Oak Hardwood Wood Flooring
Oak flooring can add a great traditional touch to any home. For an addition of elegance and time tested quality, hardwood flooring is a great option. A high quality maple or oak wood flooring can really put a new face on a home, while also creating an elegance that is hard to equal. Hardwood flooring is available in a wide variety of shades, colors, patterns, and finishes. Finding the right wood flooring for your home can be a little overwhelming, but the process is very much worth the time. Although carpet is definitely an alternative, wood flooring has a traditional appeal that pushes up home values like nothing else.
The first step to take is to assess the value that hardwood can add to the home. Regions that undergo severe weather conditions and change temperature extremes every season, hardwood may have a tendency to crack and split with expansion and contraction. High humidity is also a real issue when it comes to hardwoods. Excess moisture can wick up from the subfloor and into the wood through spills, leading to warping and buckling over time. Crowning and cupping are issues associated with moisture exposure, and be an expensive problem. When a floor crowns or cups, it loses its originally level form, most frequently in the middle of the floor. This can be a difficult issue to correct once moisture has caused the problem.
Once you have done the research and concluded that hardwood is the right choice for you as a homeowner, there are many options from which to choose. Maple and oak are more traditional species, while cedar gives a more rustic and natural atmosphere. A higher gloss finish will result in a more reflective surface, while a lower gloss fits in with a darker atmosphere. The thickness of the boards is also an important factor in selecting the right wood flooring product. Thicker boards will be more durable and more resistant to moisture.
Moisture is very frequently behind hardwood flooring reliability issues. Avoid contact with moisture wherever possible, and clean up spills promptly. If storing wood flooring outdoors before installation, be sure to cover it with a tarp in case of any precipitation. Clean up spills on the wood flooring immediately in order to prevent eventual warping and cracking. If water beads up on the surface of the flooring, it is time for another coat of finishing on the flooring. Protect your investment, and your home flooring can last for generations.
