SO MANY CHOICES WHEN IT COMES TO HARDWOOD FLOORING

The majority of us are uncertain about what kind of timber to use when it comes to floors since there are many options available to us. It can be somewhat overwhelming, especially when you don't understand what wood would be the most acceptable for your home and in particular the room it will be in.

This is why you should always use an expert who participates in hardwood flooring and knows their oak flooring from their birch flooring to their walnut flooring. In order to accomplish the best results, it's well worth consulting with an expert to make sure that hardwood flooring is both suitable for your house and provides you with a gorgeous floor covering that lasts for many years to come.

Your hardwood floor expert will examine the area where you want to have hardwood floors, as well as ask questions about your living habits and how much traffic comes from and out of your house. In this manner they can recommend a kind of wood which will resist the wear and tear it will be subjected to over its life.

MAPLE

There are 115 species of maple. Only 5 commercially important species grow in the U.S. Two of the five are hard rock maple and sugar maple. Properties: Maple is so hard and resistant to shocks that it is often used for bowling alley floors. Its diffuse evenly sized pores give the wood a fine texture and even grain. Maple that has a curly grain is often used for violin backs (the pattern formed is known as fiddleback figure). Burls, leaf figure, and birds-eye figures found in maple are used extensively for veneers. The Birds eye figure in maple is said to be the result of stunted growth and is quite rare. Uses: Maple is used extensively for American colonial furniture, especially in medium and lower priced categories. It can also be stained to simulate cherry wood, which it resembles.

WALNUT

Walnut is one of the most versatile and popular cabinet making woods. It grows in Europe, America and Asia.There are many different varieties. Walnut is strong, hard and durable, without being excessively heavy. It has excellent woodworking qualities, and takes finishes well. The wood is light to dark chocolate brown in color with a straight grain in the trunk. Wavy grain is present toward the roots, and walnut stumps are often dug out and used as a source of highly figured veneer. Large burls are common. Walnut solids and veneers show a wide range of figures, including strips, burls, mottles, crotches, curls and butts. European walnut is lighter in color and slightly finer in texture than American black walnut, but otherwise comparable. Walnut is used in all types of fine cabinet work, especially 1 8th century reproductions.
