With so many different types of wood available for hardwood flooring, you will need to consider carefully the options that are available to you. In order to make an informed executive decision, you should discuss your needs and requirements with your hardwood flooring specialist before deciding on a final type of wood.

It should always be remembered when it comes to hardwood flooring that each different type of wood has different properties and will look different in every home that it laid in. Wood reacts to the environment in which it lives so it will change and develop over time. This will ensure that you have a truly unique hardwood flooring in your home which you will be able to admire over the years.

Another thing to bear in mind when choosing the wood for your flooring is its hardness. Some woods are harder than others and they are able to withstand varying degrees of traffic. This should be considered when choosing the wood flooring for rooms such as your living room, hallway or kitchen where there is a considerable amount of traffic coming in and out. When compared to a bedroom or a dining room, you could probably get away with a softer type of wood.
