Hardwood flooring selection guide


Choosing the perfect wood flooring is a very personal experience, especially as you add in features that will be of particular benefit to you and your household. But we know it can seem like a daunting task, which is why we’re here today to give you some great tips on selection.

The perfect wood flooring is closer than you think

The first consideration for choosing the best hardwood flooring is the activity level in your home. If you have pets, and children, and lots of things going on, you’ll want a species that is harder than most, as this provides the highest level of durability naturally.

Other important aspects include:

  • Stain color – this is one of the ways you can best match your décor.
  • Sealant type – each one is different, with specific characteristics for each, and one is likely to appeal to you more than the others.
  • Finish – available in a great variety of options; you can choose one like hand-scraped, vintage, or distressed to add wear protection as well as visual appeal.
  • Installation technique – standard installation is available, as is an installation in patterns such as herringbone and chevron, to give you a look you want and need for your décor.

There are other specifics we can discuss once you choose your exact engineered or solid hardwood flooring. We look forward to helping you create your best floors.
