Ten Things You May Not Know About Selecting
Hardwood Flooring
Red Oak is not the only choice
-
If you want your home to look like everyone
else’s, this is a great choice. If you want your
home to be unique try hickory, cherry, walnut,
white oak, maple or many others.
2 ¼ inch is not the only size available -
If all you ask for is a hardwood floor – you are going to get
a 2 ¼ inch red oak floor. Why? It is the most
common, most produced, most stocked, cheapest
option available. You can buy sizes in 3"
through 12". You can put down a single width for
a uniform look or multiple widths for a more
random look. Typical random flooring patterns
are 3"-4"-5", 3"-5", 4"-5"-6". Have fun! Make
your home unique! The wider the floor the more
seasonal separations between the flooring planks
can occur.
Import Species don’t support jobs in the United
States -
While there are vast amounts of imported species
available, there are fantastic, interesting
species of flooring available.
Colors can be cool – but mother nature is hard
to beat -
Some species of flooring are so beautiful in
their natural color, they do not require any
added color. Look up hickory, cherry or walnut
flooring on the Internet and you will see what I
mean.
Not all flooring is smooth – texture is popular
-
Hardwood flooring does not have to be smooth.
Many hardwoods are hand scraped, distressed and
reclaimed flooring. These floors have a classic
look and add great value to upscale homes. They
do not show much wear or scratches since they
have a great deal of character interest to draw
attention to different parts of the floor.
In a basement use engineered flooring -
Most people use engineered flooring to glue down
to concrete or in higher moisture areas. This
flooring has a thin layer of hardwood with a
cross banded plywood base. This makes the
flooring more stable and does not require
nailing like a solid hardwood floor.
Laminate flooring is not Hardwood flooring -
A great steak does not taste the same as a picture of a great
steak. If you want the beauty and warmth of
hardwood flooring in your home – buy the real
thing, not a cheap imitation.
