Add The Warm Look Of Wood To Any Room. There's nothing like a wood floor for natural beauty and warmth, and ease of cleaning. Its distinctive grains and swirling burnished figures add a classic touch throughout your entire home. And wood's rich character never goes out of style. Good looking, long lasting, and a great investment in your home's overall value, elegant wood flooring is now the right choice for those who believe in being practical when it comes to home improvements. Wood flooring Is Right For Your Intended Location. All our wood floor selections are clearly labeled for superior performance in a variety of conditions and applications.

You'll also see icons indicating a style's suitability for residential or commercial settings. Pick A Wood Floor For The Use You Have In Mind. Wood flooring is a beautiful, high-performance, long-wearing product by nature. Our Five Star Selection System offers an evaluation of each wood flooring product based on specific criteria such as construction, thickness, plies, finish, and species. Where you intend to install your wood flooring and the amount of foot traffic you expect - along with appearance - usually determines your selection. Our Five Selection System gives you a quick way to assess the price vs. durability factor that is so important to your ultimate decision. Decide On The Look You Want. You'll probably want to decide on the species of wood you prefer first. Our Quick -Pick icons immediately identify the species that interest you: beech, cherry, hickory, maple, oak, pecan, red oak, walnut, or exotic imports. Understanding Product Variations. Many factors determine how your floor will look. Consider how much natural variation there is in the grain and coloring of a wood, a range that contributes to wood's endless appeal. How shiny the wood appears varies according to a finish rated as matte (low), satin (medium), or gloss (high). Choose Your Ending. Even the configuration of the strip's edge contributes to the look of the installed wood floor. Many strips (or planks - the winder version) offer you the choice of square edge (smooth and flat surface), micro bevel (mild bevel that can be felt with the fingertips), or full bevel (forming a strong groove to visually separate the strips and focus your eye on grain line). All these elements make a difference in how your wood floor will look: our Quick-Pick Icons Identify those differences so you're sure to get the look you want. Calculate The Correct Amount Of Wood You Will Need. Bring the floor measurements of the areas you'll be decorating to our showroom when you are shopping- it will help you determine a rough budget for your project. Better yet, ask for a no-obligation home measurement to determine your exact needs. Installation Matters. Today's wood flooring is extremely versatile. Solid, one-piece boards are a good choice for ground level and above-grade applications. Engineered wood flooring is constructed from several layers that are bonded together under extreme pressure. This prevents warping and buckling in cool, moisture-prone areas. This technological advancement means engineered floors can be used anywhere, even to cover a below-grade basement floor. There are more ways than ever to install your wood flooring as well. Our Quick-Pick icons indicate the preferred method for your selection: nailing, Stapling, gluing, floating, or the new "click" (glue less) fit, where plank edges snap together like the pieces of a well made puzzle.
