Choosing A Finish For Your Hardwood Floors

One thing that all hardwood floors need is a finish. Sometimes it can be difficult to make a decision with so many choices, but asking yourself a few key questions will get you pointed in the right direction.

  1. Are you refinishing your floors or are they brand new? 

  2. Do you want to keep the look of the natural wood or change the color?

  3. Is the floor a high traffic area?

  4. What kind of VOC(volatile organic compound) content does it have?

  5. How durable do you want it to be?

  6. What is your project timeframe, i.e. do you need it to dry quickly?

By determining the answer to these questions, you’ll be able to narrow down your choices with ease. A knowledgeable contractor can also assist you with choosing a finish when you are installing or refinishing your floor.

2021 Flooring Influences

There are a number of factors influencing design trends this year, but Covid has presented as a unique factor in dictating this year’s trends. For example, neutral tones and natural materials will be making a comeback because they provide a sense of comfort and security. Another flooring trend that will be popular is bold grain patterned hardwood floors. These bold grain patterns are great for showcasing the natural beauty of hardwood and can be the highlight of a room. The pandemic has also made cleanliness a topic of discussion, meaning people will be more likely to move away from carpet due to it trapping more dust and allergens. Hardwood and LVP are easy to maintain and clean, some LVP manufacturers, like Mannington Mills, are even creating products with antimicrobial surfaces for additional protection against germs. Products like this are likely to be popular in both residential and commercial spaces with so many benefits.
