Hardwood: Specialty

Creating a traditional or rustic-looking space is easy when using wide plank hardwood. With wider planks, natural wood grain is more visible, along with knotting and unique imperfections, highlighting the natural features that make hardwood a beautiful option for the home. Some wide plank flooring options feature less knots for a cleaner look, if a more contemporary or modern feel is your end goal.

When choosing hardwood flooring, it’s important to weigh out your color options to best suit the look you are trying to achieve. Using lighter shades of hardwood can help to open up your space, while darker shades are usually better suited for larger rooms with open floor plans. No matter which color you choose, wider planks allow for fewer seams between each individual board, naturally creating fewer visual breaks in the natural lines of both the wood and room.
