There are all sorts of reasons why choosing wood flooring is a great idea: it looks great, is extremely functional and will hopefully last a lifetime. There are, actually, several types of wooden floor to choose from, such as solid wood flooring, engineered flooring and laminate flooring.
Each of these kinds of wood flooring has its benefits. Solid wood is considered to be the most prestigious kind of wood and comes at a price, it is extremely durable and very attractive; engineered flooring is made up of layers, and has a thin hardwood layer on its surface. Laminate flooring imitates the look of wood and is a synthetic product.
If you choose a solid wood floor you need to think about what wood suits your home best. There are actually a lot of species of wood you can choose from, for instance oak or walnut or maple. Each kind of wood has its own aesthetics and may also perform differently. Oak generally is a more popular choice and oak floors are readily available online.
Even when choosing oak there is still a lot of choice to be made. For instance, you might choose oak that has been finished a particular way or you might choose unfinished wood that is generally more suited to rustic properties.
Any wood floor can add real value to your home, not just in terms of how it looks but also in practical terms adding financial value to your property.
