There is nothing quite like the look of Hardwood Floors!
Most homeowners know about the kind of classic elegance that comes with hardwood flooring. It offers an appearance that is hardly rivaled, though often reproduced. As highly sought after as it is, for obvious reasons, finding out more can help you create the look you want and need for your home.
With a lifespan that gives you 100 years or more to enjoy this material, you’ll never have to purchase another floor covering. You’ll be refinishing your floors instead of replacing them. But once you find out about all the many benefits available, you’re not going to want to go any further.
There are amazing benefits in these materials, even above and beyond what they are most well-known for. Of course, they offer extreme durability and functionality, as well as some of the most elegant appearances in flooring, but that’s not all. These floors are easier to personalize than you might think as well.
In choosing a species, you’ll be doing the work of ensuring your floor matches your activity level, which is the most important thing to consider as you get started. Some species are harder than others and much better for busy households. Softer woods can be used in areas with little to no traffic.
When shopping Hardwood Flooring, remember that there is both solid and engineered wood flooring from which you can choose. Engineered flooring features a veneer of real wood atop layers of plywood, while solid wood, of course, is wood throughout. Engineered is a great option for basements or any area where dampness, humidity, spills, or temperature changes could be an issue.
It’s not everyday you choose hardwood flooring. In addition to adding beauty, durability, and longevity, it adds significant value to your home as well. If you ever need to sell your home, you’ll find that your bottom line is higher with these floors in place. If you don’t, you’ll still enjoy the benefits for many years to come.

Real Life Benefits
In an active home, a little love will always go a long way in keeping your beautiful surfaces sparkling throughout the rigors of daily life. This rings especially true for gorgeous wood floors that are now as innovative as they are timeless: Whether you install engineered wood, laminated wood or solid wood flooring in your home, proper maintenance will ensure your attractive investment stays that way!
Perhaps wood floors once had the reputation of being high maintenance, but today’s genuine wood products deliver all the natural beauty with added defense for easier care and long-lasting beauty. Once you learn how to care for your specific wood floor properly, your routine will be easier- and more effective- than you probably ever thought it could be.
How It Works ?
- Make sure to vacuum or sweep your floor regularly, especially in high-traffic areas, to prevent dirt and debris from scratching the wood’s surface.
- Always use a soft-bristled attachment or broom.
- Avoid using vacuums with either a beater bar or power rotary brush head.
- Use protective window coverings to block UV rays and excessive heat from direct sunlight.
- Rearrange rugs and furniture periodically to help floor age evenly.
- Wipe up spills immediately with a clean white cloth.
With the versatility of laminated wood, you can have the natural beauty of wood in any area of your home with the convenience of durable, easy-care flooring. Advanced options from Mohawk provide a revolutionary step in flooring that gives you complete wood beauty without compromising performance. You can install these floors at any level of your home, even over multiple subfloor types!
For a savvy combination of strength and style, engineered wood flooring is a great option for homeowners looking for the best of both worlds. Available as planks in multiple widths and lengths for design capability.
In addition to this helpful quality, care and maintenance is a breeze for engineered wood floors:
- Make sure to vacuum or sweep your floor regularly, especially in high-traffic areas, to prevent dirt and debris from scratching the wood’s surface.
- Always use a soft-bristled attachment or broom.
- Avoid using vacuums with either a beater bar or power rotary brush head.
- Use protective window coverings to block UV rays and excessive heat from direct sunlight.
- Rearrange rugs and furniture periodically to help floor age evenly.
- Wipe up spills immediately with a clean white cloth.
Although the options for installation may decrease, homeowners who want to outfit their favorite rooms with solid wood floors have many amazing species to choose from. Each SolidWood plank is just as the name suggests: a solid piece of wood from the finest domestic and exotic hardwoods, available in multiple widths and lengths.
As alluded to above, installation is only appropriate above grade, over approved wooden subfloors. Also, you want to limit solid wood floors to rooms with controlled temperatures and humidity. Should you spill on your solid wood flooring, follow this specific procedure:
- Wipe up spills and spots immediately with a clean white cloth.
- Use ice to harden tough substances like wax or chewing gum.
- Gently and carefully scrape with a plastic scraper.
- Wipe the area clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
