Hardwood remains one of the most desirable flooring choices because every plank offers authentic grain patterns, natural color variations, and distinctive character. Wood floors can create a warm foundation for traditional, rustic, coastal, farmhouse, transitional, and contemporary interiors.
In addition to its visual appeal, quality hardwood flooring can provide excellent long-term value when the right product is selected for the room and professionally installed. Its durable surface is easy to sweep and can coordinate with changing wall colors, furniture, and design trends.
Benefits of hardwood flooring include:
Solid hardwood flooring is constructed from a single piece of natural wood. Its authentic construction, substantial feel, and classic appearance make it a popular choice for living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and other suitable above-grade areas.
Depending on the species and product, solid hardwood may be available in oak, maple, hickory, birch, cherry, and other distinctive woods. Each species has its own grain pattern, color variation, hardness, and overall character. Oak offers a familiar and versatile appearance, while hickory provides bold variation and a more rustic visual.
Many solid hardwood products can be sanded and refinished during their usable lifespan, although the number of possible refinishing projects depends on the product construction, thickness, wear, and installation method. Our flooring professionals can help you understand the care and refinishing considerations for the floor you select.
Engineered hardwood combines a genuine hardwood surface with a layered core designed to provide added dimensional stability. Because of its construction, engineered hardwood may be appropriate for a broader range of rooms and installation conditions than traditional solid wood.
This flooring provides the natural beauty and texture of real wood while offering greater resistance to movement caused by seasonal temperature and humidity changes. That can be particularly valuable in New Hampshire, where homes experience warm summers, cold winters, heating systems, and changing indoor moisture levels throughout the year.
Engineered hardwood may be installed above, on, or below grade when permitted by the manufacturer. Depending on the product and subfloor, installation methods may include nail-down, staple-down, glue-down, or floating systems.
Hardwood flooring is available in a wide variety of designs, making it easier to personalize your rooms. Our experts can help you compare samples against cabinetry, countertops, paint colors, furnishings, and natural lighting.
Traditional hardwood often features familiar oak or maple visuals, medium plank widths, and warm brown finishes. These floors provide a versatile foundation for classic New England interiors and can complement both antique and modern furnishings.
Wide planks highlight more of the wood’s natural grain and can help a room feel open and inviting. They are especially popular in lake homes, farmhouses, open-concept living spaces, and rustic-inspired interiors.
Natural, blonde, honey, and lightly stained hardwood can brighten a room and create a relaxed appearance. Light wood floors pair well with neutral walls, modern furniture, coastal-inspired designs, and spaces with limited natural light.
Espresso, walnut, and deep brown finishes create contrast and sophistication. Dark wood can make a dramatic statement, although it may show dust, scratches, and pet hair more readily than some lighter or highly varied floors.
Wire-brushed, hand-scraped, and distressed surfaces add texture and help create a relaxed, lived-in appearance. These details can also make minor marks and everyday wear less noticeable in active households.
The best hardwood floor depends on more than color alone. Before recommending a product, our team considers where the floor will be installed, the type of subfloor, household traffic, pets, sunlight, moisture exposure, maintenance preferences, and budget.
For busy households, a textured or low-sheen finish may help disguise small scratches and dust. Homes with pets may benefit from harder wood species, stronger finishes, and floors with natural color variation. Engineered hardwood may be recommended for installations where seasonal movement or below-grade conditions are a concern.
If you love the appearance of wood but require greater water resistance, compare hardwood with our luxury vinyl flooring, laminate flooring, and more!
Hardwood flooring is commonly installed in living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, offices, hallways, foyers, and open-concept spaces. Product suitability varies, so always consider the room’s moisture exposure, grade level, and manufacturer requirements.
Traditional solid hardwood is generally best suited to dry, above-grade areas. Engineered hardwood can offer additional installation flexibility and may be suitable for certain lower-level spaces. Bathrooms, laundry rooms, and other moisture-prone rooms may be better served by tile, waterproof luxury vinyl, or another water-resistant material.
Our team can evaluate your space and help you compare hardwood with tile flooring, laminate, vinyl, or other materials based on your priorities.
Professional installation is essential to the appearance and long-term performance of wood flooring. Hardwood must be measured, prepared, acclimated, spaced, and installed according to product requirements and site conditions.
Before installation, the subfloor may need to be inspected for moisture, flatness, cleanliness, and structural stability. Installers must also account for expansion space, plank direction, layout, transitions, doorways, trim, and adjoining flooring.
Our professional installation team follows the appropriate method for your selected hardwood and subfloor. We coordinate the project from measurement through installation to help create a smooth, attractive finished surface. You can begin planning by scheduling a free room measurement or project consultation.
Regular maintenance can help preserve the color and finish of your hardwood flooring. Sweep, dust mop, or vacuum with a hard-surface setting to remove abrasive dirt and grit. Clean spills promptly, and use only products approved for your floor’s specific finish.
Place mats near exterior entrances, attach protective pads beneath furniture, and avoid dragging heavy objects across the floor. Maintain consistent indoor humidity when possible, and use window coverings to limit prolonged exposure to intense sunlight.
Because maintenance requirements vary by manufacturer, always follow the instructions supplied with your flooring. Visit our floor care selection for additional information.
Choosing between multiple wood colors and styles can be difficult when looking at a small sample. Our room visualizer allows you to preview different flooring products in a room before making your final decision.
Use the visualizer to compare light and dark hardwood, wide and narrow planks, and traditional or contemporary finishes. After identifying your favorite looks, visit our Belmont showroom to see and feel samples in person.
