Choosing the Right Hardwood Floor is Harder Than It Should Be
When it comes to hardwood, there’s so much misinformation out there. In order to choose the right flooring, you have to consider a number of factors, including wood types, finishes, and climate compatibility, and even choosing a reliable wood flooring contractor. Tongue & Groove will act as your guide throughout this journey. You don’t just need floors—you need to have confidence in your choice. Hardwood offers the following benefits:
Timeless Beauty That Evolves with Your Home
Hardwood is naturally elegant and will never go out of style. In fact, it is the only flooring option that adds value to your home. You can opt for a clean, contemporary look or a rich, character filled reclaimed wood to tell your home's story. Trends fade, but the right wood will become more beautiful with time and wear.
Built to Last—When You Choose the Right Product
The right species, construction and finish can allow a hardwood floor to last for decades, sometimes even a century. When it comes to longevity, you have to make informed decisions. We will work with you to understand wood stability, wear layer thickness and finish types, so your floors last even in Colorado's dry climate.
Healthier Indoor Environment
Hardwood floors don't trap dust, pet dander or allergens like carpet does. They make sense for allergy-sensitive households. When you finish your floors with a low-VOC water-based or penetrating oil products, you get cleaner air and peace of mind. We can help you find finishes that match your style and health standards.
Easy to Maintain with the Right Care
Hardwood is durable, but not invincible. The most important piece of the puzzle is understanding how to care for it. Regular sweeping, proper humidity levels and maintenance coats can keep your floors in top shape without major work. We offer practical guidance to help you avoid common mistakes like vinegar cleaning myths or over-wetting your floors.
A Valuable Investment That Pays You Back
Hardwood flooring is one of the best ways to increase your property value. That's because it improves visual appeal and marketability since hardwood is considered a luxury feature. Additionally, it improves how you feel living in your space every day. With the right education, your investment will feel even smarter five years from now than it does today.

Solid Hardwood
The namesake of solid hardwood tells you everything you need to know. It’s natural wood through and through. These floors are strong, long-lasting and can be refinished several times, allowing them to last up to a century with proper care. Living in Colorado, narrow planks work well because they are less likely to expand and contract. However, we also offer wide-plank products that are kiln-dried at altitude, offering greater stability and performance
Engineered Hardwood
Engineered hardwood is often referred to as the man-made floor. It’s real hardwood, but it’s built a little differently. Instead of being made from one natural piece of wood, it has a real wood top layer and layered construction underneath. In the middle is a plywood composite core or a solid core. These floors withstand moisture and temperature changes, which is ideal for basements. As with all things, some products are made better than others.
In order to be considered antique reclaimed wood, it has to be at least 100 years old. The wood tends to be salvaged from historic buildings, barns and factories. The wood brings a lot of character and tends to be more stable than its freshly harvested counterparts. It is both sustainable and perfect for Colorado’s unpredictable climate.
Prefinished wood flooring is stained and sealed in a controlled environment before it arrives at our store. This makes for quick installations and less mess. Opt for these floors if you want to prioritize time, cleanliness and convenience.
Unfinished hardwood offers unlimited options for customization. You can bevel the edges, wire brush or antique the surface, or vary the grade of wood to match your design goals. It is installed raw, then sanded, stained and finished on-site. In other words, you get to choose the overall look and sheen of the planks. It gives you a smooth, flush surface without beveled edges. It will make custom designs, color matching and seamless repairs a breeze.
Radiant Heat and no Humidification Options
Not all hardwood performs well over radiant heating systems, especially in Colorado’s dry, high-altitude laminate. That’s why we offer five carefully vetted options that combine warmth, stability and long-term performance:
Riff and Quartered White Oak:
These wood planks are cut for maximum stability and are ideal for radiant heat due to their tight, vertical grain.
Antique Reclaimed Wood:
Naturally aged and air-dried over decades, reclaimed wood has already acclimated and responds well to radiant systems.
Kiln-Dried at Altitude White Oak:
Designed to reduce internal moisture and movement, this wood is compatible with consistent, low-level heating.
Click-Together Solid Core Engineered:
These floors are easy to install, highly dimensionally stable and well-suited to floating over radiant heating.
Solid Core, Balanced Board Engineered:
This premium, high-performance engineered flooring option is built for durability and superior heat tolerance.

FAQs
Colorado Hardwood Flooring FAQs
How do I know which type of hardwood flooring is right for my home?
Whether you choose solid, engineered, prefinished or unfinished hardwood comes down to your home’s conditions, design preferences and lifestyle. Our team will help you compare species, finishes and construction methods, so you can pick something that looks good and performs well over time.
What makes hardwood flooring a good choice for homes in Colorado?
Hardwood flooring is beautiful, adds resale value and offers healthier indoor air quality than its carpet counterpart. Humidity is typically low in Colorado so choosing the right wood species and installation method is essential.
What's the difference between prefinished and unfinished hardwood floors?
Prefinished floors are stained and sealed in the factory, making for faster, cleaner installation with tough, durable finishes. Unfinished hardwood is finished following on-site installation, which allows you to customize its color, sheen and surface smoothness.
Can existing hardwood floors be repaired or extended into new rooms?
Yes. Hardwood floors with water damage, scratches or dents can be repaired. Additionally, existing hardwood floors can be extended into other rooms while matching the grain, color and finish.
What kind of maintenance do hardwood floors need in Colorado's climate?
Wood is hygroscopic, meaning it reacts to moisture in the air. In Colorado, you have to maintain stable humidity (30-55%) and have a regular cleaning routine. A screen and coat every few years can protect your finish and lessen the need for refinishing down the line.
