Hardwood is just that – a natural material that is dense and durable for generations to come. Once installed it is easy to clean and maintain. If some unforeseen damage occurs the floors can be repaired, resanded, and refinished. This is a flexible material and you can even change colors. Try that with vinyl, tile, or carpet.
Take your pick - anything from ash to zebra wood. Oak was a staple of the wood floor industry for hundreds of years and is still popular. Trends today include imported wood, wider boards, longer boards, and darker colors. Reclaimed and salvage wood is another trendy choice, although their selection is somewhat limited and may come with unwanted issues. Visiting homes, flooring dealers, and searching online will provide many options to fit your décor. Chicago homeowners are no exception when it comes to installing hardwood floors.
