Choosing hardwood flooring can change everything

For homeowners who are searching for a truly timeless and elegant floor covering, hardwood flooring is certainly worth your consideration. It offers an amazing lifespan, extreme durability, and an appearance that not only matches your décor but weather trend change after trend change. You'll be amazed at the difference in your home once these floors are in place. The durability you’ll find in these materials is exceptional and withstands wear and daily traffic with ease. With the proper choices and options, you can create a floor covering that will last decades before you’ll ever need to refinish it. With a lifespan of up to 100 years or more, you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy these benefits.

The appearance of your wood floors starts just as the durability does: with a great species. This option allows you to choose from a variety of natural colorations and grain patterns, but also provides excellent protection against wear when you choose the harder species. For busy and active households, the harder the wood, the better.

Other options available to you include your choice of sealant, stain color, and finish type. It’s important to note that you have more stain color options in site-finished materials than with prefinished ones. However, if you choose this option, you'll also experience a longer installation time. Working with one of our design specialists is a great way to figure out which of these will work best for you.

When choosing an excellent finish type, you’ll once again reap double benefits. On the one hand, it adds unique character and personalization to your décor. On the other, it can serve as a way to mask daily wear. For this added protection, be sure to consider finishes such as vintage, distressed, or hand scraped.
