The versatility that a wood floor can give your home is unmatched. With unlimited choices of woods, stains and finishes, there is something out there that is the perfect fit for your home.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>You can have a healthier house with easy to clean wood floors. If you have a busy lifestyle with children or pets in the house, you don\u2019t have time for constant carpet vacuuming and cleaning. Dust, dirt and hair can get ground down into your carpets making them hard to get out even with a steam cleaning.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you are doing only one room or the whole house, <a href=\"https:\/\/alanmichaelcarpentry.com\/services\/flooring-and-surfaces\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wood floor installation<\/a> can be a big job. There are plenty of products out there that claim to be easy to install, but keep in mind that it can still be a tricky process. It\u2019s a good idea to bring in a professional flooring team to help out if you aren\u2019t very handy.<\/p>\n<h4>\nSolid Wood or Artificial<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Solid<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Available in \u215d\u201d to \u00be\u201d thickness<\/li>\n<li>All wood planks, solid<\/li>\n<li>Easier repair and refinishing<\/li>\n<li>Can warp in areas with high humidity<\/li>\n<li>Not recommended for basements<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Artificial<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Generally a wood veneer that is covering engineered plywood or plastic<\/li>\n<li>Durable and stable<\/li>\n<li>Resists warping<\/li>\n<li>Can be more affordable<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>\nFinished or Natural<\/h4>\n<p>Unfinished wood floor is perfect for the craftsman that wants to apply or match his own stain. Planks can be sanded and cut to shape and size as required. Unfinished wood will need to be sealed after installation.<\/p>\n<p>Finished wood is ready to install which can save time in the overall installation process. It is only available in specific stain colors and should not be restained. You don\u2019t have to deal with the odors from staining and sealing.<\/p>\n<h4>\nWood Choice<\/h4>\n<p>Your choice of wood can have a huge impact on the look of your floors. You want to choose something that will suit your style but also be durable enough to last.<\/p>\n<p>Oak is the most common wood used in wood flooring. This natural hardwood has excellent versatility and durability. It can be easily used in any room of your home. Cherry and Maple are also good choices for floors that are not only affordable but also attractive and solid.<\/p>\n<p>More exotic woods like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hunker.com\/12593703\/teak-vs-bamboo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Teak, Bamboo and Mesquite<\/a> are gaining popularity as more decadent and expensive floor coverings. If you like the finer things in life, this could be right for you.<\/p>\n<p>If you are working on a budget or are looking to match your existing boards in a historical home, you should consider using reclaimed wood. Not only is it a more environmentally conscious choice of material, but it can also save you a bundle on your flooring. Sand down and restain classic boards for a consistent and unique look. Even if you have a small area in need of repair, you may find a better match with reclaimed materials.<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">Which Wood Floors Are The Right Choice For Your Home?<\/h1>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.santaclaritahomeandgardenshow.com\/upgrade\/home-and-garden-news\/which-wood-floors-are-the-right-choice-for-your-home\/\">http:\/\/www.santaclaritahomeandgardenshow.com\/upgrade\/home-and-garden-news\/which-wood-floors-are-the-right-choice-for-your-home\/<\/a><\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\">Wood Floors \/ Wood Flooring \/ Santa Clarita Flooring \/ Flooring \/ Natural Wood \/ Finished Wood \/ Artificial Wood<\/h6>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are looking to update your home, installing wood floors can give you&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12677,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1179],"tags":[3577,3576,1599,3575,1104,3574,3573],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.10 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Which Wood Floors Are The Right Choice For Your Home?
