Choosing the right hardwood

The first step in installing quality
hardwood flooring is choosing the right wood. Oak
is one of the most popular types of wood flooring
as it exudes a sense of grandeur and finesse in
any house it is laid in. This alone can
significantly increase the resale value of your
house. Some of the factors that you need to
consider when choosing your hardwood floors are

5
Wood Species Thanks to their ease of
availability and sturdiness, oak, maple and
cherry are among the top favorite species,.
Exotic varieties like Brazilian cherry or
mahogany are well known for their excellent
finish, but arent as durable as the former
options. The color and the texture of hardwood
depends entirely on the wood species, thus a fair
degree of compromise between the style, color and
texture is necessary to gain the best
results. Board Width Hardwood floors feature a
variety of shapes and sizes, ranging from narrow
strips to broad planks to parquet squares and
rectangles. Broad planks exude a vintage look,
while the parquet squares befits the modern
style. Hardness The hardness of planks plays
an important role in determining the degree of
scratches left on your floor. Harder species such
as red oak can handle scars and scratches with an
elegance that is unseen in softer varieties such
as pine. Finish Hardwood finishes provides the
wood its characteristic sheen. Most hardwood
planks flaunt a factory pre-finish, which helps
keep dust at bay and makes installation easier.
This coating also helps keep the wood far more
durable and long lasting, as compared to site
applied finishes.

Installation

• Glue-Less

• Floating

• This relatively new method uses interlocking wood
  planks to give your floor a flat, smooth look and
  finish. As it is fairly easy to install, and does
  not compromise on the quality if laid properly,
  it is widely popular among DIY enthusiasts.

• The floating method of laying wood floor is
  recommended only for long boards. Here the wood
  plans are glued/ nailed to each other but not to
  the subfloor. Moreover, the planks are laid on a
  padding to give the floors a cushioning effect.
  This method allows one to easily install hardwood
  floor on subfloors such as vinyl, ceramic and
  other difficult to remove flooring.

Installation

• Nail Down

• Glue Down

• As the name suggests, nails or staples are used
  to secure the wood planks to the sub floor. This
  is best left to the professionals, who will
  either use manual tools or compressed air powered
  tools for laying the wooden planks. It is
  important to ensure a tight set against the
  subfloor else, it can lead to a squeaky floor.

• The glue down method is one of the most popular
  methods of laying hardwood floors. In this
  method, the planks are glued to the subfloor
  using a special wood adhesive, without the need
  for nailing down the wood. This eliminates the
  chances of wood deformity during installation as
  you are not hammering down on the wood. This
  makes for easy installation and wood can be
  directly glued onto the concrete floor without
  the need for a sub floor.

Hardwood Floor care
Maintaining hardwood floors requires
dedicated time and effort. This might seem like a
significant investment on your part, but this is
crucial in order to ensure that the wood floors
retain their majestic look. Here are a few common
tips that can help you get the best out of your
Anderson hardwood floor in the long run. Never
wet mop a wood floor. This can dull the finish,
and may even damage the wood. Sweeping/ vacuuming
the floor every few days and cleaning the floor
with the recommended wood floor cleaner once a
month is sufficient. Wipe up any spillage
immediately. Letting spills sit on the wood floor
for long will not only stain the wood, but will
also compromise the structural integrity of the
wood. Using rugs and floor mats at the doorways
will help restrict the amount of dust and dirt
that is being carried into the room, thus
limiting scratches on the floor.
9
Over waxing the wood floor will make it
look dull. Instead, sanding/ buffing is
recommended for best effect. These care and
maintenance processes will arrest scratches and
will help the wood regain its sheen, making it
look like new.
