Types of Hardwood Flooring
Hardwood floors come in various types, such as:
- Oak: Comes in two varieties — red and white oak — both of which have pronounced grain patterns and can seamlessly blend with traditional and contemporary interior styles. Oak has a high density, making it highly durable.
- Cherry: Adds a touch of warmth and richness to a room with its warm hue. Cherry isn’t as dense as oak, so it’s slightly less durable.
- Maple: Looks understated with a fine-grain pattern and light color. Maple is ideal for high-traffic areas like the living room because of its high density.
- Walnut: Offers a rich look with pronounced grain patterns. Walnut is slightly less durable than oak and shows scratches more than lighter wood.
- Hickory: Looks appealing with distinctive grain pattern and light to medium brown tones. Hickory resists scratches and dents exceptionally well, making it a perfect choice for busy households.
- Birch: Looks similar to maple but at a more affordable price. Birch has fine-grain patterns and brings an airy feel to a room. It isn’t as dense as other hardwoods but withstands everyday wear and tear pretty well.
- Mahogany: An exotic flooring option that looks beautiful with its reddish-brown hue and intricate grain pattern. Mahogany is durable and blends well with modern interiors.
- Brazilian cherry: Looks beautiful with its reddish-brown hue and is the most durable of all hardwood floors. Brazilian cherry blends well with traditional and contemporary interior styles.
Hardwood Flooring Installation in San Diego
Hardwood floor installation is a complex process that’s best left to the pros. Unless you have flooring experience, there’s a high chance that you will install the planks incorrectly.
First, remove the old flooring, residue, and baseboard. Then vacuum the floor. Once done, there are three ways you can install hardwood floors:
Glue-down install method
It’s a cost-effective option where hardwood floors are clicked in place and secured with glue. Our pros usually don’t prefer this method unless you have concrete floors.
Nail-down install method
The floors are attached in place with nails. Once installed, the nails are hardly visible. This installation gives a perfect look, but you should install a plywood floor underneath to get a perfect look.
Click-lock install method
The floors are clicked together in place. Our pros usually prefer this method because it works in various cases regardless of whether you want to install over cement or a floor with radiant heat.
