You can’t go wrong with hardwood flooring. It adds natural warmth and radiant beauty to your space, and practical benefits. Hardwood planks are long-lasting and can stay beautiful for decades. Natural wood is hypoallergenic, easy to clean, and raises your home’s resale value. Modern hardwood floors are resistant to abrasions, dents, and stains.

Hardwood Flooring: Your Species Specifics

As you begin shopping for hardwood flooring, consider is what you’d prefer. There’s a variety of domestic and exotic species available today, including:

• Mahogany
• Cherry
• Birch
• Maple
• Hickory
• Oak

Each species has a unique shade, grain patterns, and hardness. These features are determined by the age when the tree was harvested. If you prefer responsibly sourced hardwood floor, we offer products that are certified for coming from sustainably managed forests.

Hardwood Floors For Every Style

There’s an eclectic range of hardwood flooring options available and we can help you find a style that fits your vision. Hardwood flooring is distinguished by various:

• Textures
• Colors
• Finishes
• Gloss Levels
• Plank Lengths
• Plank Widths

You'll find dark wood colors with weathered textures, wide planks with long, beveled edges and high-shine finishes, and more. Our experts can point out specific benefits to each. For instance, matte finishes are less prone to showing scratches and blemishes.

What Is Engineered Hardwood?

Hardwood plank flooring comes in two main constructions: solid and engineered.

• Engineered hardwood flooring planks are created from laminated layers. This layered design adds structural stability and prevents expanding and contracting from moisture and humidity exposure. At the surface is a real hardwood veneer, meaning engineered and solid hardwood looks identical from above. The only disadvantage to engineered hardwood is you can’t normally sand and refinish as often as solid wood. This depends on quality and thickness of its top layer.
• Solid hardwood floors, with each plank made from a single wood piece, have been around for centuries. Each plank is typically ¾ inch thick and made entirely of premium hardwood. Since it’s solid throughout, you can sand and refinish your solid wood floors multiple times. This eliminates scratches, stains, dents, and other imperfections, and lets you refinish in a modern style. Because this type of wood flooring is susceptible to warping in humid or extra dry conditions, we recommend installing it above-grade and in non-moisture prone rooms. Make sure your home has proper humidity levels through the dry winter months, so planks don’t become brittle and prone to gapping and cracking.

Our premium hardwood flooring brands include Superior Hardwood, National Wood Flooring, Rustic River, Hanover Hills, Kahr’s, TAS Hardwood, Bruce, Mannington, and Hydrotek H20.

Where Can Hardwood Be Installed?

Solid wood hardwood can be installed in dry, above-grade spaces. It's perfect for a living room or bedroom. Engineered hardwood can be installed on all levels and in busier settings that are more moisture prone. This includes basements, mudrooms, and kitchens. Our most versatile hardwood product is Hydrotek™, a completely waterproof hardwood floor. It has a vinyl sublayer and watertight seams that protect from leaks. Install Hydrotek in your bathroom for a gorgeous, spa-like aesthetic.

Wherever and however, you choose to enjoy hardwood flooring, we recommend professional flooring installation. A typical hardwood installation takes a couple of days to complete. Relax and allow our professionals to manage furniture removals.
