Hardwood flooring is back! It is once again the preferred choice of home owners for wood flooring installations.

There was a time when the only product used for flooring was solid hardwood but with the passage of time, various varieties of classic wood floor emerged such as resilient tile that resembles the wood, engineered wood, laminate "wood" flooring, and many more. However, hardwood is on a come back trail and is fast becoming the favored product beating the completion like laminate flooring hands down.

Expansion areas are spaces left around the perimeter of rooms, against fixed objects such as columns, thresholds, hearths, skirting boards, and other stationary items built or secured into the framing structure of the home. Even though Hardwood flooring used is no longer living and breathing it still reacts to moisture changes in the environment. The cells in the solid wood will take on or absorb moisture when the relative humidity is high, or when exposed to water. Expansion takes place, and the hardwood grows, for lack of a clearer term, across the grain (width) of the plank (see below, not all will react this way). Conversely when air moisture levels decrease, moisture content evaporates, shrinking of the solid wood will occur.

The durability of an engineered floor makes it an excellent choice for households with little feet running around, whether they belong to the family pooch or your little darlings. This type of flooring is resistant to scratching, dents, UV rays and moisture, so whatever accidents should occur, engineered flooring can be mopped, brushed or vacuumed and it will look as good as new. If you do somehow manage to damage engineered flooring, it can be remedied with a quick sanding down, which will restore it to the condition it was in the minute after it was laid. This added durability makes engineered flooring suitable for kitchens as well as living and dining rooms.

For this article, I am thankful my uncle who is Interior Designer from "Sweden". He has wonderful knowledge about different kind of wood which we can use in Home or Office Furniture.

Thank You for Spending time with me!!
