There’s nothing quite like the classic look of high-quality hardwood flooring in a home. No matter what color the floor may be, it can complement all kinds of home design trends, ranging from minimalist modern looks to rustic farmhouse styles. Furthermore, with its durability and long lifespan, hardwood flooring can be a great investment for any homeowner.
Here at Design Flooring, LLC, we’re proud to offer a wide range of hardwood flooring options for our clients throughout the community. If you’re thinking about upgrading your floors to hardwood flooring, here are some things you should know:
- Types of Hardwood Flooring: There are many hardwood species to consider for your floors, including oak, maple, and teak. Each unique type will have different colors, grain patterns, and hardness levels.
- Finishes: Hardwood flooring can come in several different finishes ranging from matte to high gloss looks. Since the finish can impact how durable your floor will be, it’s important to select a flooring finish that meets your needs and lifestyle.
- Durability: The hardness of each type of wood can help you decide which type will best suit different areas of your house. For example, you’ll want a harder floor in high-traffic areas, like your entryway or kitchen.
- Maintenance Requirements: When it comes to caring for your hardwood floors, you should sweep or vacuum frequently to get rid of dust and debris. If you mop, make sure you don’t use a lot of water, as excess moisture could damage or warp the wood materials. Finally, applying a specialized hardwood floor cleaner as needed will help your floors continue to look great for a long time.
