The idea behind visiting a hardwood flooring showroom and consulting with experts is to help beginners understand and plan for their new hardwood floors. Before you visit a showroom, we recommend that you do a bit of research so that you don’t come in completely blind. Here’s how to prepare for the initial consultation with a hardwood flooring expert.
Preparing for hardwood floor consultation
There are a bunch of logistics that you should have handy when you consult with a hardwood flooring expert. Are you doing your entire home or just a few rooms? What is the style and architecture of the house? Are you remodeling or building a new home? What is the shape and dimensions of the area in question, and are there any oddities that will make the installation more complicated, like odd angles or beams and columns that break up the space that you’re considering?
Come prepared with details about the space that needs flooring.
The purpose of the room will also play a factor in your choices. Is it a high traffic room? Is the flooring going to be exposed to a lot of dirt, mud, and water being tracked in from outside? Is it the kitchen or bathroom where moisture and fluctuating temperatures will be a factor? No room is off-limits, but we do want to match you with the best flooring so you can enjoy your floors for a long, long time.
We want to guide you in the best way possible, so the more we know about your home and the type of space we are dealing with, the better we’ll be able to point you in the right direction and help you make the best choices.
Don’t be afraid to ask questions so that you make informed decisions.
Style of hardwood floor
Most homeowners have a style that they gravitate towards, but even if you’re open to suggestions and looking for inspiration, there are probably clues in your home that will point you towards the best style of floor. The style of your home and the style of your furniture will impact the species that you end up choosing. You want the floors to match what you already have, and be universal enough so that you can change up your style without having to redo the entire floor. We will also help you with the pros and cons of various species, as well as color choices.
