Choose from Top Wood Species
Hardwood floors come in a variety of species, each offering distinct characteristics in terms of durability, color, and grain pattern. Some of the most popular hardwood species options include:
Oak: Available in both red and white, oak is durable and versatile with a subtle grain pattern.
Hickory: Known for its dramatic grain and range of colors, hickory is ideal for a rustic, natural look.
Brazilian Cherry: Deep reddish-brown with an exotic, tight grain; durable and dense.
Acacia: Strong and hardy, acacia features a striking grain and rich tones, perfect for high-traffic areas.
Our team will bring samples directly to your home so you can see how each species complements your space.
Solid vs. Engineered Hardwood: What’s Right for You?
Choosing between solid and engineered hardwood is one of the first decisions you'll make. Here's a quick breakdown:
Solid Hardwood:
- Made entirely of wood, typically 3/4" thick
- Can be refinished and sanded multiple times
- Ideal for dry areas like living rooms and bedrooms
Engineered Hardwood:
Features a layer of real wood veneer bonded to layers of plywood
More stable in humid areas like basements or kitchens
Quicker installation and often more cost-effective
Ridgeline Floors & BATH will help you decide between solid and engineered hardwood based on your home, budget, and design preferences.
Prefinished vs. Unfinished Wood
The next decision is whether to choose prefinished or unfinished hardwood:
Prefinished Hardwood:
Already sanded, stained, and sealed at the factory
Quick installation; ready to walk on in a day
Ideal for those looking for a faster installation process
Unfinished Hardwood:
Allows for custom staining and finishing in your home
Perfect for matching existing floors or creating a unique look
Requires additional time for sanding, staining, and sealing on-site
Ridgeline Floors & BATH installs both prefinished and unfinished hardwood floors with unbeatable expertise. Our team will ensure a flawless finish, no matter what type of flooring you select.
What to Consider When Choosing Hardwood Floors
After you decide on those three factors, there are a few other options to think about when picking out the perfect hardwood floors for your home, which we cover below.
Color
Should you install light hardwood floors or would a darker color better suit your home? Choosing the right color for your floors is key to creating a cohesive design throughout your home. Keep in mind that dark floors can create warmth in your home while light floors reflect light and can make the space look bigger.
Direction
You’ll also need to decide which direction you want your floors to lay. As a good rule of thumb, we recommend having your hardwood floors installed lengthwise towards the window, but ultimately, it’s up to you.
Grain pattern
The way a piece of wood is cut makes a different type of grain pattern on the planks. Plain-sawn wood is the most common type of wood grain and has a pattern known as cathedrals. Rift-sawn wood, on the other hand, does not have cathedrals, but it has long and consistent grain, while quarter-sawn wood has a more irregular grain pattern.
Where you plan to install it
Give some consideration to where you plan to install your new flooring. How much foot traffic will the area get? The answer can help you determine which type of hardwood flooring you need.
How much natural light the space gets
Along those same lines, think about how much natural light you get in the areas where you want to install new floors. If you get a lot of natural light, combining that with light floors can make the whole space feel brighter and bigger. If it’s an area without much natural light, you might want to avoid dark floors or the space might feel more cramped than it is
Benefits Of Hardwood
Are you still trying to decide whether hardwood floors are the best choice for your home? Take a look at some of the advantages of choosing this material for your renovation project.
Excellent Durability
If you opt for solid hardwood floors, you can expect them to be very durable and last for years because of the dense structure of the wood they come from. They are a great choice for areas with heavy foot traffic and can easily be refinished to make them look brand new after a couple of years.
Improved Home Value
If you’re thinking about selling your home sometime in the next few years, then you’ll be happy to know adding hardwood floors may increase your home’s value and appeal to more prospective buyers.
Beautiful Appearance
There’s no denying that hardwood floors are beautiful and they instantly give any space an elevated, high-end feel. They can also add an element of warmth to your home, making the space look inviting and cozy.
Low Maintenance
Compared to some other materials, hardwood floors require very little maintenance to keep them looking great. As long as you keep up with regular cleaning, you can expect your hardwood floors to look good as new for the foreseeable future.
What Affects Hardwood Installation Costs?
The cost of your hardwood floor installation can vary depending on several factors, such as the square footage of the area, the type of wood species and finish, and any necessary subfloor preparation. Additionally, if you need any trim or molding work, this may affect the overall cost.
