Hardwood Flooring FAQ's
What are the advantages of hardwood flooring over other flooring options?
Hardwood flooring offers several advantages, including durability, longevity, timeless aesthetic appeal, easy maintenance, and the ability to be refinished multiple times. It also adds value to your home.
How do I choose the right hardwood species for my home?
The choice of hardwood species depends on your style preferences, budget, and the level of traffic in the area. For high-traffic areas, consider harder woods like oak or maple. Softer woods like cherry or pine are better suited for lower-traffic spaces.
What's the difference between solid hardwood and engineered hardwood flooring?
Solid hardwood consists of one solid piece of wood and is typically thicker, allowing for multiple refinishing. Engineered hardwood consists of layers of wood veneer over a plywood base, making it more dimensionally stable and suitable for areas with moisture fluctuations.
How do I maintain and clean hardwood floors?
Regular sweeping or vacuuming with a soft-bristle attachment, along with damp mopping using a hardwood floor cleaner, is recommended. Avoid excessive water and abrasive cleaning materials. Felt pads under furniture legs can prevent scratches.
Can hardwood floors be installed in all areas of the home?
Hardwood floors can be installed in most areas of the home, but it's important to consider factors like moisture levels. Solid hardwood is less suitable for basements and bathrooms due to moisture concerns, while engineered hardwood is more versatile and can be installed in a wider range of environments.
