Oak: the ‘king’ of species
Oak is the most commonly chosen domestic hardwood flooring. Designers often say oak will change the face of interior design because it coordinates with almost anything. In addition, oak's light brown color is hard with tight, smooth grain and distinctive texture. Other popular domestics include maple, hickory, and walnut.

Cost-effective and long-lasting beauty
Unless there's structural damage such as termites, there are no replacement costs. Wood floors have been known to last up to 100 years. When the floors start to look excessively scratched, dull, or worn, sanding and refinishing is all it takes to bring it back to luster. You can have the floors sanded and stained another color if you want a different look.
Wood floors are easy to maintain
Sweep or dust mop regularly so dirt won't embed and clean with a hardwood cleaner periodically. Wipe excess liquid immediately and, other than that, employ some easy, everyday care routines. These include placing mats at entrances, using protective furniture pads to avoid scratching and trimming pet nails.
Two versions of hardwood: solid and engineered
Engineered wood flooring could be just what you need if you want both beauty and practicality. You'll have your beautiful oak, maple, or hickory floor with knots, grains, swirls, textures, color variations, and more.
However, the difference between solid and engineered is in the construction. Engineered hardwood is layered, which gives it more stability and a better ability to handle water. Both versions have long lifespans, can be sanded and refinished, and add value to a property.
