There is little else that will instantly enhance the value and beauty of your home like wood flooring.  According to the National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA), 90 percent of real estate agents said that houses with wood floors sell faster and for higher prices than houses without wood floors.

When it comes to choosing the perfect wood flooring for your home, there are several elements to consider.  Our interior designers can meet with you to discuss the details of your custom wood flooring, including such details as:

Your lifestyle will help dictate the type and style of wood flooring you should select.  For example, if you have kids or dogs, you will want a harder floor that can with stand extra wear and tear.  Some of the types and styles to choose from are factory finished, unfinished, solid, engineered, strip, plank, hand scrapped, parquet and acrylic impregnated.

There are more than 50 species of wood flooring, including domestic and exotic species that span a wide spectrum in color, hardness and price.

The most common finishes use a urethane base, which stays on the surface of the wood to provide your flooring with a durable, water resistant coat.

Borders, inlays, medallions and hand distressing are all beautiful details that can add personalization to your wood flooring.

Once hard to maintain, wood floors are now easier than ever to live on, due to advances in wood flooring stains and finishes.  Basic preventative maintenance, such as sweeping with a soft bristle broom and occasionally using a professional wood floor cleaning product are all your floors need to maintain their natural beauty.

Installing wood flooring in your home is also a good way to “go green”.  Since wood is a natural resource, it is renewable and recyclable, making it more ecologically friendly than tile or carpet.
