There are many different types of hardwood
flooring available, each with a wide variety of
features and characteristcs to compliment any
style. Here at Luciano’s Hardwood Flooring
we understand that choosing your floor covering
is a matter of functionality and taste.
Hardwood flooring comes in a wide rage of colors,
species, widths, finishes and patterns.
Trust in a good wood floor specialist to help
you choose the best floor for you. Let's
weigh the pros and cons of each...
PREFINISHED VS.
SOLID HARDWOOD FLOORING
It's a big
decision to install new wood flooring in your
home and we know it can be confusing as well.
One of the biggest questions we get is if our
clients should install prefinished wood flooring
OR solid unfinished hardwood flooring (which is
installed, sanded (with our dustless system) and
finished with your choice of color stain and
finish) onsite.
PREFINISHED vs. UNFINISHED FLOORING
Depending on the floor size, installation is much
faster with prefinished hardwood flooring.
There is no sanding or finishes involved.
Because the prefinished floor has already been
coated at the factory and doesn't have the be
sanded or finished onsite, it is more convenient
to install. Also due to the multiple
layers of finish applied at the factory,
prefinished hardwood flooring has a durable wear
and the finish is usually under warranty by the
manufacturer.
Now the down side... prefinished wood can become a dirt
trap mess. It is very hard to clean
between the cracks, since the cracks are not
sealed at the job site. (Solid hardwood
flooring is sanded and SEALED onsite).
When refinishing prefinished floors it is
necessary to remove more wood to get the floor
level, so in effect you lose more wood floor
life in the very first refinish than with solid
hardwood flooring.
Prefinished floors are convenient to install, but most
have a beveled edge on the wood strips, which
some people just don't like. If you wish
to have the appearance of a perfectly FLAT
floor, solid unfinished hardwood flooring is the
way to go. AND if your prefinished floor
gets damaged, it means ripping out the whole
section of flooring and completely replacing it,
whereas solid unfinished hardwood flooring can
be easily repaired (in most cases) with a quick
sanding and applying new finish. Another
thing to consider is from time to tiime
manufacturers also discontinue or elimiate the
availability of certain types of prefinished
products, thus making it impossible to get new
prefinished flooring for repair work.
MORE THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE
CHOOSING YOUR FLOOR:
Where will the flooring be installled?
ENTRY WAY OR FOYER - Foyers tend to be more
formal. By adding a one-of-a-kind design such
as a border, inlay or medallion has become a new
flooring trend.
KITCHENS AND FAMILY ROOMS -
By being the highest traffic areas in your home we
highly recommend hardwood flooring in these rooms.
The ease of care and flor of traffic make these
rooms a popular choice for hardwood flooring.
We recommend kitchen floors to be lightly sanded and
recoated as needed, usually every 6-18 months in
these high-traffic zones.
DINING ROOMS AND FORMAL LIVING
AREAS - This is the area where we do
most of the design work with borders or inlays -
turning blocks or corner accents to make your floor
unique and add that special ambiance to your room.
Design can be made to compliment your furniture and
decor. The trend has been to do a darker
colors in these areas. But keep in mind, the
darker the floor, the smaller the space will appear.
BATHROOMS - Due
to continued moisture exposure, we do not recommend
you put solid hardwood flooring in a bathroom that
receives daily use. A guest bathroom, however,
that does not get used on a day to day basis would
be a perfect choice. NOTE: always use carpets
or mats and wipe any water up immediately!Ho
