Hardwood flooring is timeless and adds sophistication to any room. Like many other flooring options, there are a variety of colors and plank sizes to choose from. This type of flooring can be made of natural or engineered hardwood.
The price of the hardwood depends on the type. More exotic woods such as teak or bamboo may be more expensive. When determining the price of wood, many companies calculate cost by dollars/per square foot.
Hardwood floors require maintenance, especially if you want them to shine. This type of flooring may not work well in rooms that have a lot of traffic, because the surface can be scuffed and scratched. If you have large dogs, you may want to trim their nails, so they don't scratch the wood surface.
Since the surface of hardwood can be cold, some homeowners opt for heated floors, especially those who live in colder climates. For more information on hardwood flooring, visit the National Wood Flooring Association website at www.woodfloors.org.
