There are many factors to consider when purchasing hardwood floors to upgrade the appearance of rooms and increase the resale value of homes. As a major flooring store in Torrance, CA, Maxwell Bros. Floors, Inc. presents detailed information to familiarize customers with all aspects of hardwood.
Combining elegance and practicality, gorgeous hardwood floors are worth investing in because they add lasting beauty to homes. Technological advances have led to engineered hardwood flooring for use in any room, including basements. Manufacturers attach several layers together to inhibit bowing or shrinking in cool areas prone to moisture. Maxwell Bros. Floors, Inc. labels clearly which options are best for residential or commercial properties and if installation below grade is advisable.
Hardwood floors come in four main styles. Strip flooring is a traditional type ranging in different widths and thicknesses. It creates the illusion a room is bigger than actual size. Plank flooring is sold in wider strip and looks rustic, as well as historical for antique purposes. Bursting with charm and featuring modern urethane finishes, hand-scraped floors are now highly sought after by homeowners. They emulate the appearance of reclaimed wood or centuries of use. Lastly, wire-brushed floors with urethane finishes are similar to hand-scraped, but the distressed application is not as obvious.
Maxwell Bros. Floors, Inc. recommends selecting the preferred species of wood in the beginning stages. Their special icons indicate the variety of species—maple, cherry, walnut, hickory, oak, beech, pecan, and exotic. Variations in grain patterns and shading differ greatly, and the shiny finish is on a scale of low for matte, medium for satin, and high for gloss. Matte is ideal in areas receiving lots of traffic. Higher gloss finishes complements formal spaces.
The final element of hardwood flooring is edges. Homeowners can choose between a smooth, flat square edge, micro bevel edge felt by touching with fingertips, and full bevel edge that separate strips visually through a groove.
