Wood Floors are relatively inexpensive and can quickly increase the value of a home.
Here are some things to keep in mind when shopping forhardwood flooring.
Wood from outside the country is called exotic wood, and its often more expensive than domestic wood.
Grade one is the most expensive wood, with no knots or visible imperfections.
Grade two is a lower cost option where some knots show, but the wood is still fairly clean.
Each grade is equally strong, and the differences are cosmetic.
The Room
Question about the room to consider:
Engineered vs.
The advantage of solidwood floorsis that they can be re-finished, and tend to last longer than engineered wood.
Both are fine for home use, but be sure to consider the differences before purchasing anything.
Pre-finished vs.
Unfinished
Most people these days opt for pre-finished wood.
Next, it must be done right, or the wood could be permanently damaged.
As with any major purchase, always be sure to shop around for flooring.
