Quality & Craftsmanship with Hardwood Flooring

Hardwood flooring is known for its beauty, durability and versatility. It’s a vital piece of your home’s overall design, and is a major component to quality, craftsmanship and artistic style to each space within your walls. Here are three ways hardwood floors lend themselves to adding a sense of quality and craftsmanship to your home.

3 Ways Hardwood Flooring Provides Quality & Craftsmanship

1. They give the style a foundation. Flooring provides the foundation for every home's style. When it comes to materials, there are a lot of options to choose from; hardwood floors are a popular choice because of their subtle beauty, rich depth, high quality and dependable durability. In addition to this, reclaimed flooring provides an additional sense of style - one with rich character and history. On the other hand, engineered floors provide many of the same benefits in a much more cost-effective way. Needless to say, there are a lot of options for you to choose between as the foundation of your home’s style.

2. They offer a wide variety of choices. There may be a few materials that come to mind when you think of 20th century flooring (such as vinyl or cork), but a major key to modern quality flooring is sustainability. Eco-friendly hardwood floors are available in nearly every species (look for the FSC-certified label), as are alternatives to traditional wood like bamboo.

One of the fantastic benefits to hardwood flooring is how versatile it is. By changing the width of the planks, color of the stain or species type, you can give the space a completely new look and feel. In addition to the types of hardwood floors available, the patterns you choose, such as parquet, can give your home an air of traditional luxury and craftsmanship that harkens back to the 18th century or late Victorian era.

3. They anchor the room. The floor can make or break the room. Before you move onto moldings and furniture, consider how you want the flooring to create the foundation for the overall design. Consider your family’s sense of style as well as which hardwood floors will provide the design you’re striving for as well as the durability your family needs.
