About Hardwood Flooring 

At Contract Carpet One, we carry the best brands and quality flooring products available to us. What that means for you is there are a large variety of options to choose. Hardwood flooring has been a popular option for hundreds of years due to its style and natural longevity. Hardwood always looks naturally beautiful and even adds a luxurious value to a home.

Types of Hardwood

Hardwood flooring is an investment and we want to help you make sure you not only choose the right kind of hardwood floor, but that you also take into account if hardwood is right for your home and lifestyle. Keep in mind that wood is a naturally absorbent material, so hardwood flooring is not a water proof option. Hardwood floors are best for areas such as living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where you can show them off to guests.

Solid vs. Engineered Hardwood

Hardwood comes in a variety of options; choose from different species, finishes, and structures that best suit you and your style. You can even from finished and unfinished hardwood floors, which means you can either have the installer apply a finish of your liking in your home or purchase the floor pre-finished. Another important choice is if you want solid or engineered hardwood, so you need to take into account if you plan on ever refinishing your floors.
