Wood Floor Installation

If you are thinking about installing wood floors in your home or office, you’ve come to the right place! Elegant Floor Service provides reliable hardwood flooring installation services in the Maryland, Washington, DC and Virginia area.

When you are deciding on the look of your new wood floors, there are numerous options to choose from – types, grade, cut, pattern…the list goes on! The best thing about installing wood floors is that these seemingly endless options can be combined to make a floor that is uniquely yours. At Elegant Floor Service, we’ll help you choose the best combination for you.

Types of Wood Floor

Just as there are many different species of trees, there are many different species of wood floors! Popular types of wood flooring include Oak, Birch, Cherry, Maple, Bamboo and Walnut. Looking for something a little more exotic? Exotic woods like Brazilian Chestnut, Ebony, Ivory Maple and Gingerwood beautifully accent a room and the color doesn’t fade.

Choose a wood based on your home’s style and your lifestyle. For example, if you want hardwoods in your entryway, you may want to steer clear of Cherry wood. Cherry wood is a soft wood and should be used for accents – it wouldn’t last well in a high trafficked area like an entry way.

Pre-finished & Unfinished Wood Flooring

When it comes to installing hardwood flooring, you can have the choice between either pre-finished or unfinished wood.

Pre-finished wood flooring does not require any sanding or staining and can be refinished many times. Installing pre-finished wood flooring generally tends to cost less, leaves a minimal amount of odor and provides higher durability even in high-traffic areas.

Unfinished wood flooring is a better option if you plan to install floors throughout the whole house. Unfinished wood flooring presents a more consistent, even color and finish, and is easier to match staining, if you are looking for a new floor that matches existing flooring or trim. Unfinished wood flooring, more commonly installed than pre-finished, needs to be sanded, stained and sealed after installation.
