What hardwood is and isn’t

 
One of the most important things to know about hardwood flooring is that it can never be installed below grade. On or above grade works fine for these installations, but basements, for example, are no place for this material. It’s also important to note that this floor covering should always be given ample time to acclimate to your own space. For most homes, this time frame is from 24 to 72 hours, based on the humidity levels present. Your flooring associate will be able to give you more pertinent information on this fact when you visit.

Types of hardwood

 
In the hardwood flooring category, you have two specific types of flooring. The solid option, which is one piece all the way through from top to bottom, and engineered flooring, which simply uses a veneer of the actual material. Both are real, and both look just as good, but certain characteristics are prominent in each. Where one doesn’t work, the other might be a good alternative. For the sake of maintaining a look of total continuity throughout your home, it might be worth discussing this before you leave.

You’ll love the fact that hardwood flooring, whether solid or engineered, can be refinished when signs of wear begin to show through. This process helps make your floors look brand new again, removing decades of use, and you’re even able to change stain color and finish type during the process if you prefer.

Solid hardwood flooring gives your home an elegant feel while offering a look that will never go out of style. We offer multiples styles to ensure you find the perfect fit.
