Best Hardwood For Your Oregon Home

Having a hard time narrowing down your hardwood options? Here are some key factors to consider as you choose a hardwood floor in Oregon.

• Species of Wood: Hardwood flooring can be made from various domestic and exotic tree species, but some of the region's most popular options are walnut, maple, oak, and cherry. Each type of hardwood has different grain patterns, color variations, and levels o f hardness.
• Climate Considerations: Oregon's moist, mild climate runs humid most of the year, making engineered hardwood flooring the most practical option by far. 
• Budget Basics: Before you seal the deal, it's wise to consider your budget: not just for the flooring purchase and installation, but long-term maintenance costs and your floor's durability. 
• Warranties: Read and review your product warranty carefully, as many require professional flooring installation as a condition of future coverage. 

Should I Choose Solid Or Engineered Hardwood Flooring

When choosing your new floor it's important to consdier your home's humidity levels, traffic patterns, maintenance requirements, and style, preferences.  Our  flooring professionals can provide guidance based on your specific needs and budget. 

As mentioned earlier, engineered hardwood tends to be well-suited for our highly humid climate. Still, many traditionalists prefer solid hardwood flooring for its enduring curb appeal. Here's the lowdown on the two different types of hardwood flooring. 

• Solid Hardwood: is made from a single piece of wood, offering a traditional look. It can be sanded and refinished multiple times, lasting for decades with proper care. However, it's important to remember that solid flooring is susceptible to humidity and temperature changes, making it less suitable for areas with high moisture levels like basements.

• Engineered Hardwood:is a manfuactured product with a top layer of real wood bonded to multiple layers of plywood or high-density fiberboard (HDF). It is more stable than solid hardwood and can be installed in areas with fluctuating humidity levels.  However, if you wish for a floor you can change with your fleeting desires, it's important to remember that depending on the thickness of the top layer, engineered hardwood may have a limited number of refinishing opportunities compared to solid hardwood.
