How to choose the real wood floor that’s right for your decor

One of the finest features of genuine hardwood flooring is that each plank has its own distinctive grain and color. In addition, our flooring comes in a variety of wood species, stain colors and widths so you can choose the wood that best complements the style you desire. Take a look at the room images in the Showroom to see how a wide range of completed rooms look.

While each plank is unique, in general, different wood species do have different grain and texture characteristics.

The changes in real wood that come with time

The patina of real wood flooring matures over time in keeping with the character of each species. This aging process is one of the hallmarks of a real wood floor. Cherry, for example, with its subtle grain pattern and natural color variations, will darken to a rich patina as it ages.
