Basics About Wood Flooring

Wood flooring is the most sought after in today's home. Most people referring to wood floors as solid boards made from a single solid wood source, such as red oak. This category also includes softwoods such as cedar and pretty much all other types of pine. It is up to you to check the hardness of this specific type of wood based on hardness as hardness can differ greatly between different types of pine or oak.

While there are many types of wood flooring, you should have a pretty good idea of what you want. This will help you make the right decision regarding the style and appearance you wish to have for your floors. However, depending upon the look you want, there are several more types that you may want to consider.

Cedar is one of the hardest types of wood that you can have as flooring in your home. This type of wood has a slight honey color and the grain can be a beautiful silvery-white color. Cedar also has an extremely thick grain, so this wood is great for those who have small spaces.

Redwood is another popular type of wood as well. This type of wood can be found in various shades of brown and black and the grain on the wood will usually be a nice dark brown. This type of flooring is also great for rooms with large amounts of light coming into the room from windows and doors.

The third type of wood floor that you may want to consider is pine. Pine can be found in the same dark color range as cedar and is very light in weight and density. Pine can be found in both solid pieces and strips and sheets that can be glued together and cut to fit.

The truth is that almost all top-quality wood flooring companies still recommend caution when it comes to applying their flooring in wet environments such as bathrooms and kitchens. While it is true that diligent care to sealing cracks between tiles and board joints between boards will make wood flooring perform adequately in an ordinary bathroom, not every flooring product on the market is manufactured in a manner that will stand up under moisture. That is why many people turn to faux wood flooring.

Faux wood flooring products also come in a variety of designs. There are several types of engineered wood flooring. One of the most popular types of engineered wood flooring today is the Hester Duck imitation hardwood. This floor product is made with three layers of engineered wood chips arranged in a regular pattern, similar to a modern-day honeycomb. Other popular engineered wood flooring include those that are made with real wood, as well as those that are made from faux wood.

Faux wood flooring can be a great choice for anyone looking for a floor surface that is both beautiful and durable. Although they can be more expensive than their real counterparts, they can also add value to your home as well as give you a sense of style.
