December 24, 2020

Did you know that hardwood flooring has been around for centuries?

Do you know why it’s the most popular choice for flooring? No one can say for sure but one reason is because it never goes out of style. And thanks to hardwood floor refinishing, it has longevity as well.

With the large variety of hardwoods and hardwood flooring, there’s a type that works for just about everyone.

Considering hardwood floor for your home? Keep reading to learn how to decide which type of hardwood flooring will work best for you.

What Qualities Do You Need in Your Flooring?

While hardwood flooring is known for its durability, think about how you need it to function in your home. Do you need it to be resistant to moisture? Do you have young kids who spill things?

Do you want something that’s easy to clean and won’t show every speck of dust and hair?

Do you want to be able to use a hardwood vacuum instead of a dust mop?

Are you up for the task of someday possibly having to refinish your floors?

These are the things you need to consider before committing to a certain type of hardwood flooring.

What is Your Style?

Are you going for a farmhouse look? How about contemporary or modern design? Or do you just want something classic? Whatever your design style, you’ll want to choose a type of hardwood to compliment it.

From the color to the species to the grain, you have many choices. Do you want solid hardwood or engineered wood?

Solid hardwood offers you the opportunity to refinish the flooring several times so if you think you are in your forever home, this is something to consider.

What Species of Wood Appeals to You?

Other than durability, different species of wood vary in looks too. What type of wood do you like? What type fits with the style of your home?

Oak

This is a very popular choice because of its durability and wide wood grain. It takes well to several different stains making it versatile.

Cherry

Cherry flooring has a reddish tint and a shinier finish than other hardwoods. It’s extremely durable and gives a home a high-end look.

Ash

Mainly used to make furniture, it also is a good choice for flooring. If you’re looking for a dark grain on a light background, Black Ash delivers. White Ash has a more subtle grain if that’s more to your liking.
