    Hardwood Flooring: Being In the Know

    Wood is a popular floor surface covering material which has been in use for hundreds of years. Hardwood has an enviable reputation with regards to versatility in functionality and design, and as a flooring material, it enthuses an inherent natural charm which gives each floor a unique look and personality. Hardwood flooring materials are made from hardwood timber. Trees that hardwood materials are obtained from grow at a much slower pace and end up being denser and more durable than materials obtained from softwood. Consequently, hardwood flooring tends to be very strong and doesn’t require a lot of care and maintenance, making them very appealing to most homeowners around the world.

    Engineered vs Hardwood Installation

    Solid hardwood flooring is popular with homeowners who desire natural looks and feel of real wood. For such floors, the materials are purely made from wood from top to bottom, it’s made of solid wood which has been milled straight from a tree, featuring popular wood types such as maple, oak, and teak flooring amongst others.

    Engineered wood, on the other hand, brings the same ambiance as hardwood, only that they come with a touch of human engineering brilliance which enhances their usability. Engineered hardwood flooring is manufactured with multiple layers of wood and laminate layer at the very bottom to stop moisture from affecting the floors. As such, they are not affected by changes in humidity or temperature as is sometimes the case with hardwood flooring.

    Unfinished and Finished Flooring

    Finished hardwood flooring refers to finished wood and could be either solid or engineered. It is a turn-key material that requires no additional work after installation. They don’t need any form of post-installation finishing. Finished hardwood flooring is available in a dozen types and in different colors to suit the demands of various homeowners.

    For unfinished hardwood flooring, there will be extra work needed post-installation to make them look fresh and great. Some of the finishing that may be necessary include staining and sealing the floor to make them look attractive for decades to come. Homeowners who prefer these types of flooring materials are those who can’t find the exact finishing they need with the finished types, and so they decide to go and do the finishing by themselves. Additionally, unfinished hardwood flooring materials are relatively cheaper compared to their finished counterparts only that more money may be needed to do the finishing.

    Durable and Air Quality?

    The strength and the durability is one of the reasons why most people love hardwood flooring. It is true they may get scratched or dented, but this will happen after a very long time. Besides, once the floor is installed, you are assured of having it for many decades to come. This also brings in the aspect of cost-effectiveness since you won’t have to worry about regular repairs and maintenances.

    Hardwood floors increase the air quality in homes by not trapping animal dander, dust, particulate matter, pollen and other allergens. This is why it is the preferred floor type for allergy sufferers. Additionally, tile or laminate floors have grout lines and an embossing which attract dust, dirt and other particulate matter that may interfere with the quality of indoor air if not cleaned on a regular basis. This is why they can’t be compared to hardwood floors regarding indoor air quality.
