Hardwood flooring trends

Hardwood is an eco-friendly and sustainable flooring material that doesn't harbor dirt or allergens in the home. Of course, classic beauty is the main reason that most homeowners choose this long-favored floor covering. Oak is the preferred domestic wood species. More costly exotic hardwoods, like teak and tigerwood, are in vogue. You are sure to find the domestic or exotic solid hardwood flooring that is right for your home at Blue Ribbon Floor & Window Covering in Burbank, California. We have a selection of engineered wood flooring, too.

Flooring style


Today, many homeowners opt for versatile engineered wood rather than traditional solid wood. This manufactured flooring, which has a plywood base, tolerates moisture. And since it is usually designed for floating floor installation, it can be installed in most home areas.

Looks


Glossy is 'out,' but semi-gloss and matte finishes are 'in.' Smooth surface flooring is a perennial favorite, but now, it competes with textured flooring. As a result, rustic handscraped planks have a worn, distressed appearance, while two-toned wire brushed planks show off the darker grains of wood.

Stains


Light and dark stains, instead of traditional medium-hued stains, are most commonly chosen by homeowners. Blonde and slightly darker honey wood is trendy, along with whitewashed and light gray wood. Dark walnut and charcoal are popular shades at the other end of the color spectrum.
