Hardwood flooring selection guide


It’s not always easy to figure out exactly which wood flooring will work best for your home, which is why we have a quick guide for you. Let's find out more about this flooring line's available characteristics and how they can work to your great advantage.

Ensuring the perfect wood flooring

One of the most important places to start with a hardwood flooring selection is considering your in-home activity levels. You’ll have a wide selection of species to choose from, ranging from very soft to extremely hard, and the busier home, the harder the selected species should be.

You’ll also have the option to choose between solid and engineered materials. Engineered wood can be installed in below-grade spaces, so it’s a great alternative to solid wood in basement rooms.

Once you’ve settled on a material that won’t wear out prematurely, you can focus on the appearance of your floors. Personalization is easy, with a wide variety of stain colors, from clear coat to ebony black and everything in between, an outstanding selection of finish types, and installation methods that can change everything about even the most mundane materials.

It's important to remember that an excellent finish, such as distressed or vintage, can work to protect you from scratches and scuffs. If you want to discuss even more facts about selecting the perfect wood flooring, visit us today.
