TrendsThe biggest trend in wood now is European White Oaks, which are usually wire brushed.  These are typically wider and longer than the typical handscraped Hickory woods.

We also carry handscraped or distressed wood. The main advantage to the distressed wood is that over time as it inevitably gets scratched and dented, it just looks more distressed.  After the same period of time, a traditional smooth floor looks scratched and worn.

DurabilityA hardwood floor is beautiful and adds a warm look to any room. But, since it is a natural product you should expect scratches and dents in your floor. Wood is porous by nature and is not as durable as other floors. If this would bother you, then another flooring option might be a better choice. If having a warm and natural hardwood floor is worth it to you, then come see our selection of woods.

Shop with Us – We can help you pick out the right wood for your area, design your floor, and explain how to care for it. Also, we can answer ‘do-it-yourself’ questions or refer an installer who will give you a free estimate. Our previous customers say we really helped them understand about different styles, how wood flooring is made, the different species of wood, beveling options, board densities, and finishings.
