Wooden floors are available in various different finishes, types and colours. So, you can opt for the one which suits the décor of your home. While selecting any one of them, you need to consider some factors such as finish, number of coats and the thickness of the flooring.

Various kinds of wooden flooring

Walnut flooring – Walnut is one of the most popular materials used to produce wooden floors. This wood is brown in colour along with hard texture and low-medium density.

Oak wood – Oak is commonly used all over the world and it is divided into two categories, such as red oak and white oak. Red oak is popular as it has a warm red tone which has a natural stain and finish. Moreover, red oak has higher number of grains with medium density.

White oak is very much similar to red oak but it has a light yellow colour with medium density.

Maple and Pine – After oak, these two woods are most commonly preferred. Maple has very fine grains along with great texture. On the other hand, Pine is commonly used for sub-floors as it is softer.

Thus, out of so many wooden floors to choose from, you can opt for any one which suits your requirements and taste.
