Hardwood flooring is always on trend, making it a timeless product. Its natural beauty and unchanging appeal can match any home décor. Carpet One Floor & Home of Livermore, CA has the perfect hardwood floor for your home.

Hardwood flooring offers ongoing benefits. You add value to your home by giving it a more sophisticated appeal. Hardwood floors can also reduce noise and are much warmer to walk on. They are considered allergy friendly since there’s nowhere for dust to hide or get trapped. Although hardwood is an investment, it pays for itself since future buyers often seek higher end flooring. Hardwood is long lasting and can be refinished to keep its looks current.

What Types of Wood Are Used In My Hardwood Floor?

Hardwood flooring comes in a variety of species, styles, plank widths and more. We have domestic and exotic hardwoods like oak, maple, cherry, and others. Different wood species offer color variations and characters like knot and grain details. Certain wood types are harder than others.

What is Engineered Hardwood?

Hardwood flooring comes in both solid and engineered form.

• Engineered hardwood flooring is crafted in layers, using material like hardwoods, plywood, and bamboo. These layers are pressed together in cross-grains, making engineered hardwood flooring denser than its solid counterpart. Your engineered floor is less likely to shrink or expand from humidity and moisture. Engineered hardwood flooring manages a degree of moisture, and unlike solid hardwood, can also be installed below grade.

• Solid hardwood flooring is made from single, solid planks of natural hardwood. Solid hardwood has serious evergreen appeal, as it can be refinished. It adds value to your property and can endure for generations if properly cared for. Solid hardwood should never be installed in a bathroom or laundry room, since humidity isn’t its friend.

What to Know Before Scheduling Your Hardwood Installation?

Hardwood flooring is naturally durable flooring option, but it does have its limitations as to where it can be installed. Solid hardwood flooring needs to stay cool and dry, while engineered hardwood flooring is more versatile and can be installed in hallways and kitchens. You can even install them in basements.

Meticulousness and utmost care are the name of the game for ensuring making your hardwood flooring installation is successful. Your engineered hardwood floor adds lasting warmth, value, and beauty to your space if it has a proper beginning. The intended space must be measured lengthwise and widthwise, before reviewing your subfloor. Depending on the state of your subfloor and your intended flooring, you might need additional prepping, and possibly install a barrier. Does this sound like a complex process? That’s because it is, particularly if you’re not familiar with the process.
