If you want hardwood floors in Colorado Springs, CO, but are uncertain of the next step, consider the following.
 

Solid or engineered hardwood

 
Solid hardwood is made from pieces of wood that are typically ¾ inches thick. Durable species that stain well include:
  • Cherry
  • Hickory
  • Ash
  • Maple
  • Walnut
Engineered hardwood is a combination of several layers. The top layer can be any species available in solid hardwood. The other layers are interlaced plywood, SPF fingers, or finger core hardwood.

It is possible to sand and refinish solid hardwood, which could eventually save money on replacement costs.

Where to use hardwood floors in Colorado Springs, CO

 
Due to the susceptibility to humidity and moisture, solid hardwood is used only at grade or above, and in climates that do not experience drastic humidity changes from one season to the next. Bathrooms are not good places to install solid hardwood. A large amount of water that passes through bathrooms can cause serious problems if there is a leak.

Choosing hardwood based on lifestyle

 
Before making a hardwood flooring decision, consider your lifestyle.
  • How many people reside in the home?
  • Are there children?
  • What will the room be used for?
Hardwood is durable and can withstand a fair amount of use. It is wise, however, to be somewhat cautious. A home with a lot of traffic will be best served by a hard species of wood such as hickory or oak. If few people live in a home, softer species of hardwood work well.
