1. Wide variety of Hardwood Species
Oak is a popular choice when selecting hardwood flooring if you want a conventional look for your home. However, if you want a unique look and feel, you have a wide range of options including cherry, hickory, walnut, maple and many others.
2. Wide variety of flooring board sizes:
The 2 ¼ inch size of the hardwood flooring board is a commonly produced, stocked, and affordable option available. But you can select hardwood flooring boards in widths from 3 to 12 inches. You can either use flooring boards of a single length for a uniform look or apply multiple lengths for a random look. The wider the floor area, the more seasonal separations can occur between the flooring planks.
3. Natural colors are an option when selecting hardwood flooring:
Some hardwood species are so beautiful in their natural color, they don’t necessarily need any added colors. You can order samples of hickory, cherry or walnut and see the natural visual appeal of these species yourself.
4. Prefinished flooring is convenient:
The time it takes to sand, stain and recoat the newly installed flooring can be avoided by choosing factory finished flooring. This type of flooring takes less time, effort and resources to install it.

The best way to make a floor finish last is to sweep or swiffer it regularly to keep dirt and grit away, preventing abrasion and scratching on the floor. One important thing to remember is that a lower shine floor shows lesser wear.

7. Use engineered flooring in the basements:
In both high moisture areas and basements, engineered flooring is a good choice. The engineered flooring has a thin layer of hardwood with a cross banded plywood base and can be glued down to the concrete. This makes the flooring more stable and does not necessarily require nailing down like a solid hardwood floor does. It is also the most resistant wood flooring material for humid areas, which is an important consideration in the type of floor you’re selecting. Hardwood flooring is known to be vulnerable to consistently high levels of moisture. Engineered flooring can give you the look of solid hardwood, without the vulnerability.

Selecting hardwood flooring can increase the value of your property. They are a good long-term investment and can actually help in the resale of your home, that too faster and on a higher price.

Hardwood floors are very easy to clean on a day-to-day basis. They do not retain any foreign agents like dirt, dust or pollen. Selecting hardwood flooring is a great ‘hygiene-friendly’ strategy.
