Why Choose Hardwood?

Hardwood gives your home a natural feeling. Warm, elegant, comfortable, even forgiving. It can be defined by color and grain, making a stronger statement, or generously neutral, allowing the other design elements of your home to shine. And it’s elemental, like bringing the beauty and power of nature inside. Dependable and long-lasting, a wood floor becomes a member of the family. Best of all, it’s available in a range of price points to fit your budget.

HARDWOOD SPECIES

Some trees have bold grain patterns, such as oak, and are associated with an informal or a country look. Others, such as maple and birch, have a subtle, more refined grain and tend to be found in a more traditional setting.

HARDWOOD SHADE VARIATION

Darker tones can give you a more formal or traditional feel, while lighter tones complete the more casual room. Or you can think even more creatively. The shade of your floor can also be inspired by a color of fabric, a piece of art, or a beautiful countertop.

HARDWOOD GRADE LEVEL

If you’re installing wood floors in a basement or other room that might be exposed to moisture, look for “all grades” flooring. Carpet One® Floor & Home floors are engineered for years of performance under the most challenging conditions.

HARDWOOD GLOSS LEVEL

The gloss level refers to the finish and visual sheen of the product. It ranges from a smooth, soft satin to a crisp and glassy, high gloss.

HARDWOOD EDGE PROFILE

The edge style of the wood floor you choose does matter. Square edge boards fit flush against each other for a smooth, elegant feel. A full bevel or micro bevel edge creates an angled effect with depth and dimension.

HARDWOOD BOARD WIDTH

Hardwood comes in varying widths from 2 1/4″ all the way up to 5″ or even wider. These widths can convey either a sophisticated or a casual look and can coordinate with whatever décor you choose for your room.
