Hardwood Species<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oak is a hardwood species that is known for its strength and durability, making it a popular choice for high-traffic areas.<\/strong> It has a distinctive grain pattern that adds character and visual interest to flooring. It’s available in a range of colors, from light to dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maple is another hardwood species that is popular for flooring.<\/strong> It has a light, uniform color and a fine, straight grain pattern that make it ideal for a modern or contemporary look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mahogany is a tropical hardwood species that is prized for its deep, rich color and straight grain pattern.<\/strong> It is a hard and durable wood that is often used in high-end flooring applications. However, because mahogany is becoming increasingly rare and expensive, it is often used in smaller quantities or as a veneer.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Softwood Species<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cherry is a medium-density hardwood species with a rich, reddish-brown color and smooth grain pattern.<\/strong> In consequence, it’s often used in flooring applications to add warmth and character to a room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pine is a softwood species that is commonly used in flooring applications due to its affordability and rustic charm.<\/strong> It has a light color and a pronounced grain pattern that add character and texture to a room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, as these last two species mentioned are relatively soft woods, they may not be the best choice for high-traffic areas.<\/a> It’s always crucial to know what use the area you are installing the floor in will have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
