Birch is a hard and versatile wood, and great for flooring. It is perfect for commercial spaces or busy rooms. Birch also has enough color variation to appeal to all decorating tastes. T&G Flooring has several selections of solid and engineered birch flooring from trusted brands.
Birch flooring for home and business
Birch flooring is a heavy duty shock resistant floor. If you’re installing commercial flooring in a commercial space, birch floors can stand up to a steady flow of foot traffic. Having birch floors in your home will also give you room to drop a few things on the floor, or keep your heels on for a house party without causing major damage.
Physical characteristics of Birch
Besides being tough and durable, it also has beautiful color variations. Depending on your decorating style, you can find birch that is light and creamy, or darker in color. Some birch varieties will also have a very cool mix of golden toned, mixed with brownish and red tones. The grain is smooth and subtle, giving your birch floors a nice even look.
Staining the wood
It is possible to stain birch wood the color you want. However, there is a distinct benefit to not staining your birch floors. Choosing wood that has the color you want without staining will maximize the longevity of your floors. Birch is tough, so you won’t have to repair or refinish a lot of damage. However, over time little dents and dings will appear, plus the physical appearance of the wood will change as your floors age. Leaving the wood in its natural color, and not staining it, will let you sand, refinish, and renew your floors more times. You won’t have to worry about sanding past the stain and having to restain your floors, as well.
