The truth about hardwood flooring

 
You may have heard that hardwood flooring offers one of the most extended lifespans in the flooring industry. And you might also have heard that you can even personalize your options for a look that is yours alone. Both of these statements are true, but there's so much more to wood flooring. We want to tell you more about them and why you might benefit from their installation, so read along to find more.
 

Wood flooring and you

 
The most crucial aspect of your wood floors will be selecting options that meet your specific needs. For instance, if your household is hectic, you'll need a hard species, an excellent sealant, and a finish type that works hard for you, even if you have children or pets. Choosing durable options for the busy home helps your flooring reach its maximum lifespan potential, giving you more than 100 years when properly maintained, which means you may never have to shop for flooring again.
 
 
 
 
 
Beautiful visual options, including stain color and finish, help you match your existing décor with ease. Stain colors range from very light to ebony black and everything in between, so you won't miss an opportunity for the perfect match. Be sure to ask about both site-finished and prefinished materials, as site-finished wood gives you far more stain color options, but prefinished flooring offers a quick and easy installation.

 
Installing these floors does take a bit more time than other materials might require, but it's a process that's well worth the wait. The acclimation process is the first step, ensuring a proper humidity ratio between your home and your new flooring. During the actual installation, the expertise of our installers will be a welcomed opportunity. They have training, experience, and all the most up to date tools for a perfect installation for any wood flooring material, so be sure to contact us to get your flooring project started right away.
