When you are considering what type of hardwood flooring to have in your home, you will be surprised at how many options are available to you in terms of the wood that you choose as well as how it is going to be installed in your living room, bedroom or hallway.

Hardwood flooring is suitable for almost any room in your home or office and it offers a far more practical alternative to carpets especially when you have a busy family which is growing. Most family homes are bursting with energy and it is always the case that drinks are split or accidents occur on the carpet. With hardwood flooring, you won’t have to worry about such incidents. Spills can be easily cleaned up and they will not leave a mark on your new solid hardwood flooring. Similarly, they are just as easy to keep clean as a carpet if not easier.

Choosing wisely when it comes to the type of wood you have is essential. You need to have harder types of wood in areas where there is an increased amount of traffic coming through it such as hallways, kitchens and living rooms. You can get away with softer types of wood in bedrooms, bathrooms and dining rooms.
