What you should know about hardwood floors

The entire process of choosing the perfect hardwood flooring starts with picking a species that will perform well in your own home. That means it should be rated for the amount of activity and traffic that is ongoing in your home on a regular basis. Harder woods work best for busy areas, while softer wood performs fine in areas with little to no traffic. There are plenty of species to choose from, so you’ll be able to find exactly what you’re looking for in this flooring.

In addition to species, you’ll also get to pick your favorite stain color and finish style. For stain preferences, it’s important to know that site finished materials offers more choices than prefinished. It’s also true that some wood species hold stain better than others, while some, such as American Cherry, have their own beautiful colors you may not want to cover with any other than a clear glaze.

The finish you choose for your hardwood flooring is much more than a decorative element. It can even go a long way in protecting your floors from unwanted damage, and hide the signs of everyday wear and tear as well.
