Hardwoods are deciduous trees that have broad leaves, produce a fruit or nut and generally remain dormant during the winter. America’s forests grow hundreds of varieties of hardwood trees that thrive in this country’s temperate climates, including oak, ash, cherry, maple and poplar.
Hardwood provides natural, beautiful and durable floors. Color, gain pattern, hardness and luster represent the most important choices when it comes to hardwood flooring. Details such as matching kitchen cabinets and furniture also must be taken into consideration.
Why Hardwoods
Hardwood floors, cabinetry and trim add natural elegance to today’s interiors. Alder, birch, cherry, hickory, maple and oak, just to name a few species, have been bringing warmth and beauty to homes for centuries.
Consider these reasons for choosing hardwoods:
Tried and True. Hardwoods are classic and lend character and distinction to the home. They are the gold standard for floors, cabinets, furniture, woodwork, paneling and trim.
Renewing Resource. In American forests, nearly twice as much hardwood grows as is harvested each year. The volume of hardwoods is 90 percent larger than it was 50 years ago, according to the US Forest Service. That is the very definition of sustainability.
Lasting value. With useful lives spanning generations, furniture, flooring, cabinetry and trim crafted of American hardwoods will be around long after their synthetic counterparts.
Selection. Nearly two dozen abundant species provide plenty of variety in color, grain, character and pattern, giving you more choices than any other temperate hardwood forest in the world.
Healthy. Low-VOC finishes keep hardwoods looking great and performing well. They’re easy to maintain with non-toxic cleaners and don’t trap dust, dirt and other allergens.
We work with many different companies, nationwide, to make sure that you find the hardwood floor that you want.
