Biography:

Solid wood flooring will last more than 100 years, and the finish
can be easily renewed when needed. Just having
wood floors increases the value of your home.



Not too long ago, the only choice you had was the old-fashioned solid wood tongue and groove strips
in maple or oak. Today, wood flooring can be planks from
old barns, exotic woods, pre-finished engineered
wood strips which eliminate the dust and disruption of finishing on site.

You even can have wood laminate flooring, which
isn't wood, but looks like wood at a much lower cost.


SOLID WOOD FLOORING - Solid wood floors, although beautiful, can't
be used everywhere. They must be nailed to a sub-floor. This makes solid
wood unsuitable for use directly over concrete.


Adding a sub-floor between the concrete and the wood flooring might result in a height
problem where the floor meets an adjoining room. Moisture causes
wood to expand, so it's not appropriate in basements.

Humidity can lead to squeaking and buckling.
