Hardwood flooring has many more options than you might think. With engineered woods, you can get a butterscotch color or even flooring that emulates the design of a sunset. Then, there is the “look.” Distressed or hand-scraped, you can add a rustic feeling to your home instantaneously.

Types of Hardwood Flooring

Now that you have decided to go with hardwood flooring, you must decide on what type of wood. There are many types of hardwood flooring, each with their own benefits. Read more about some of the most popular types below.

Oak: Oak is often the cheapest option and one of the most common hardwood flooring types you will see. While not the most unique, this type of flooring stains great and will have great resale value.

Maple: Maple is harder than oak making it more durable and perfect for high traffic areas. While it does not stain well, it naturally looks great and will age beautifully.

Hickory: Another popular type of hardwood flooring is hickory. It can be difficult to install but once it is, provides a unique and attractive look to any room.

Whether you can’t decide between hickory and maple, or between French oak and birch, we can help! Stop in today and ask one of our team members about the characteristics of each wood species.

How to Maintain Hardwood Flooring

Not only is hardwood flooring beautiful, but it's easy to clean and maintain! To keep your hardwood floor looking its best:

Keep it clean; daily sweeping or dust mopping will keep it free of dust and debris.

Don't use a wet mop or a steam cleaner to clean your hardwood floors, as excessive moisture can cause damage.

Place floor mats or area rugs in doorways or high-traffic areas to reduce wear and tear to those spaces.

Vacuum weekly to remove any crumbs or dirt you may have missed. Use a buffer or wood floor cleaner every month or as directed by your floor's manufacturer to maintain shine.

If a buffer no longer works to make your floor shine, you may need to rewax. Many wood flooring manufacturers recommend rewaxing once or twice a year, using a cleaner and liquid wax that are specifically intended for wood floors.

Waxing is a simple process:

Make sure your floor is free of dust or debris
Apply an even coat of wax
Allow to dry
Buff the floor to your desired luster

With the simplicity of care, the variety of available styles, and long-lasting beauty, it's no wonder that hardwood flooring is one of the top choices for homes in the San Antonio, TX area!
