Choosing Wood for Your New Flooring Installation in Glendale, AZ

Choosing Wood for Your New Flooring Installation in Glendale, AZ

 

One of the easiest ways to give your old kitchen a facelift is to change the flooring. One of the most common flooring choices now is wood floors (either hardwood, laminated, or engineered). All of those options can look fabulous, but they can also have some drawbacks. Here's what to consider when deciding whether or not to get a wood kitchen Flooring Installation in Glendale, AZ.

 

Wood flooring looks sophisticated and smooth, and technology has improved to the point where wood flooring can last a long, long time even in a water-filled environment like the kitchen. Many types of wood flooring, even laminated, aren't built to resist spills, but there are more liquid-resistant options available for you now. Wood is relatively simple to replace -- you can replace a board or plank rather than the whole floor -- but it can be expensive depending on the type you choose. Laminate may be cheaper to fix than engineered, for example.

 

However, wood can also chip and scratch easily, and that means the protective coating or sealant can be breached, allowing moisture into the wood or laminate material. That can lead to warping. If you have a high-traffic kitchen with pets and kids running around, or you tend to drop a lot of items, wood might not work, or at least, you may want to stick to types that are less expensive to replace. But if you rarely drop things and don't have pet claws, soccer cleats, or other issues like that to worry about, wood can be a lovely choice. Hardwood, especially, can give a kitchen a vintage feel, as long as you can care for it and keep your new Flooring Installation in Glendale, AZ in great shape.
