Hardwood flooring for your needed rooms

If you're ready to start researching hardwood flooring, you might be surprised to find that it is a perfect choice for many rooms in your home. Besides the many benefits it has always offered, there are more now than ever, thanks to technological advances. Now is a great time to dive into the details, so let's do that now.

Facts about hardwood flooring

Solid hardwood flooring is an excellent choice for spaces where an elegant and timeless appearance is needed and that offers hard-wearing durability, even with pets or children in the home. It provides many options for personalization, including stain, species, and finish types of your choice and the option to refinish the materials once wear begins to show. The installation process can be time-consuming because of the precision and special tools required to finish the task, but it is certainly time well-spent.

Engineered wood flooring offers a backing of plywood layers, laid perpendicularly to one another, topped with natural wood veneer. Just like solid wood, you can choose species, stain, and finish options, but you may have fewer choices in one or more of these areas. Also, just like solid wood, you can refinish these floors, but the number of times possible depends on the thickness of the natural wood veneer.

Another option you have with both these materials is finished or unfinished surfaces. Finished surfaces are finished at the point of manufacture and can be much harder than surfaces finished on site. However, unfinished or site-finished materials offer more options for stain color. If you have specific décor matching requirements and want a particular color, unfinished materials are often the best choice.
