I am pretty curious to know about your hardwood flooring – I love it! From where did you purchase it? What is the cost of this color? I really admire your flooring’s dark look but have been told it’s super hard to keep clean. If you have any of these questions mentioned above, keep reading to learn everything about Flooring.

The choice of flooring is one of the most basic, yet important decisions a homeowner must make when undertaking a renovation. While there are plenty of different options, one material is the acknowledged standard from carpet to terrazzo & that’s hardwood.

But not all kinds of hardwood-flooring are designed the same & deciding on one is not merely a matter of picking a preferred color. A range of other factors can have an impact on both aesthetics & performance like:

• • Solid or Engineered Flooring
  • Prefinished or Site Finish
  • Type of Finish
  • Wood Types
  • Grain Pattern
  • Plank Width

# Solid Hardwood Flooring

Solid hardwood is exactly as the name implies. It’s solid wood all the way through. These can be sanded & refinished many times to present with a fresh look. They’re known for their timeless beauty, durability & the value they add to any home.

Solid hardwood is excellent for high traffic areas & rooms on the first or second floors with limited moisture. You can buy these types of hardwood floors, both prefinished and unfinished. Prefinished hardwood floors possess a coating that shields them & they can be installed right out of the box. Unfinished hardwoods let you apply your own preferred stain color.

# Engineered Hardwood Flooring

Engineered hardwood floors have a solid wood top & bottom, but the middle or core layers are made of plywood. This construction type makes engineered hardwood less likely to expand & better suitable for installation over radiant heating systems, concrete slabs & basements.

Like solid hardwood floors, engineered hardwood floors come in various styles, colors & wood species options. These types of floors can also be refinished & sanded – just not as often.

How to Clean Hardwood Floors?

No matter what type of hardwood-flooring you pick, proper attention & maintenance will keep them looking attractive for a long time. First off, do not allow dirt & dust to collect. Clean your hardwood floors often with a broom or dust mop. If you are utilizing a vacuum, always make sure it is set to ‘wood floors’ so that you are not striking your floors & crushing/damaging them in the whole process.

If your floors need deeper cleaning, use an approved wood floor cleaner. Copy the directions for thinning the cleaner in water. Clean the floors with a damp mop, going with the grain. Then, go back over the floor with a clean, damp mop to remove any excess cleaner. Finish by drying the floor thoroughly with a dry towel. Do remember, leftover standing water might damage your hardwood floors.
