Hardwood flooring is one of the best ways to add beauty and style in your home. For many years, hardwood flooring has been the preferred choice by many homeowners, as they are the perfect blend of functionality and durability. By mistake or due to regular use if your hardwood floors are damaged then you can easily refinish it and enjoy the like-new look.

At the time of buying, you will find various types of woods which are used in your hardwood floorings. This includes oak which is one of the most popular types and then maple, walnut, birch, beech and others are used.

If you are planning to buy hardwood flooring then you need to consider walnut and oak flooring, as they offer several benefits.

Oak floors – This type of wood is less expensive and softer than walnut. In addition to this, you can also tone it into any colour and change the look of the floors according to your tastes. You can also stain it with dark colours and give it a look of walnut. This option is the most preferred by users.

Walnut floors – This wood is naturally dark and also an open grained wood. In addition to this, walnut is harder than oak which means that once you have installed walnut floors in your home then they will be with you for many years. Nowadays, you will also get imitations but these artificial hardwood floorings will not give the look of natural walnut. You also need to consider how the flooring has been produced, as it will also affect the overall look of the floorings.

Lastly, you can go with any one but make sure that you take proper care of your hardwood floorings, as it will help in extending the life span of the flooring.
