What is Hardwood Flooring?
Hardwood floors are those made of trees that grow much slower. This leads them to be far denser, and more durable when compared to softwood counterparts. As a result, they last longer and require less maintenance. To find more information about the durability of species consult the National Oak Flooring Manufacturers Association (NOMFA) using the Wood Hardness Rating scale. Besides these characteristics, here are the main reasons why hardwoods have been one of the preferred flooring materials in America for centuries.

Hardwood floors offer an ample range of appearances. This means that every plank, board, or strip used on a hardwood floor has its own individual colors, patterns, and stains. Plus, there are dozens of different species of endemic, imported, common, and exotic hardwoods to choose from, each with their own particular color, grain, and characteristics. Moreover, you can choose between pre-finished and unfinished hardwood floors. Either way, a hardwood floor brings in one of a kind element to your home.

It is the ideal flooring alternative if you or a family member sufferers from allergies. Plus, another benefit is that it contributes to maintaining healthier indoor air quality.
