Solid hardwood is milled from solid lumber and
works well in almost any room. This type of wood flooring will last for years to come and can be sanded and refinished numerous times to maintain its natural beauty.
Engineered wood flooring combines a thin-but-tough real hardwood surface with underlying multiple layers of plywood or fireboard. Its laminated layers make it remarkably strong and more resistant to moisture. As a result, it can be used in below, on, or above grade locations, basements.
The species of wood you choose will depend
largely on the style of your room and personal
preference. Oak, hard maple and birch are
common in most homes, but all wood species
are suitable for everyday use. Ultimately, you
should try to choose your wood flooring by its
look and appearance.
Alternative flooring options are becoming more and more popular. There are several options that are eco-friendly, renewable, and sustainable, one of which is bamboo! Bamboo floors are beautiful, but it does require special care. Refinishing bamboo is a delicate process that should be left to the pros.
