Once you reviewed your budget and installation needs, there are different types of wood flooring for your consideration.
Hardwood Flooring:
Are solid hardwood floors, which adds a timeless beauty to the room installed, compliments any decor, yet there are limitations, such as the location you can install a solid hardwood floor. As wood expands and contracts, hardwood floor installation cannot be done in rooms with high humidity levels, such as basements. Hardwood floors can be used in high traffic areas, since you can sand and refinish the wood when it is needed. Hardwood floors can be installed pre-finished, or unfinished and we will custom finish it for you. Keep in mind the length of time therefore in the completion of installation.
Laminate Wood Flooring:
Laminate flooring offers the true look of solid hardwood flooring, as it has an image of wood on its surface, without the worries of warping due to expansion/contraction of the wood. Laminate flooring is made of high-density fiberboard between melamine laminate backing and high quality photographic paper with image of wood. Laminate flooring is easier to install than most wood flooring. Laminate flooring is suitable for rooms such as basements and bathrooms. Laminate flooring is not recommended for high-traffic areas.
Engineered Wood Flooring:
For those who want to look of real wood but a more durable product, they opt for engineered wood flooring. Engineered flooring is more stable in many environments, including basement, laundry areas and garages and can be installed over concrete with ease. Engineered wood flooring is made of thin sheets of material like plywood glued together with a top veneer of solid wood, then a laminate finish.
Wood flooring is an option chosen by those with allergies, as dust and pollen are easily vacuumed or dry mopped from the surface.
You can also further beautify your flooring by placing an exotic area rug atop it.
