Wooden floor boards provides a great look and durable floor surface for any home. The look, feel and longevity of wood have long since converted me to wood as my material of choice. Choosing the right wood flooring for your home is a key factor in the decision making process, and when done right wood floors are a great investment that will increase a homes value and last for many years!
There is a lot to consider when buying wooden flooring. You want to find something that will make you happy for years to come. Wood lasts a long time so, you don't rush in on the decision on design and style. Foot traffic is a factor that you should consider when making your decision about your flooring choice. I like darker woods for high traffic and lighter designs for minimal traffic.
Bamboo, parquet, laminate and vinyl are just some of the designs that wood floors come in. Parquet floor usually come in 6x6 patterns. You can achieve a great out come with parquet flooring using professional installation. Bamboo, pine, and other wood flooring are usually found as strips or planks. Planks are around 3inches wide. Strip wood flooring can range from 1½ inches to 3 inches in width.
Wood flooring can be expensive to repair. So, taking care of your floors is very important. Pastes and waxes can extend the life of your floors from 20 to 30 years. So, be sure to give your floors the time and care they deserve.
