Expert Advice - Hardwood Styles

Join our very own Jim Aaron, VP of Merchandising for

Carpet One Floor & Home, for some information on all the

different looks and style available in hardwood floors.

 

What are the Different Types of Hardwood?

 

There is modern and traditional hardwood flooring, as well as rustic hardwood flooring options that emphasize wood's natural character. The different styles of hardwood are characterized by features such as plank length and width, wood grains, color, shine, and even texture. In addition to style, there are different types of wood flooring available. The different hardwood options include maple, cherry, oak, and birch, among others. Each wood option offers unique shades and character, and they also feature different strength levels and wear resistance.

We also offer other hardwood options including cork flooring.

 

Is Solid or Engineered Hardwood Better?

 

There are two types of hardwood available: solid and engineered. Solid hardwood is made from a single strip of real wood and nothing else. There is no special construction, so it’s definitely considered a more traditional wood flooring option. Solid hardwood planks, although they are not specially-constructed, are strong and thick enough for multiple refinishes. Whereas solid hardwood is made from a single strip of wood, engineered hardwood is made from multiple wood plies. These plies are layered in different directions to counteract wood’s natural ability to expand, so engineered hardwood is stronger and more stable than solid hardwood. As a result, engineered hardwood is suitable in areas with some moisture, including below ground areas such as basements. But, engineered hardwood cannot be refinished as many times as solid hardwood.

Hardwood Finishes 

 

For extra shine and protection, hardwood floors are applied with finish. Finish protects the surface from scratches and scuffs, and many finishes are even strong enough to repel some spills and stains. At the same time, finish can add shine and color to the surface. Topical finishes are most popular, and they essentially form a transparent layer over the surface for protection. However, there are some finishes available that are actually absorbed into the wood planks for extra strength and long-lasting protection.

 

Where can Hardwood be Installed?

 

Hardwood is recommended for home settings where there isn't significant foot traffic and moisture. Popular spots for hardwood are bedrooms and living rooms. Since engineered hardwood feature a durable and stable construction, those planks can be installed in more trafficked areas like hallways, dining rooms, and children’s playrooms.
