What factors should be considered when selecting a wood? Hardness? Stability?
A wood’s hardness or its “Janka” rating should be considered when choosing a flooring option. A harder floor will scratch less than a soft one. Another key factor to consider is its dimensional stability. For example, hickory is a harder floor with beautiful color and oak grain; however, it is considerably less stable than oak. The plank width is important to think about when choosing a hardwood. Many people like the look of a wide-plank floor, but larger planks are more susceptible to cupping and warping than thinner wood planks.
What are the benefits of Engineered Hardwood?
Technologically-advanced engineered hardwood works well for many homes in the valley. The structure of this type of hardwood prevents it from shifting over time as much as solid hardwood. It also comes in wider widths with greater stability such as 5”, 6”, and 8” wide planks. Milford Flooring offers many varieties of engineered hardwoods in several colors to match your style.
Can I install Hardwood Flooring myself?
