Once you decide on hardwood flooring for your home, you’ve only just embarked on your quest for options. Once you decide on the perfect species and stain color, then you’ll get to choose your style of finish. Species is determined by the level of foot traffic in the areas where the flooring will be installed. The more traffic, the harder the species has to be in order to live up to their full lifespan potential. Stain color offers excellent options to match your decor, while your chosen finish can work to withstand lots of everyday wear and tear.
When choosing hardwood flooring, it’s important to remember that it can never be installed below grade. For these spaces, engineered wood flooring or luxury vinyl planks or tiles make a good alternative. Solid wood can react to the temperature changes, moisture, humidity, and dampness in ways that can destroy it quickly, but the alternate materials do not react the same way.
It’s also important to remember that hardwood flooring must be acclimated before the installation period. This allows the wood to reach the same level of humidity as the surrounding environment, which is necessary to keep it from splitting, warping, or cracking. This process can take from 24 to 72 hours.
