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.
