Hardwood flooring offers a stunning elegance and sophistication, the ability to easily match your decor, and a lifespan that means you won’t soon be replacing your flooring. These are just a few of the benefits that make this material worthwhile for every homeowner, and one that covers a great number of personal requirements as well. They’re durable, stand up well under any amount of foot traffic, and can truly turn your flooring dream into a reality. It’s worth your while to consider all the facts about this floor covering.

One of the most important options you’ll have in your search for the perfect hardwood flooring is which wood species to choose. Species are rated from softest to hardest, and the better you match the wood to the level of traffic in your home, the better it will perform and the longer it will last. For instance, if you choose a soft wood for a home with very high levels of foot traffic, you may find that it wears far more quickly than it should.
You’re probably also familiar with the option to choose a perfect stain color, which helps to match decor and interior design. These options and the number of color choices available to you will be largely dependent upon whether you choose site-finished or prefinished materials. Your flooring specialist can help with all the details about the difference between the two.
A good finish is the best way to add personality to your floors, and many homeowners choose the ever-popular high gloss finish for theirs. There are many other options, however, and they can be very practical in addition to their good looks. Hand scraped, vintage, and distressed finishes are a good example of finishes that look amazing but also work to hide signs of everyday wear.
