Wood floors are both durable and affordable, and are available in various styles, colours and types. Whether you want a trendy look or a traditional finish for your home, there are many conventional wood floors to choose from; made from pine, mahogany, ash, oak, or bamboo.

Wooden floors are safe and environmentally friendly, as they come from natural surroundings and can be recycled. Unlike other floors, wooden floors do not accumulate dirt and allergens so they are ideal if you want to maintain a healthy household. Once you install wooden floors in your home then you do not have to worry, as they will last for many years whilst adding value to your home.

Here are three styles of wooden floors:

Parquet wood flooring – With this type of wood flooring, the pieces of wood are assembled to form a new style; resulting in some amazing geometric patterns and designs. Parquet wood flooring is mostly used in kitchens, children’s rooms and sometimes even in living rooms.

Strip wood flooring – Strip flooring is also known as hardwood flooring and is linear and solid. It comes in widths of 1, 2 and 3 inches. A linear look is generated in the areas where it is installed, giving the impression of a larger space. Strip wood flooring is sometimes available in softwoods such as pine.

Plank flooring – This type of floor has broader widths but is also available in linear designs. It is generally available in widths such as 3, 4 and 5 inches. Red oak and white ash wood are most commonly used for plank flooring.

These different styles can completely change the appearance of your wooden floor, but it ultimately depends on you to choose the right design and style to suit your home and personal tastes.
