Hardwood Flooring Pros
Appearance Improves with Age
Hardwood improves with age because it acquires a desirable patina over
time.
Long Lasting
Hardwood is among the longest lasting of all flooring types.
 Great Investment
Although hardwood can initially cost more than some other flooring
options, it's an investment that pays off, increasing the value of your
home.
Can Be Recoated
All hardwood can be recoated, allowing you to refresh your floor to its
original look.
Easy Care & Maintenance Hardwood is as easy to care for as
most other floors—waxing is not necessary for urethane finishes.
Hardwood Considerations
May Scratch A hardwood floor's finish is susceptible to
scratching from traffic or pet nails.
Limited Below Grade Installation Solid hardwood cannot be
installed below grade level; engineered hardwood can.
Full Bath Installation Not Recommended Hardwood should not be
used in a full bathroom because it is sensitive to humidity and pooling
water.
Transitions to Other Floors A new hardwood floor may be a
different height than the floor it adjoins. Thinner profile wood and
transition strips will help to equalize the difference.
