Hardwood Flooring: a Timeless Choice

Just any ol' floor may be fine for some people, but those with hardwood flooring know that wood has a personality all of its own. This understated yet bold trait helps hardwood flooring mingle well with the design in any room.

Be it pine flooring, oak flooring or heart pine flooring, wooden flooring creates in each room a unique, finished work of art - one of the planet's natural masterpieces assembled by the careful hand of mankind.

Hardwood flooring also offers designers the opportunity to install green flooring in a room. With energy saving engineered flooring, or reclaimed wood, or both, (engineered flooring made with reclaimed wood), one can have the luxury of natural flooring without taxing the environment.

These are two main types of hardwood flooring: Engineered Wood Flooring, and Antique Wood Flooring.

Engineered Wood Flooring

Designers who want the natural beauty of hard wood flooring and the many choices offered by modern wood-working techniques, can turn to engineered wood flooring as an easy option. Each fabricated strip of an engineered wood floor can have the same distinguishing characteristics of a natural wood floor.

Craftsmen have for years worked with wood. Now, with modern technology, these same craftsmen have elevated the art of wood-working to develop engineered wood flooring. Such floors are comprised of several layers of wood, expertly pressed and glued together to form solid strips.

Antique Wood Flooring

Like the garage sale shopper who finds a rare painting being sold for a dime, the owner of an antique wood floor knows the true value of discovered beauty. The wood that goes into antique wood flooring is wood that has been saved from the brink of decomposition.

Rescued from the devouring elements of wild nature, each strip or plank of old wood flooring has some unknown story to tell. Close your eyes and imagine the many colors: bright yellows, dark browns and medium, coffee colored specks that interact with each other. These elements dance from plank to plank, seemingly weaving together a story that could be hundreds of years old.

Enjoy the pleasures of antique hardwood flooring - a work of art and a treasure for generations.
