Hardwood flooring selection guide

Hardwood flooring selection guide


It can be challenging to figure out what type of wood you need to select for your hardwood floors. Abbey Carpet & Floor at Patricia’s is here to help. We have a quick guide to help you with your hardwood floor.

The perfect wood floor


So one of the things to consider when selecting a hardwood floor is how busy you are at home. Do you have a lot of traffic in your home? Then, you have a selection of hard to softwood. The more active the house, the harder the species that you want.

You have an option between solid hardwood and engineered hardwood. Engineered hardwood is suitable for below-grade rooms, like basements, and you get the same value-added to your property with engineered floors as you do solid.

Once you’ve settled on your species of wood, then you can focus on its appearance. You can personalize it however you want; you can have a clear coat to an ebony black stain or anything in between. Again, you can choose from a vast array of strains.

Then comes the finish. You can have a distressed look or a vintage look on your finish. This can protect your floor from scratches and scuffs. With the right stain and finish, you can make the most of your hardwood.
