Buying Tips for Hardwood
Flooring.
Color. Generally darker wood tones lend a more formal, traditional feel
to any room, while lighter tones tend to be better suited for
contemporary, country and casual styles. But since this is hardwood we're
talking about, nothing is set in stone. So by all means, let your personal
taste, preference, and style be your guide.
Location. Without a doubt, moisture
is one of hardwood's most dreaded enemies. Which is why placing
wood flooring in a full bath would be a bad idea--because of the heavy
moisture content in the room. Likewise, you should avoid putting hardwood in
any room that, elevation-wise, is lower than the level of your yard outside.
Gutters should flow water away from the house. Again, because moisture could
become a big problem. Even there is a coating on the surface of the wood,
some moisture comes from the floor up also, but if you really want to gamble
with your investment at least use a top of the line moisture resistant wood
glue ( read the bucket ) and even think about the sealing the floor
first.
Type. Wood flooring generally
comes as either strictly a solid wood or as a wood backing with a protective
wood wear surface. (other words Engineered hardwood) Regardless of what type
you select, another beauty of hard wood is that it can easily be resanded, recoated
and refinished. Which makes it a perfectly recycle able flooring choice
