I
love a simple and natural living room designs, designing a simple house can be
start from choosing the materials of the floors, one of the best choice on
floor plan is the hardwood floor. Hardwood floors are popular and it is easy
care and cleaning, great style coupled with durability and as always, they’re
natural and safe for the environment. They are extremely good and have some
great benefits as well as being impressive to look at as well. Hardwood can
also improve the warmth and the beauty of the living room. If you take proper
care of your hardwood floors, they will last for years and years. A lot of
homeowners make the choice of using hardwood floors in their home compared to
using traditional carpets or other material’s flooring.
In
order to get a natural but modern look of the hardwood floor, you can choose a
hardwood with tile style, a hardwood that designed in a special style so the
hardwood looks like a tile. Its can reflects the traditionally warm aesthetics
and high-performance, making them the favorite choice of homeowners, its also
can enabling
a unique antique look once the floor is installed.
Now
we need to know about the various hardwood floorings available in the market.
The
original form of hardwood flooring is the solid wood where strips, parquets and
planks of solid wood are available. But laying them is a tough job and there is
no chance that you can do it yourself. It is very hardy and if maintained with
just a little bit of care, it can last generations.
But
people avoid original hardwood flooring because of its cost and difficulty in
laying. So they go for engineered wood. Engineered wood is wood and not wood at
the same time. It is layers of wood veneer fused together. Good quality wood
and bad quality wood are used in manufacture of this material and hence the
lower cost. Other advantages are that you can get many designs and textures and
these floorings are especially engineered to withstand different weather
conditions, chemicals, temperatures and humidity.
Among
the toughest of the engineered hardwood floors are the ones where planks of
hardwood are given an acrylic coating. This coating makes them resistance to
scratches. So the surface stays intact for a long time. So this flooring is
very useful for areas with high footfall. Hardwood flooring is also available
in two types – the pre-finished and unfinished types. The pre-finished type of
hardwood flooring is easy to lay and you can even do it yourself with proper
tools.
