The Hard Facts about Hardwood

Article Category: Real Estate

Author Name: Ginger Jackson

Hardwood floors can transform an ordinary looking room from outdated and old to clean and contemporary. With the endless options of colors, patterns, types and widths, hardwood floors have quickly replaced carpeting as the floor of choice for many homeowners. But because there are so many decisions to be made, a floor contractor may be a good starting point. He or she can guide you through the selection process while doing the floor install for you. Here are a few basic facts about hardwood floors that every homeowner should know before making any final decisions.

There are several types of hardwood floors. Some are naturally made from real wood while others undergo a process to look like real wood. A real, or solid, hardwood floor made from actual timber has some limitations when it comes to the dimensions of the individual planks. The look of solid hardwood floors has some inconsistencies since it relies on the characteristics of the timber that is used. These floors are also prone to gapping and expansion so it is advised not to use them in basements, over concrete or with a floor heating system. Excess moisture and humidity can easily affect the look and installation of a solid hardwood floor. Lastly, nails must be used to install this type of flooring which makes for a more costly floor install.

Your second option is using what is called engineered wood. This type of wood is made to look like solid hardwood. Engineered flooring is sold as multi-ply boards where there is a laminate or veneer layer over the other wood layers. These are less expensive to install as they are often sold as planks that snap or click into each other. The overall floor price on an engineered hardwood floor will cost less than the hammer and nail install required for a solid hardwood floor. These engineered floors also come in a wide variety of finishes and colors so you end up with more options for your home's flooring. Overall, this type of flooring is less likely to have a problem with temperature or water. However, unlike solid hardwood floors, sanding an engineered floor is not recommended as it can strip away the top layer of laminate or veneer.

With all the things to consider with installing a hardwood floor, a floor contractor is your best chance to ensure that you are getting the right flooring for the particular room that will undergo the floor install. Do not forget to take floor price into account as well if you are working on a tight budget. Most importantly, after the floor install is complete, be sure to go over how to care for your hardwood floor with your floor contractor. You do not want a new hardwood floor that looks old and worn soon after it has been installed. By consulting with a floor contractor and keeping your floor price within budget, your floor install should go quickly and smoothly.
