Hardwood flooring

Hardwood flooring is a great investment that would definitely spruce up the ambiance and beauty in any room, making your New York home most welcoming no matter the size or design. The benefits of opting for hardwood are amazing starting from its durability that can even last a

lifetime if taken care of properly. Being made of natural materials, they have been proved to be hypo-allergenic and environmentally friendly. Style is never an issue as it comes in a wide variety of patterns, woods, stains and finishes. And with all these outstanding features, they can be bought at a very affordable price, bringing more value to your penny’s worth.

To make your hardwood flooring installation project last for the longest possible time, it is vital that you develop an understanding on when certain types and products can or cannot be used. Regarding this matter, you can talk with your local NYC contractor and ask questions to be able to perfectly match your flooring needs to the perfect material and type.

Hardwood flooring types:

- Solid Wood Flooring has long since been used in many American homes. This type comes in pre-finished versions which are made by the factory to be readily installable and the unfinished version which must be sanded and finished on-site after installation. It also has three main forms: the plank flooring which comes in only 2 thickness and varies in width; with strip flooring, it is in the thickness that varies but the width can be under specific sets; parquet flooring is not your typical solid hardwood as it is designed with geometrical patterns made out of individual wood slats.
