free to choose a width that works for your particular requirements.

When hardwood flooring width matters

The standard width for wood floors is about 2¼ inches, with much wider widths available, with some manufacturers offering boards that are twelve inches wide. This is an excellent benefit for your décor because the option is trending, but it can also save you time and money on high-end hardwood pieces because you won’t need nearly as many of them.

Wide planks can also create the perfect rustic décor match while also increasing the value of your home. And though you might think these sizes can make your space look smaller, just the opposite is true.

Wide planks can make spaces appear even larger than they already are, and the room gives you fewer visual interruptions in the natural grain pattern visual it helps to create. Don't forget that these options offer easy maintenance requirements as well, so be sure to stop by and see the many choices you have access to when you visit our showroom.
