When it comes to hardwood styles, solid oak (2 1/4 inch) is a favorite in the Treasure Valley. While new installations of solid oak aren't as common, we frequently refinish existing oak floors. Timeless choices in hardwood styles and colors include Oak and Hickory, with lighter shades being particularly popular. Recently, there's also been some variety in sizes and styles to suit personal design preferences. Explore the types of hardwood floors available at our Boise flooring stores:
Traditional Hardwood
Classic hardwood flooring styles featuring timeless wood species like oak, maple, and hickory in natural or stained finishes. Traditional hardwood flooring often includes standard plank sizes and smooth surface textures.
Wide Plank Hardwood
Wide plank hardwood flooring has gained popularity for its modern and spacious appearance. This style features wider planks (typically over 5 inches wide) that showcase the natural beauty and character of the wood grain.
Engineered Hardwood
Engineered hardwood flooring offers increased stability and durability, making it suitable for areas with fluctuating humidity levels. This style features a real wood veneer layer bonded to a plywood or high-density fiberboard (HDF) core.
Hand-Scraped Hardwood
Hand-scraped hardwood flooring replicates the rustic look of handcrafted wood floors, featuring subtle texture variations and distressed surface treatments. This style adds warmth and character to both traditional and contemporary interiors.
Wire-Brushed Hardwood
Wire-brushed hardwood flooring has a textured surface created by gently brushing the wood with a wire brush. This style enhances the natural grain patterns of the wood while providing a slightly weathered or aged appearance.
Gray and Whitewashed Hardwood
Gray and whitewashed hardwood flooring has become increasingly popular for its contemporary and coastal-inspired aesthetics. This style features light-colored finishes that brighten and open up living spaces.
Exotic Hardwood Species
Exotic hardwood flooring offers unique grain patterns, colors, and textures not typically found in domestic wood species. Popular exotic hardwoods may include Brazilian cherry, tigerwood, acacia, and teak.
Matte Finish Hardwood
Matte finish hardwood flooring has a low sheen level that enhances the natural beauty of the wood while providing a modern and understated look. This style is popular for its durability and ability to conceal scratches and imperfections.
Mixed Width Hardwood
Mixed width hardwood flooring combines planks of varying widths to create a dynamic and visually interesting floor pattern. This style adds depth and dimension to any room while allowing for creative customization.
Reclaimed and Distressed Hardwood
Reclaimed and distressed hardwood flooring offers a vintage and rustic look by repurposing wood from old buildings, barns, and factories. This style adds character and history to modern interiors.
In Boise, ID, the high desert climate presents unique challenges for hardwood flooring due to its fluctuating moisture and humidity levels throughout the year. The winter brings snow, which melts quickly, while spring is characterized by frequent, windy weather changes. The dry, hot summers can lead to shrinking, while the cooler, more humid fall helps stabilize the wood. This variability can cause hardwood to expand and contract, leading to potential warping or gaps. Therefore, proper care and maintenance are essential to preserve the beauty and durability of hardwood floors. Using a humidifier in dry seasons and ensuring adequate ventilation during humid periods can help maintain a stable environment for hardwood, preventing damage and prolonging its lifespan.
Our customers choose hardwood flooring for its many advantages, including:
Q: Is hardwood flooring durable enough for my active family?
A: Yes, hardwood floors are known for their natural durability and can last a lifetime with proper care. They are an excellent choice for families, especially in a community that enjoys outdoor activities, as they can handle the hustle and bustle of active lifestyles.
Q: How often should hardwood floors be refinished?
A: It’s recommended to refinish hardwood floors every 7 to 10 years to maintain their appearance and durability. Quickly cleaning up spills and addressing scratches with stain sticks or wax fillers can help preserve their condition between refinishing.
Q: Is hardwood flooring waterproof?
A: Hardwood floors are not waterproof like laminates or luxury vinyl planks (LVP). While they offer the beauty of natural wood, they require more care. It’s important to promptly clean up spills to prevent water from seeping into the floor.
Q: Should I choose hardwood floors or vinyl floors?
A: To decide between hardwood and vinyl flooring, consider the differences in appearance, maintenance, and durability. For more information, check out our vinyl flooring page.
