Wood Flooring
Wood flooring products are highly valued for their timeless beauty, durability, and versatility. Their natural elegance, with unique grain patterns and rich colors, enhances any room's aesthetic, from classic to modern styles. High-quality wood floors withstand heavy traffic and can last for decades, especially solid hardwood that can be refinished multiple times. Versatile enough for almost any room, wood floors complement other materials like stone and tile. They are easy to clean and maintain, resist stains and odors, and improve indoor air quality by not harboring allergens. Eco-friendly options like reclaimed wood and bamboo are available. Wood floors also increase home value due to their enduring appeal. Providing comfort and warmth underfoot, wood flooring can also help reduce noise, contributing to a serene environment. As a renewable and recyclable resource, wood is a sustainable flooring choice.
Types of Wood Flooring
Solid Hardwood Flooring
Made from a single piece of wood, solid hardwood flooring is known for its durability and classic beauty. It can be sanded and refinished multiple times over its lifespan.
- Installation: Typically nailed or stapled to a wooden subfloor.
Engineered Hardwood Flooring
- Consists of a core layer of hardwood or plywood with a top layer of hardwood veneer. Engineered hardwood is more stable than solid hardwood and can be installed in a variety of environments, including basements and over concrete.
- Installation: Can be glued, stapled, or floated over various subfloors.
Laminate Wood Flooring
- Made from a high-density fiberboard core with a photographic image of wood and a protective wear layer. Laminate flooring mimics the look of real wood at a lower cost.
- Installation: Typically installed as a floating floor using a click-and-lock system.
Bamboo Flooring
- Made from bamboo grass, bamboo flooring is a sustainable and eco-friendly option. It is available in both solid and engineered formats.
- Types: Strand-woven, horizontal, and vertical bamboo.
- Installation: Can be glued, nailed, or floated.
