Hardwood Floors
 There are two basic types of hardwood floors, solid wood floors and engineered wood floors. Both are very beautiful and durable, but each has some limitations. Solid hardwood floors are usually installed during the initial construction of a home or commercial building and the types of solid hardwood available are much fewer than the engineered variety. They also have to be nailed down during installation, making sub-flooring a requirement if your base floor is concrete. If you like exotic hardwood floors, you may want to look into the engineered hardwood. Let’s take a look at the different types of hardwoods, how they are installed and some of the great choices out there to make your home more beautiful.
Hardwood Floors Durability ...Both solid and engineered hardwoods are among the longest lasting flooring options and, with proper care may never need replacement. However, hardwood is susceptible to scratching, especially in high traffic areas, or in households with children or pets. Different types of wood are more durable than others. If you want a floor that stands up to heavy use, choose a species equal to or harder than oak, such as maple, Brazilian cherry, or ash. Another option is to choose a floor with a distressed visual that simulates an aged look, or a hand scraped product. We will help you to decide which type of hardwood floor is best for your home by supplying you with facts and information.
Hardwood Care & Maintenance...Waxing, once a necessary evil for wood floor owners, is not necessary on floors with a polyurethane finish. Simply sweep and touch up periodically with a no-wax floor cleaner, in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
