How to Select Hardwood Flooring

©Alan J. Fletcher - Flooring Expert and Consumer Advocate

 

 

Buying Hardwood Flooring Can be quite confusing because there are so many different types, styles, grades and qualities to choose from. In the end, you want to be satisfied with the way your hardwood floors look, but you also want to make sure they are as durable and long lasting as you anticipate. 

 

Denser hardwoods have a higher density rating and are considered more durable because they are harder to gouge or indent. The common method used to rate the hardness or density of hardwoods is called the Janka Rating. The Janka hardness rating measures the pounds per square inch of density for each variety of wood species. 

Other factors come into play when considering how durable a hardwood flooring product will be including the type of Coating, Sealer or finish used to protect the surface. 

 

Proper care and maintenance are they key to making sure your new flooring lasts as long as possible.
