Frequently Asked Questions About Hardwood Flooring

How long do hardwood floors last?

With proper care and maintenance, solid hardwood floors can last 50 to 100 years. Periodic refinishing every 7 to 15 years helps protect the surface and extend the floor’s lifespan.

What is the best wood species for high-traffic areas?

Harder wood species like hickory, maple, and oak are more resistant to dents and scratches, making them suitable for high-traffic areas. The Janka hardness rating indicates a wood’s durability.

Can hardwood be installed in kitchens?

Yes, hardwood is commonly installed in kitchens. Engineered hardwood offers better moisture resistance, while solid hardwood provides the ability to refinish. Prompt cleanup of spills helps prevent water damage.
