Wood Flooring: 3 things to consider before buying
Choosing the right wood type is crucial for your wood flooring. Solid hardwood offers durability and can be sanded multiple times, making it ideal for high-traffic areas. Engineered wood, with its layered construction, resists moisture better and is perfect for basements or kitchens. Think about where you’ll install the flooring and the level of foot traffic to determine which type suits your needs.
The finish on wood flooring not only affects its appearance but also its maintenance. Matte finishes hide scratches well and require less upkeep, while glossy finishes offer a sleek look but show wear more easily. Consider your lifestyle; if you have pets or children, a more forgiving finish might be best. Style-wise, lighter woods can make a room feel larger, whereas darker tones add warmth and intimacy.
The method of installation can impact both cost and time. Floating floors are easy to install yourself and work well in most rooms, while glue-down installations provide a firmer feel underfoot but may require professional help. If you're planning a DIY project, ensure you’re comfortable with the chosen method or consult an expert to avoid complications.
