Wooden Floors Variety

Adding a wooden floor to your house can add not just aesthetic beauty to your home or apartment, but it can also add value when it is time to sell. Now, there is a variety of woods to choose before you get started on your wooden floor project.

As you may recall, there is two main types of wood, soft and hard. Softwood, in general, will add a more relaxed and casual touch to your home. On the other hand, hardwood can be a bit more serious and is great to use to create a more formal tone.

Here are some wood species to consider for your project:


1) Red Oak: This is one of the most popular choices for wooden floors in America. 

One of its main properties is it's high resistance to wear.

2) White Oak: This is also a very popular choice for hardwood floors in the USA. 

Although the difference in price is not much, White Oak tends to be harder than Red Oak, which makes it better on resisting dents. 

3) Birch Another popular selection for hardwood floors is birch. A hardwood by nature, birch also shares the properties of hardness and durability. In addition, birch has interesting variations from light to hard areas. 

These are just a few of the many available options for wooden floors available. But without a doubt, a hardwood floor will add a touch of nature to your residence.
