HARDWOOD FLOORING KANSAS CITY

Selecting the type of hardwood floor you want to add to your Kansas City home isn’t a difficult decision, but there are a few different items to consider. Of course, the ultimate goal is to pick a type of wood and stain that best fits your home and your style, but we'll help with the selection process and here is some information that will help with your process..

The Type of Flooring

Hardwood flooring comes in two different types: solid wood and engineered wood. Solid wood has been used for centuries for flooring. It looks great and lasts for a long time. Engineered wood is modified wood—it uses solid wood and adds layers of plastic laminate veneer on top of it to give it extra durability and keep it looking great for years. Both are excellent choices for flooring, but if you go with solid wood, you have a few extra options.

First, you can decide if you want to stain the wood or purchase it pre-finished. If you want to stain it, the installation takes a little longer and done more often during new home construction. However, you get to decide on the color and finish intensity. Pre-finished flooring is already stained and finished at the factory.

Second, you can decide if you want to buy solid wood flooring in strips, planks, or parquets. Strips can be fairly thick, while planks can be wider. Parquets are actually wooden slats that have been glued or fastened together. They can be used to add interesting patterns to your floor.

Different Woods

Another big decision is selecting the wood. You have a number of options. Oak, birch, pine or cherry all are great choices. Oak is going to be more budget-friendly, but if you have the money, you could go with something really exotic like Santos Mahogany or Brazilian Cherry.
