Making hardwood decisions easy

 
Some homeowners feel a little overwhelmed when it comes time to pick hardwood flooring, especially with its many options. You’ll start by choosing a species that will best suit your needs. The more traffic your home has, the harder your wood species should be, so this is a great place to start.

From there, you can then choose an excellent stain color. Site finished materials will offer a larger selection of colors when compared to prefinished materials. However, prefinished options offer a much faster install. By now, you’re ready to pick the best sealant for your needs as well. With many to choose from, your associate can share all the details.

Find your style with hardwood finishes

 
Many finishes are available for this floor covering, including classic shine, wire-brushed, or vintage. Some finishes can even help guard against damage by hiding signs of everyday wear like scuffs and scratches.

Once wear and tear start to show, after a few decades, you’ll be ready to consider your first refinishing project. This process strips away all that wear, leaving you with a brand-new layer of wood that can then be retained, resealed and refinished. Even engineered flooring can be refinished. The number of times this can be done will depend on the thickness of the actual wood veneer.
