CONSIDERATIONS TO MAKE WHILST CHOOSING HARDWOOD FLOORING

When it comes to choosing the right kind of hardwood flooring for your home, there are a number of things you need to consider. Firstly, how much traffic you are going to have coming in and out of the room where you are laying the hardwood flooring and also what colour of wood would you like?

Hardwood flooring can be done using various types of wood. The most popular and probably the best known type of wood for hardwood flooring is oak. Many people choose oak because it is a strong durable wood, which can withstand a lot. However, there are other woods, which are just as strong as oak and some that are stronger.

The other types of wood you could choose from are ash, cherry, maple or birch wood. Each type of wood has its own pros and cons and you will need to weigh each of them up individually and decide which type of wood is best for you.

If you are struggling to decide which type of wood would look best in your home, you could ask the professional hardwood flooring specialist for advice when they come to evaluate your home for your hardwood flooring. They will give you honest advice about what type of wood would be best.
