Characteristically darker colored woods are used for a more formal or antique look while lighter colored woods are used for a casual country look. Fortunately the choices of wood flooring are not limited to the color variations. The natural characters and grades of wood flooring, the different widths of wood flooring, the style in which the floor is laid, and of course borders, feature strips, and custom designs make your wood floor an exhilarating challenge.
Hardwood flooring will last a lifetime with simple care and maintenance. Your wood floor should never have to be replaced, however over time if your finish dulls you may opt to refinish your floor for a brand new look. Another option may be to simply screen and re-coat your floor for a fresher newer look, however your floor may never need to be refinished at all.
