How to Choose Perfect Hardwood Floors
Pick Your Grain Pattern
The milling process dictates the visual texture. Plain-sawn milling produces wavy cathedral arches. Rift-sawn milling cuts the logs at an angle to produce straight, linear grain, and quarter-sawn milling reveals unique flecks and rays within the wood structure.
Consider Wood Types
Oak is the most popular choice due to its ideal balance of hardness and affordability. White oak is preferred for modern designs because it lacks pink undertones, while walnut is chosen for high-end applications despite being slightly softer than oak.
Choose Prefinished or Site Finish
Prefinished boards are treated in a controlled factory setting with highly durable topcoats, arriving ready to install. Site-finished flooring is installed raw and then sanded, stained, and sealed in your home, which allows for precise color matching and gap filling.
Select Solid or Engineered Flooring
Solid hardwood consists of a single piece of timber, offering maximum longevity. Engineered flooring is constructed with a hardwood veneer over plywood layers, which provides superior resistance to moisture and prevents the planks from warping over time.
