Atlanta Hardwood Flooring Stresses the Importance of Choosing the Right Hardwood Floors

    ATLANTA, GA, February 15, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Several factors must be considered in order to select the best Atlanta hardwood flooring option. The specialists at Atlanta Hardwood Flooring want to help homeowners make an informed decision when installing new floors. In order for the investment to last a lifetime, it is crucial to understand the differences in hardwood flooring.

Solid hardwood flooring and engineered hardwood flooring are the two basic types of real Atlanta wood flooring to be considered. Solid hardwood flooring is milled from a single piece of lumber, whereas engineered wood flooring is a laminated veneer of wood layers.

Engineered wood flooring is always prefinished at the factory. Solid hardwood flooring is usually sanded, stained and finished on site; however there are prefinished options available. There are many colors to choose from for prefinished hardwood flooring in Atlanta, though there is no option for a custom stain color as there is with site-finished hardwood floors. Prefinished hardwood flooring eliminates much of the mess created by sanding and finishing hardwood floors on-site.

"Both solid and engineered hardwood flooring can add beauty and value to a home," explains PJ Hart, owner of Atlanta Hardwood Flooring, "but there are a few factors beyond personal taste that need to be considered for the best results. This is why I always spend time with the customer to be sure that they understand the options and are really going to get the best floor for their situation."

Factors that homeowners should consider include the type of existing subflooring where the hardwood flooring will be installed, whether or not the space is above or below grade, and the traffic and use the space is going to experience. The experts from Atlanta Hardwood Flooring can conduct a site evaluation to assess your needs and make a recommendation. For more information, visit http://www.atlantahardwoodflooring.com.
