🌳 Choosing Hardwood? Start With the Tree. 🌳
Not all hardwood floors are the same. Different wood species offer unique colors, grain patterns, durability levels, and natural character.
Here’s a quick guide to some of the most popular choices:
🌳 White Oak – Durable, versatile, and today’s most popular hardwood.
🌳 Hickory – Bold grain patterns, high color variation, and exceptional durability.
🌳 Walnut – Rich, dark tones with a timeless, luxurious look.
🌳 Maple – Clean, smooth grain and a light, modern appearance.
🌳 Red Oak – Warm tones and classic character that never go out of style.
One thing to remember: knots, mineral streaks, color variation, and chatter marks are often natural characteristics of real hardwood—not defects.
