A hardwood floor, for many, is the best option in regards to flooring. However, you don’t want to rush too far into a single decision. There are several options for hardwood flooring, and it’s important you ask some key questions before making a choice.
Hardwood can fit a variety of design sensibilities.
Residential
To make the discussion a little easier, let’s split it into a residential and commercial area.
The fact of the matter is that when it comes to engineered wood flooring or any type, there may be similar considerations, but at a different priority level. For example, in the home, your largest concern should be how easy or hard things are to clean, especially if you have pets or small children.
If you buy a wood floor that’s more delicate or doesn’t have a strong finish, you may find yourself needing to make a replacement sooner than you planned. With this said, aesthetics matters also. Hardwood can be refined or rustic, depending on your choice. You just want to make sure that it matches the sensibility of the rest of the home.
Commercial
For a commercial setting, though, chances are that your top focus is going to be keeping pace with the hardwood floor installation cost. After all, many commercial spaces are larger than a home, and you may be doing wood in some areas and other options in others.
Make sure you’re looking out for less expensive wood, but also more durable wood. After all, a home may have 4 or so sets of feet walking around every day, while a business can have dozens or even hundreds. Be sure to invest in a strong durable finish.
