How To Style Your Hardwood Floor

Today's hardwood floor offerings are milled and finished using techniques that result in lower maintenance than in years past. That means it’s easier to attain the character you want for your home.

Hardwood is ever versatile. It sets a permanent tone throughout the home that is time-honored and true. From the warm, pale tones of Southern Yellow Pine to the deep, dark chocolate of Black Walnut, there are many species of hardwood to choose from.

 

What's the Difference Between Engineered Hardwood and Solid Hardwood?

Today’s homeowners can browse both solid and engineered hardwood flooring options.

• Solid hardwood is considered the traditional hardwood option. Planks are typically ¾” or 5/16” thick and can be refinished multiple times. Solid hardwood floors are sensitive to moisture and prone to expanding and contracting. It’s well suited for most areas of the home except for areas with a lot of moisture and basements.

 

• Engineered hardwood is made up of multiple layers. Its construction makes it sturdier and more stable. You can install engineered flooring on any level of your home and it's a good choice for busy households with pets. Some engineered wood floors can be refinished, while others aren’t designed to be.

• Space Out Cartons of Flooring to Ensure Airflow During Acclimation
