Hardwood Floor Options

Wood Options

Multiple species of hardwood are available including oak, walnut, hickory, maple, mahogany, and cherry to name a few. When you look closely, these beautiful woods offer a depth of character all their own. Let us be your guides, we offer vast knowledge and resources of every species, both exotic and domestic. If you know what you want, great! If you dont, we're more than happy to assist you in your selection.

 

OAK 
The Oak Family includes as many as 600 species, found chiefly in Northern Temperate Zones and Polynesia. Oaks are cultivated for ornament and are prized as a major source of hardwood lumber. The wood is durable, tough, and attractively grained. Common uses include shipbuilding, construction, furniture, railroad ties, barrels, tool handles, veneer and flooring.

 

WALNUT 
Walnut is unquestionably the finest wood in the world. Our forefathers sought it out and used it lavishly in their homes, barns and fences. The warm brown wood finishes beautifully. It is easy to work, yet durable. It shrinks and swells less than any other wood, which makes it an excellent choice for flooring.

 

HICKORY 
Hickory Pecan trees are widely known for their sweet edible nuts that are used in candies and pastries. Pecan trees grow mainly in the southern Mississippi Valley, as far west as central Texas to southern Georgia. Hickory Pecan wood is known for its fine-grained beauty, strength and durability. Uses include paneling, cabinetry, furniture, veneer and flooring.

 

EXOTICS 
The classification “Exotics” is used to describe imported woods. Exotics usually refers to expensive and increasingly rare hardwoods from tropical regions, including Africa and Polynesia. Exotic woods swing in a wide range of applications, from musical instruments, cabinetry, pool cues to incredibly beautiful wood floors.

What to Expect

Once you’ve decided to install or refinish a wood floor, you may wonder what will happen next? Knowing what to expect during, and after the work is completed will help ensure a high-quality finished product.

- For new installations, the wood will need to acclimate, which will vary from five days to two weeks.

- If your floors are being sanded, finished or refinished- be prepared for some noise and disruption. Dust containment systems can minimize debris, but no system is 100% effective, so cover any items that you want to keep dust-free. When the finish is applied, stay off your floors until it has dried for at least two days. The time required will vary depending on the type of finish used.

- After the finish has dried, put felt pads on the bottoms of all furniture to minimize scratches and dents. Place scatter rugs at all entrances, avoiding those with rubber backs, which can discolor your floor. Avoid walking on your floors with cleats or high heels in disrepair.

 

Keep in mind that no two floors will be identical. Variations in wood appearance are completely normal and expected. As your floor ages, some color change may occur. This is normal but can be minimized by limiting exposure to direct sunlight and periodically moving furniture and rugs. Cracks are normal as well and will appear and disappear between floor boards during seasons of high and low humidity.
