Harwood flooring has a natural beauty that will give any room a very warm feeling. When building a new home, adding an addition or just taking up old carpeting that doesn't have a harwood floors beneath, you should look at the wide variety of wood flooring available. Unlike carpet, 3/4" thick wood flooring can take wear and tear and last well over 100 years with minimum maintenance (see our maintenance FAQs). When the surface finish wears, or gets scratched over time, you can recoat or sand and refinish the floors to make them new again. The variety and colors of wood flooring available today, make it easy to find one that will compliment any design ideas you have. Harwood flooring is also the only floor covering that will add resale value to your home.

Species
Decisions abound when selecting just the right floor r for the rooms in your home. There are several species, colors and grain variations to consider. After walls, the floor represents the largest expanse of pattern and color in a room. The floor should compliment the fabrics, furnishings and accessories of the space, and enhance the unique personality of the room as a whole. Darker colors are most often used in formal or traditional interiors, while lighter colors work best in country, casual and contemporary settings.

Characteristics
The natural characteristics of wood include the grain pattern, dark gray or black marks and knots of various sizes. They result from the unique growth process of each species and are influenced by sunlight, soil and climate. Minerals can appear in several forms including light gray streaks across board and black lines in the grain. Grain patterns and knots both within and between species.

wood is a natural material and exhibits a wide range of diversity of grain. Additionally, each plank or strip will absorb stain differently. Darker stains usually have a greater impact on masking the natural variations of the wood. The lighter the stain, the more prominent the natural characteristics will be. A white stain (pickling) shows the most variation between boards.

Grades & Styles
Lumber is graded based upon the intensity of variations of the characteristics described above, with clear grade exhibiting the least number of natural characteristics beyond the distinct grain pattern of each species. woods styles come in strips, planks, or parquet tiles with numerous edge treatments such as square, micro, and beveled edges. You can choose from a wide range of stains to complement your d�cor and from several types of finish.

Hardness
All tree species used for harwood flooring are durable enough to withstand the wear and tear of daily life. However, this does not that mean wood will not dent. As a natural material, wood is made of thousands of cells. When the tree is alive, these cells are filled with water. When the tree is cut into lumber, the moisture in those cells is replaced with air. If a heavy object is dropped on the floor, the air filled spaces will compress, leaving a dent or gash. Heavy furniture and appliances, over time, will also compress and air filled cells of the wood.

Hardness is determined with the Janka rating system. This is the force it takes to drive a .444 inch steel ball to a depth where half the ball is imbedded into the wood. This is a relative hardness table for common hardwood floor materials. Do not take hardness to mean "best".

The skill of the craftsperson doing the scraping makes a huge difference in how distressed hardwood floors appear. The best floors mimic the wormholes, splits and other natural appearance of truly distressed wood floors, rather than just sanding or wearing the surface.Hardwood floors vary in their finishes, and many distressed wood floor installers allow the homeowner to apply their own finish to their distressed hardwood flooring if they choose, but the best choice is to have your distressed hardwood prefinished by the manufacturer.

Hardwood flooring has rocked the groundwork of interior designing, making homes look more elegant, rustic and pleasant to the eye, depending on the kind of wood used. The wood flooring industry has gained a good amount of the market share, making it possible to use almost any wood for flooring.

Factory Pre-finished Hardwood Flooring. Some of the factors affecting factory-finished wood floors before installation: UV-cured - Factory coatings that are treated before application by Ultra Violet lighting instead of a heat source. Polyurethane - A tough, durable and clear finish applied to wood flooring as a protection layer against wear. Urethane-Acrylic - A somewhat different chemical composition compared to Polyurethane with equal benefits. Ceramic - An advanced technology which incorporates "space-age" ceramics for improved resistance to abrasion of the floor's wear layer. Aluminum Oxide - Component that's added to urethane for extra abrasion resistance; the chemical additive is found more on higher grade flooring. Acrylic Impregnated - Acrylic monomers injected directly into the wood's cell structure to increase its hardness, then is further finished with an additional wear layer over the flooring surface.

When hardwood floors went out of style years ago, one of the reasons was that many wood floors were distressed. At the time, this was a bad thing; the floors looked old and worn, and people wanted new, shiny hardwood floors, or, at one point, carpeting to cover the old hardwoods.

Just a few of the many advantages to using carpet in your home: Carpeting adds warmth and since it's soft, it's easier on children's knees. Carpet is less noisy than a hard surface floor. Carpeting is available in a wide spectrum of color tones and hues. Carpet colors easily compliment rooms with patterned wall coverings. Carpet can conceal sub-floor irregularities, which is something that can't be done with hard surface flooring. Carpet can be applied to a wide variety of substrates on all grade levels, even basement concrete slabs. Carpeting is economical compared to many hard surface products with total installation costs being much less.( Info on National Floors Direct)

Laminate Flooring Installation: Laminate floors are intended to be floated over many types of subfloors; they're never actually attached to any substrate directly. That is, the floor lays right on top of the subfloor, which can be concrete, wood, or an even existing floor. This allows for the laminate floor to contract and expand freely as the environment of the room changes. Laminate flooring comes in squares and planks of different shapes and sizes. Each plank has tongue & groove edges for connecting the planks together.

