So you’ve decided to purchase hardwood flooring. Good choice!
But unfortunately, your decision-making process is far from over. You’ll still have to drill down on what type of hardwood floor is good for your situation. To guide you through this process read on to learn more…
Solid Hardwood
Solid wood flooring planks, as the name implies, are constructed of trees. Pros:
Cons:
Additional Considerations:
Type Of Wood and Grain
The most popular types of hardwood floors in North America are oak, walnut, maple, hickory, cherry, and ash. Each has its own personality when it comes to color, grain, and ability to take on the stain, so it’s largely a matter of aesthetics – and price. Woodgrain is often influenced by the way the timber is cut. Plank Width Hardwood planks can range in width from a couple of inches to almost a foot. The wider the plank the more it will cost. When you use wide planks you’ll end up with fewer seams which some find aesthetically more pleasing. However, with wider planks, if your floor ever becomes damaged you’ll need to replace a lot more lumber at a greater expense. Pre-finished or Raw Wood If you choose pre-finished boards you’ll know exactly what the finished floor will look like whereas raw wood floors finished on-site can vary a bit once the stain has been applied. The added benefit to pre-finished planks is that the installation process is much quicker due to the fact that the finishing process was already done at the factory and you need not worry about letting the protective coating dry. Oil Versus Polyurethane Finish Oil finishes create a more natural-looking wood, whereas polyurethane finishes are much more protective of the wood. Oil finishes are easier to maintain, although you’ll have to do it more often. Polyurethane finishes require less maintenance but are more labor-intensive. In Conclusion: No matter what you choose, you will have a durable, good looking, and timeless flooring material that will serve you well for years to come. from West Coast Floor Company https://westcoastfloorcompany0.blogspot.com/2020/06/solid-vs-engineered-hardwood-so-youve.html from West Coast Floor Company https://westcoastfloorcompany.wordpress.com/2020/06/26/what-stikes-your-fancy-solid-vs-engineered-hardwood/ from Hardwood Floor Refinishing Vallejo https://hardwoodfloorrefinishingvallejo.blogspot.com/2020/06/what-stikes-your-fancy-solid-vs.html from Hardwood Floor Refinishing Vallejo https://hardwoodfloorrefinishingvallejo.wordpress.com/2020/06/26/what-stikes-your-fancy-solid-vs-engineered-hardwood/ from All Flooring Contractor Vallejo https://allflooringcontractorvallejo.blogspot.com/2020/06/what-stikes-your-fancy-solid-vs.html via All Flooring Contractor Vallejo https://allflooringcontractorvallejo.wordpress.com/2020/06/26/what-stikes-your-fancy-solid-vs-engineered-hardwood/ |

Flooring is the general term for a permanent covering of a floor, or for the work of installing such a floor covering. Floor covering is a term to generically describe any finish material applied over a floor structure to provide a walking surface. Both terms are used interchangeably but floor covering refers more to loose-laid materials. ArchivesNo Archives Categories |
