Tips on Choosing Wide Plank Flooring For Your Home

Planning to replace the wood floor in your house? Wide plank flooring would be an excellent choice over

narrow width wood floors due to several reasons. Here are some excellent tips help you choose from a

wide range of wide plank flooring options available.

Color and Pattern

It’s always wise to choose a wood with the color and pattern that enhances the style and decor of your

home. Colors should match with the furniture in the room so that it gives a royal and elegant look in

shades of pleasant light. Woods like oaks, birches, Pines, and hickories can provide a splendid look to a

room, while cherries, walnuts, or stained woods gives more elegant or formal look.

Durable and stable

Solid wood plank flooring is very durable in nature and it will last for generations. Birch, maple, and ash

are the hardest available ones. Woods like Red and white oak, walnut and pine are easier to stain.

Width and size of Plank

The plank width and size should look proportional to the room. Wider planks suits better for larger

rooms and reveals a wood's knotting or burling. For smaller rooms, narrow-width planks tend to suit

better. Selecting the highest grade of wood that meets your budget & suits the home puts you in a

comfort level.

Finishing

Proper finishing of the wide plank flooring ensures longevity. Especially in case of kitchen, this is an

important factor. Tung oil is best for a natural finish as it can adjust with the floor's hue with any

number of stains and finishes. It will preserve the solid-wood floor for generations. Proper finished wide

plank flooring not only lasts long but also saves you from intermittent maintenance.