About National Floors Direct
Wood from species like Bamboo, Cork, Oak, Cumaru, Beech, Santos Mahogany, Teak, Walnut, and Brazilian Cherry are rapidly picking up as popular hardwood flooring choices. The hardwood floors might set the ambience of the room, giving it a different look and feel. Besides, other factors like foot traffic, purpose of room, and location should be considered since each of the hardwood floors has different benchmarks for wear and tear, resistance, moisture etc. So the hardwood materials durability, toughness, darkness have to be considered. Keeping all of this in mind, besides the ever-durable, timeless oak hardwood, hardwood floors made of Australian Cypress and Brazilian Cherry are becoming a rage.Those who have never seen it before cannot easily spot Australian Cypress flooring. It has an earthy tone and bears a resemblance to knotty pine. This gives it an added advantage, making it balance with the furniture around the house because of its subtle brown, shadowed amber and sporadic green. The Australian Cypress hardwood flooring is much more durable and is able to hide signs of wear because of its intricate knots and swirls. In the past five to seven years, another wood species has become very popular as hardwood flooring, known as Brazilian Cherry or Jatoba, Brazilian Cherry hardwood flooring has a different appeal from that of traditional hardwood floorings made of Oaks and Maple. It has darker shades of tan and reddish browns that will complement practically every piece of furniture in your home.

On-site Finished Hardwood Floor - For custom, stained hardwood flooring, or a wood floor that matches your existing trim, an on-site finish is the way to go. This means you begin with bare (unfinished) hardwood, then the floor is sanded, stained and finished in your home. Other advantages include being able to sand smooth any uneven heights, or irregularities in wood planks. Be prepared; the process can take several days to complete.

Some underlayments offer additional benefits such as reducing noise vibrations, or acting as a moisture barrier. Tongue and grooved edges of laminate floors are sealed to prevent moisture from damaging the inner core structure.

Factory Pre-finished Hardwood Flooring. Some of the factors affecting factory-finished wood floors before installation: UV-cured - Factory coatings that are treated before application by Ultra Violet lighting instead of a heat source. Polyurethane - A tough, durable and clear finish applied to wood flooring as a protection layer against wear. Urethane-Acrylic - A somewhat different chemical composition compared to Polyurethane with equal benefits. Ceramic - An advanced technology which incorporates "space-age" ceramics for improved resistance to abrasion of the floor's wear layer. Aluminum Oxide - Component that's added to urethane for extra abrasion resistance; the chemical additive is found more on higher grade flooring.

The wood flooring industry has gained a good amount of the market share, making it possible to use almost any wood for flooring. Though, there are plenty of choices in hardwood flooring, the latest species that are used are becoming a trend, since they add the old world elegance. Manufacturers have moved on from the traditional use of oak floorings to exotic species that are imported from Africa, Brazil and elsewhere from the world.

Info on National Floors Direct => The skill of the craftsperson doing the scraping makes a huge difference in how distressed hardwood floors appear. The best floors mimic the wormholes, splits and other natural appearance of truly distressed wood floors, rather than just sanding or wearing the surface.Hardwood floors vary in their finishes, and many distressed wood floor installers allow the homeowner to apply their own finish to their distressed hardwood flooring if they choose, but the best choice is to have your distressed hardwood prefinished by the manufacturer.

In addition, prefinished hardwood floors allow the distressed hardwood floor planks to move very slightly in reaction to the humidity in the home. Hardwood floors finished on-site are not able to move independently, and the planks split slightly apart with this movement. When installing a distressed hardwood floor, it makes sense to have the very best, which means prefinished hardwood floors.When deciding on distressed hardwood flooring, another thing to consider is the shade and finish. Darker finishes show the scraping more. Before selecting a distressed hardwood floor, it is a good idea to visit manufacturers� web sites or visit dealers� showrooms to see and feel the various distressed hardwood flooring options.When buying distressed hardwood flooring, some homeowners worry about the extra expense of hand-scraped distressed wood floors. Hand-scraped distressed hardwood floors are not cheap, but the extra investment is worthwhile.

A factory-finished hardwood floor usually has several coatings applied to the wood surface. Many suppliers are now applying 6-10 coats of ultra-violet cured urethane. By not having to duplicate this on a job site, which could take installers several extra days, flooring retailers and builders alike have good reasons to sell pre-finished hardwood floors, especially since an installation can be completed in a single day.

In addition, when the time comes for selling the home, machine-scraped distressed wood floors will not add as much value to the home as authentic, hand-scraped distressed hardwood flooring.

