Wood Flooring: Essentials to Know
For a warm and durable floor, here are the key points to keep in mind:
Type of Flooring
Solid wood, engineered, or laminate — choose based on usage, budget, and desired aesthetics.
Size and Design
Wide or narrow planks, or patterns (herringbone, chevron) to create the desired atmosphere.
Subfloor and Installation
The floor must be completely dry and level; choose glued, floating, or nailed installation depending on the type of flooring.
Finishes and Maintenance
Oil, varnish, or wax — each finish provides different protection. Maintain regularly to preserve the wood’s beauty and longevity.
