Why Hardwood Flooring in Indiana?

Leaning towards new hardwood flooring?

Hardwood flooring adds new life to all types of residential and commercial spaces. In Indiana, where we have chilly winters, warm summers, and bouts of heavy rains, it’s important to find flooring that can weather each season.

Need help? Our hardwood flooring experts live and work near you and have firsthand knowledge when it comes to choosing the best type of hardwood floor for your budget, space, and style.

Choosing Your Hardwood Floor

We have options made using various domestic and exotic wood species, including:

Oak
Maple
Cherry
Pine
Ash
Mahogany
Birch

Each hardwood species has its own unique hardness levels and visual features.

For instance, oak is dense and ultra-durable with prominent grain patterns; maple has straighter grains and holds polish and stain particularly well; and cherry has lower stiffness and can be steam-bent.

Solid vs Engineered Hardwood

Hardwood flooring comes in two major product distinctions: solid hardwood and engineered hardwood.

Solid hardwood is the traditional way to enjoy this flooring favorite. Purists love solid hardwood for its staying power: each plank is made from one single hunk of wood, which can be repeatedly refinished. It needs to be installed thoughtfully since it’s sensitive to humidity and moisture. It cannot be used below grade.

Engineered hardwood looks exactly like solid hardwood but is built much differently. Crafted in layers of real hardwood and veneer, engineered planks have a hefty cross-grain pattern that resists swelling, warping, and shrinking. It can be used on all levels of your home and certain products can be refinished. Engineered hardwood flooring has an absorbent core and scratch-resistance, making it accessible for all budgets and lifestyles.

Make sure your subfloor is clean and level.
Create a “path” for your installers to access your space.
Remove artwork, furniture, and anything fragile.
Remember that certain hardwoods need acclimation time.
Once the flooring is installed, we recommend waiting up to 48 hours before replacing the furniture.
Remember, the installation process can be dusty and loud.
