Hardwood Flooring 101
Nothing adds warmth and value to a home like wood floors. Over
90 percent of real estate agents in a national survey said that
homes with wood floors sell more quickly and for higher prices
than other homes without wood flooring.
Some people shy away from hardwood flooring because they believe that they're
high maintenance. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Today's specially formulated finishes are as tough as they are
beautiful. Only occasionally will you want to do a thorough
cleaning with a recommended wood floor cleaning solvent, and
it's well worth it to keep your wood floors in glowing good
health.
Another concern many people have is that wood floors are somehow
bad for the environment. Actually, wood floors are ecologically
friendly. Recycled wood from old ships, barns and even old wood
floors is highly prized for its "distressed" characteristics.
Wood is also a good choice for allergy sufferers since its
surface doesn't collect dust, dander and other allergens.
There are many types and styles of wood floors and many types of
wood can be used in them. The most common styles are:
· Strip - A floor made up of wood strips averaging 2" in width.
Strip flooring is ideal for small rooms as it makes the
room
seem larger than it actually is.
· Plank - Plank flooring uses larger wood boards ranging from 3"
to 6" in width.
· Parquet - This popular style is made up of wooden pieces that
combine to create an attractive pattern. The simplest parquet
pattern is a 6" x 6" checkerboard design, but there is really no
limit to how complex a parquet floor pattern can become. Wood
floors can be protected by a transparent varnish that lets the
wood's natural tint show through or they can be stained any
color you like to complement any décor scheme. Over 50 different
species of woods are used in wood flooring, including familiar
domestic woods such as Pine, Oak, and Maple as well as more
exotic woods like Bamboo, Mesquite and Teak. All of these woods
vary in hardness and wear resistance, so consider the traffic
patterns where they will be installed.
With all the flooring options available to the homeowner to
consider, wood flooring remains a very popular choice. They're
more affordable than you might think, and they maintain their
beauty and value as time goes by. As the expression goes, "It's
the wood that makes it good!"
