Wooden floors have always been associated with exoticness, quality and their aesthetic appeal to their users, even during medieval times wooden floors were considered a basis for the architecture for an entire building and some churches and palaces were actually built on the basis of their flooring methodology and inspired many more.Wooden floors are and have been a great addition to an already beautiful house and they fit great in both brick and log houses, while log houses being completely made from wood can benefit from a genuine wooden floor and increase their appeal a whole lot more.On the contrary there are other types of floors as well, like laminates although not wood they actually look a lot like wood but only from the surface, they neither sound like wood nor they feel like wood. So, what exactly are they? They are basically tiles made from composite, not very sturdy material with a photographic appliqué layer on top and due to that most owners end up replacing and refitting them all the time.So, how about some genuine wood then? Yes genuine wood is exactly as it sounds, tree wood turned into plywood and used for flooring, it has its benefits over all other types of floors, wooden floors are natural for your feet they are smooth to touch and they’ll be the closest you will get to nature.But, hey! There is more! There are a lot of options for all you flooring enthusiasts’ wooden floors are available in large varieties and wood types with smooth machine based finishes to quality hand scraping done by professional artists. And not just that we also get to choose from tons of color options and wood types, there is Acacia, Birch, ELM, Hickory, Maple, Walnut White Oak, Sapeli and Tiger wood. All of them have been proven by time to be great at being used as planks for flooring.So many options what do I do?Which type of wooden floor will suit you the most is a tricky question with a very broad subject I would suggest heading down to (floorsme.com), their products are nicely described with Janka hardness ratings perfect for new buyers and they also have an option of a free sample, and they can ship your choice of plank right to your doorstep as well.About choosing which type of wood will be best for you I can give a couple of pointers and suggestions which may help you out.Wooden floors are tagged with a Janka hardness rating which apart from their color; look and feel is the most important aspect of a wooden floor. The tensile strength and durability is directly dependant on the Janka ratings, now a higher Janka rating i.e. hardness does not always mean a more durable product, some flooring planks sometimes depend on being flexible to be durable, assume a rubber piece it is not hard but it is quite durable because of its ability to stretch itself and absorb force. Most naturally occurring woods have many more characteristics than just hardness, some contain special anti insect and anti rot oil whereas some are water resistant and can be used outdoors as well so do your research on what type of wood will suit you the best and order a sample online for free from (floorsme.com). Moreover wooden floors can last a lifetime if treated correctly and chosen smartly just like ships and airplanes which were made from wood and some of them are still in service.The last thing I would like to point out before I end this is that wooden floors are the closest you can get to nature and natural living, so get yourself one and turn your already beautiful home into an exotic palace.
