If you are looking to install wood flooring in your home, there are many different options. You can install a laminate, engineered wood, or hardwood floor. But before you make a decision, you have to ask yourself three important questions to help guide you to the right option. American Floors of Riverside, RI, will help you choose and install the right flooring for your home and lifestyle.

Here are three important questions to ask before you choose a hardwood floor:

  • Where Will the Wood Be Going? You need to know exactly where the flooring will be going. You don't want to install hardwood in a basement or in places with high humidity levels, like bathrooms. The placement of the floor will help determine what your options are.
  • Hardwood FloorWhat Is the Subfloor Made of? Most subfloors are made of concrete, plywood, or particle board. The type of subfloor you have will also influence what your best home flooring options are. For example, engineered wood floors are best on concrete, whereas plywood works best for solid wood floors.
  • How Much Abuse Will Your Floors Take? The last question you need to ask yourself is how much abuse your floors take. If you have pets, small children, or have a high amount of foot traffic, you will want an engineered wood or a hardwood, rather than a soft wood flooring option.

Choosing the right hardwood floor can be challenging, but asking yourself these questions will help you hone in on the flooring option that is best for your home.
