Questions to Answer Before Laying a Wooden Floor
Your hardwood is more than just flooring; it’s a smart financial move. It is important to conduct your research before hiring a hardwood flooring service to make sure you get the correct floor for your house and that any warranty concerns are resolved quickly. Hardwood floors are beautiful and durable, but many consumers go into the process without a clear idea of what they want or require. The answers to the following three questions will provide you insight into what to anticipate and how to get ready. If you want to learn more, read on!
Which is better, real wood or manufactured wood?
Where you want to put your flooring will determine how you respond to this question. Solid wood, for instance, is ideal for above-ground rooms, whereas engineered wood is preferable for slabs or basement installation. It could be utilized in wet environments or in place of radiant heat. Benefits of real hardwood include the ability to sand and refinish the hardwood surface. While it is true that engineered wood can be polished or sanded, it cannot be done as frequently as it can with solid wood.
Which is better, having it done here or sending it out?
Site-finished flooring allows for extensive personalization of the final product. You get to choose the final product’s shine, stain, and finish, but doing so at home means there will be noise and dust. Factor-finished flooring has fewer design options than site-finished flooring, but it is much quieter and dirtier to install. In addition, the hardwood floor can be walked on right after installation.
What do you think about a slick finish?
As always, go with what appeals to you most. It is common knowledge that a gloss finish provides the most sheen and light reflection. In contrast, the light reflected, and the brightness provided by a semi-gloss surface is less impressive. If you want little reflection and shine, go for a satin or matte finish. Although all sheens provide equivalent protection, the advantage of keeping less shine is that damage is less obvious.
