WHICH TYPE OF WOODEN FLOORING SHOULD YOU CHOOSE?

If you’re looking to install new wooden flooring in your home, there are several things which you need to take into consideration, although one of first and most important things which you need to think about is the actual type of wooden flooring which you should invest in.

Wooden flooring popular with many modern homeowners include oak, pine, ash, cherry and walnut, and each type boasts individual qualities which are suitable for different requirements.

OAK

Oak is one of the most widely installed types of wooden flooring, as it is highly durable and therefore suitable for rooms with a great deal of foot traffic. Provided it is cared for properly, oak hardwood flooring can serve as a beautiful addition to the home for a long time.

PINE

Pine flooring is another popular choice, although as it has a low to medium density, it might not be suitable for installation in rooms which are subject to heavy foot traffic.

WALNUT

Like oak wooden flooring, walnut is hard wearing and therefore suitable for most rooms in the home. This flooring is usually a medium to dark brown colour.

So, before you go ahead and make that purchase, consider the specific requirements of the rooms in which you’re planning to install the flooring and make a wise, well informed investment. Call Justwood for a free quote.
