Dreaming of hardwood floors? If your next home improvement project includes hardwoods, here are a few guidelines to follow!

 

 

What Are the Different Species of Hardwood?

Just like any other flooring, hardwood comes in a variety of styles. Before deciding on a style, however, consider the area of installation and which species will work best in that area. Is it a busy hallway or a guest bedroom with low foot traffic? Each hardwood species offers varying durability and hardness levels, so be sure to ask your flooring expert which species works best for you.

What Are the Different Styles of Hardwood?

Consider the style of your hardwood floors, as well. Are you looking for a Scandinavian approach that is minimal and clean, or are you dreaming of a light and airy coastal approach for your Tampa home? Given the right style, your hardwoods will elevate your interior to create a luxurious and beautiful space.

 

Some different styles include:

 

 

What Are the Different Types of Hardwood?

There are multiple types of hardwoods, including engineered and solid hardwood. Today, we’ll take a closer look at the differences between solid and engineered. While they may look similar, each type has a few differences.

 

Solid

As the name implies, solid hardwood is one solid piece of wood from top to bottom. Each plank may vary in thickness but, on average, you can choose from ¾” or 5/16”.

 

Engineered

Engineered hardwood floors are made of multiple layers of composite wood, which are laminated together in cross-grain directions. Each engineered plank has a genuine hardwood veneer at the surface, so both types of wood appear identical from above.

 

It’s important to remember that hardwood floors, even engineered options, are generally not recommended for bathrooms, and other high-moisture areas. We offer a range of waterproof and water-resistant flooring, lie LVT, LVP, laminate, and our waterproof hardwood brand, Hydrotek™.

 

Where Can I Install My Hardwood Floors?

There are several areas you can install hardwood floors. However, since wood is naturally porous, it can swell and warp in humid climates like ours. For this reason, it is recommended to avoid installing solid hardwoods in areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and mudrooms. Keep this in mind when choosing your specific flooring and the areas of installation.
