What Hardwood Flooring Means
Hardwood flooring is made from solid wood boards that can provide long service life and may be sanded and refinished when conditions allow.
Where It Is Commonly Used
It is most commonly installed in living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and other climate-controlled areas above grade.
Benefits
Solid hardwood offers natural variation, long-term value, and the ability to renew the surface through refinishing. It can become a lasting architectural feature of the home.
Important Considerations
Humidity movement, moisture, subfloor conditions, species hardness, finish type, and installation method matter. It is less forgiving of water exposure than many resilient floors.
