- 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.

- 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.
