How to Style Your Hardwood Floor

Hardwood flooring styles come in a wide range of options, distinguished by features like:

• Graining
• Stain
• Natural Hues
• Matte Finish
• Glossy Finish
• Satin Finish
• Whitewashing
• Knots
• Smooth Textures
• Distressed Textures
• Beveled Edges
• Plank Widths
• Plank Lengths

For example, modern wood floors are associated with fewer knots and less graining. Traditional hardwood styles are characterized by more graining, knots, and rustic features in the wood.

Which Tree Species Are Used in Hardwood Floors?

Each hardwood that is made into flooring comes from a species of tree. The tree species will determine many of the characteristics in the wood, from hardness to natural color. Some of the most popular hardwood species include:

• White Oak
• Red Oak
• Birch
• Maple
• Hickory
• Cherry
• Pine

Whether you want natural oak floors in your bedroom or living room, or a beautiful dark cherry home office, we have wood flooring options that you’ll love.

Is Solid Hardwood Better Than Engineered Hardwood?

Solid hardwood flooring is different from engineered hardwood in several ways.

• Solid hardwood flooring planks are milled directly from trees into one solid piece. It can be refinished multiple times throughout its lifetime but has limitations and can’t be used in areas with heavy moisture.
• Engineered hardwood flooring is made from genuine wood veneers that are laid cross-grained over composite wood layers below to increase stability. Your engineered hardwood is better at dealing with high traffic areas and moisture thanks to its specialized construction. Generally, engineered hardwood cannot be refinished as many times as solid hardwood, but you can find higher quality products that will last for just as long.

Where Can Hardwood Floors Be Installed?

Both solid and engineered hardwood floors can be installed in any on-grade room with little moisture, such as living rooms, bedrooms, and offices. Engineered hardwood floors can also be installed both above and below-grade, in basements and attics. Engineered hardwood also resists wear and traffic, so areas like stairs, hallways, and playrooms are ideal. We also carry 100% waterproof hardwood flooring, which has a vinyl sublayer below its genuine hardwood surface and can be installed in kitchens and bathrooms without worry.
