Best Rooms for Hardwood
Both solid and engineered hardwood floors are designed for lasting beauty and performance but they have different performance attributes affecting where they can be installed. Installation of solid hardwood is recommended for rooms above ground only, and generally not in bathrooms where humidity and pooling water may cause wood to warp.
The unique construction of engineered wood makes it less likely to react to fluctuations in humidity and temperature. So you can install engineered flooring on any level of your home, including dampness-prone places like finished basements.
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Preventative Hardwood Maintenance
Preventative maintenance for your new hardwood flooring is crucial to keeping your flooring looking their best. If you’re a pet owner, make sure you’re frequently trimming your pet’s nails. When entering the room, remove your high heels and heavy boots before walking across the floor. Hardwood flooring is also sensitive to the indoor climate of your home; use a humidifier during the dry heating season and run a dehumidifier during inclement weather to prevent accidental warping.
Layered looks are in style! Area rug on top of your hardwood flooring would protect and enhance the interior design too.
