Hardwood flooring comes in many many different widths and lengths. Wide plank hardwood flooring has become increasing popular and is now available in widths even greater than ten inches. More classic looks use smaller strips of hardwood flooring and are usually more affordable. Each type of width creates a different look, feel, and mood.
Wide-Plank Hardwood Flooring
One way of categorizing hardwood flooring depends on width. When hardwood flooring is more than 3 inches in width, it is considered plank hardwood flooring. Plank hardwood flooring gives a clean look as well as comfort, coziness and a modern or country style to a room. Plank hardwood flooring usually comes from exotic trees and is a preferred choice among homeowners. The characteristics of the wood grain are more present in plank hardwood flooring.
Skinny Strip Hardwood Flooring
The most popular and most common type of hardwood widths is strip hardwood. Strip hardwood flooring is usually 2.25 to 3 inches in width. Because of its narrower cut compared to plank hardwood, using this strip hardwood creates the illusion of making a small room appear bigger than its actual size. Many people prefer the classic look of strip hardwood flooring, and in some cases may provide more affordability.
Parquet Hardwood Flooring
Parquet hardwood flooring is a fantastic contrast to standard hardwood flooring. Parquet is usually customized to the exact specifications of the buyer and creates a very elegant look. Available in many modern patterns as well as classic European styles, parquet adds tremendous value because of its customized design and unique appearance. It is a great design feature for large rooms like dining rooms, living rooms, and ballrooms.