National Floors Direct => Factory Pre-finished Hardwood Flooring. Some of the factors affecting factory-finished wood floors before installation: UV-cured - Factory coatings that are treated before application by Ultra Violet lighting instead of a heat source. Polyurethane - A tough, durable and clear finish applied to wood flooring as a protection layer against wear. Urethane-Acrylic - A somewhat different chemical composition compared to Polyurethane with equal benefits. Ceramic - An advanced technology which incorporates "space-age" ceramics for improved resistance to abrasion of the floor's wear layer. Aluminum Oxide - Component that's added to urethane for extra abrasion resistance; the chemical additive is found more on higher grade flooring. Acrylic Impregnated - Acrylic monomers injected directly into the wood's cell structure to increase its hardness, then is further finished with an additional wear layer over the flooring surface.

Wood from species like Bamboo, Cork, Oak, Cumaru, Beech, Santos Mahogany, Teak, Walnut, and Brazilian Cherry are rapidly picking up as popular hardwood flooring choices. The hardwood floors might set the ambience of the room, giving it a different look and feel. Besides, other factors like foot traffic, purpose of room, and location should be considered since each of the hardwood floors has different benchmarks for wear and tear, resistance, moisture etc. So the hardwood materials durability, toughness, darkness have to be considered. Keeping all of this in mind, besides the ever-durable, timeless oak hardwood, hardwood floors made of Australian Cypress and Brazilian Cherry are becoming a rage.Those who have never seen it before cannot easily spot Australian Cypress flooring. It has an earthy tone and bears a resemblance to knotty pine. This gives it an added advantage, making it balance with the furniture around the house because of its subtle brown, shadowed amber and sporadic green. The Australian Cypress hardwood flooring is much more durable and is able to hide signs of wear because of its intricate knots and swirls. In the past five to seven years, another wood species has become very popular as hardwood flooring, known as Brazilian Cherry or Jatoba, Brazilian Cherry hardwood flooring has a different appeal from that of traditional hardwood floorings made of Oaks and Maple. It has darker shades of tan and reddish browns that will complement practically every piece of furniture in your home.

Laminate Flooring Installation: Laminate floors are intended to be floated over many types of subfloors; they're never actually attached to any substrate directly. That is, the floor lays right on top of the subfloor, which can be concrete, wood, or an even existing floor. This allows for the laminate floor to contract and expand freely as the environment of the room changes. Laminate flooring comes in squares and planks of different shapes and sizes.

Laminates are one of the hottest trends in flooring today! Offering a wide variety of color and tone they create a great backdrop to your decorating scheme. Laminates most often are made to look like hardwood, tile or stone. Laminates are constructed with a wear layer, then a decorative-image sheet, which are bonded to a rigid core - usually fiberboard with a bottom balancing layer to prevent bowing.( About National Floors Direct)

Other advantages include being able to sand smooth any uneven heights, or irregularities in wood planks. Be prepared; the process can take several days to complete.

The majority of laminate floors can be installed anywhere in your home, including bathrooms and kitchens. Laminate floors never need waxing or polishing. While a laminate floor can be somewhat noisy when people walk on it, special underlying paddings are used to reduce noise levels. Laminates also resist sunlight damage.

Factory Pre-finished Hardwood Flooring. Some of the factors affecting factory-finished wood floors before installation: UV-cured - Factory coatings that are treated before application by Ultra Violet lighting instead of a heat source. Polyurethane - A tough, durable and clear finish applied to wood flooring as a protection layer against wear. Urethane-Acrylic - A somewhat different chemical composition compared to Polyurethane with equal benefits. Ceramic - An advanced technology which incorporates "space-age" ceramics for improved resistance to abrasion of the floor's wear layer. Aluminum Oxide - Component that's added to urethane for extra abrasion resistance; the chemical additive is found more on higher grade flooring. Acrylic Impregnated - Acrylic monomers injected directly into the wood's cell structure to increase its hardness, then is further finished with an additional wear layer over the flooring surface.

The "floating floor" install means that the laminate flooring is not anchored to a subfloor. A polyurethane underlayment is laid before the new laminate flooring is installed. Some underlayments offer additional benefits such as reducing noise vibrations, or acting as a moisture barrier. Tongue and grooved edges of laminate floors are sealed to prevent moisture from damaging the inner core structure.

Just a few of the many advantages to using carpet in your home: Carpeting adds warmth and since it's soft, it's easier on children's knees. Carpet is less noisy than a hard surface floor. Carpeting is available in a wide spectrum of color tones and hues. Carpet colors easily compliment rooms with patterned wall coverings. Carpet can conceal sub-floor irregularities, which is something that can't be done with hard surface flooring. Carpet can be applied to a wide variety of substrates on all grade levels, even basement concrete slabs. Carpeting is economical compared to many hard surface products with total installation costs being much less.( national-floors-direct)( National Floors Direct Inc Profile)
