Make the most of your hardwood flooring options

 
There are a variety of hardwood species available to choose from when picking the perfect material. These range in hardness, so the busier your lifestyle, the harder the wood species should be. This not only helps resist dents and dings but maintains the beauty of your flooring longer.

Sealing your floors is an incredibly important step, and we’ll make sure you choose the best product for your flooring needs. With a variety of sealants to choose from, you’ll find the characteristics vary, with some offering more advantages for your particular needs than others. Once you understand the basics, you’ll have no trouble choosing the one that suits your floors best.

Many homeowners need flooring for their whole home, which can include below-grade spaces such as basements. While solid flooring cannot be installed in this space, engineered wood flooring is a perfect alternative. It doesn’t react adversely to dampness, humidity, moisture, or temperature changes, so it’s right at home in these lower-level spaces.

The installation process for these floors can take some time, especially if you choose site-finished wood. This option takes longer to install but offers the most comprehensive stain color availability. Prefinished materials are installed much more quickly, but the possibilities for stain color are greatly diminished, so choose according to your own needs.
