Everything You Need to Know About Bruce Hardwood Floors
By Jenna Laine
At a time when homeowners are pinching pennies, hardwood floor installation continues to be one of the top trends in home improvement. Why? Because it's guaranteed to bring value to a home, it's seen as classic and transcends through decades, and it's relatively inexpensive.
When it comes to Hardwood Floors, Bruce Hardwoods is considered a leading manufacturer because of quality, aesthetics, and selection. Bruce Hardwoods come in several varieties, with hundreds of styles and color combinations. The most popular woods used include oak, ash, birch, beech, maple, and hickory. With so many different options to choose from, how do you know which is right for your home?
For an elegant, formal setting in your home, darker woods and finishes add a sense of warmth, such as the stunning Dundee Plank by Bruce Hardwood in a cherry or mocha. For everyday use, opt for contemporary maple, or even a combination of maple with oak, such as Bruce Hardwood's Liberty Plank flooring.
If your style is a bit on the retro side, or you want to add some Americana flare to your home, go with American Vintage Walnut from Bruce Hardwoods. If you have kids or pets, the highly durable Bruce Park Avenue Premium Laminate Wood is eight times more resistant to scratches and surface stains than any other wood on the market, and it's backed by a 30-year warranty.
In addition to type of wood used, you will need to select a pattern. The most common patterns are strip and plank, although a popular trend among homeowners is to integrate their own custom designs in the wood.
Talk to a Bruce Hardwoods floor installation specialist to discuss your options. When choosing a color and cut, be sure to request samples, and don't forget to ask about cleaning. Different woods require different cleaning methods, and some floors can only be cleaned professionally. When making a home investment such as this, you don't want any surprises!
