When you decide to go with hardwood floors, there are still plenty of options to choose from. The first, and probably the most importantof these,is the particular species of wood. The species determines many things, including the hardness of the floor, whichgives you the durability you’re looking for in a flooring product. The harder the species, the more durable it will be, which is important for homes with higher levels of traffic. Different species also hold stains differently, comes in different natural color variations,and offer differing grain and texture patterns as well.

You’ll also be choosing the stain color you prefer. You’ll want to consult different samples for this, because stain can look a bit different on different species. It can also differ between finishes, which is yet another option you’ll have to choose.

Choosing the perfect finish might seem simple, but each one is a little bit different. For instance, the classic choice is the shiny, sleek finish that is the first to come to mind when wood floors are mentioned. But there are also hand scraped, distressed, vintage and even more. Finishes like hand scraped and distressed, can often hide much of the wear and tear that normally shows through on wood floors. Speak with your flooring professional about even more options.
