All About Hardwood

When shopping for hardwood floors, there are many things to consider. The type of wood, finish, and installation method all play a role in creating the perfect floor for your space. Whether you need floors for your house or commercial flooring, let us help guide you through the options to make an informed decision for your home or business.

As you shop for hardwood flooring, there are many factors to consider.

Hardwood Types

Hamernick’s carries many types of hardwood flooring. Each has its own advantages, but you have to take your budget, room’s conditions and preferred installation method into account. Let’s dive into the different types of hardwood flooring so you can make an informed decision for your home or business.

Solid hardwood flooring is authentic and timeless. It consists of a single piece of wood that’s cut and milled into various plank sizes. Solid hardwood can be sanded and refinished multiple times, so it is a durable, long-lasting flooring option. It is often nailed or stapled down to a wooden subfloor, but installation requires professional expertise.

Engineered hardwood is a popular alternative to solid hardwood. It has a real wood veneer top, which is a thin layer of the desired wood species that sits on high-quality pieces of plywood arranged in a criss-cross pattern. It also has a high-density fiberboard (HDF) core. Its layered construction gives these floors more stability that can fight expanding and contracting in temperature changes through the seasons. Its versatility to handle multiple types of subfloors make it a favorite among homeowners.

Glue-down hardwood flooring involves sticking each plank directly to the subfloor using a special adhesive. The installation method is common among solid and engineered hardwood. Glue-down installation provides a strong, stable subfloor and is most common in commercial settings or rooms with high moisture levels. However, the process is more time-consuming than floating or nail-down installations.

This hardwood installation method doesn’t require adhesives or nails. Instead, the planks interlock or adhere to each other, forming a “floating” floor above the subfloor. A thin foam or cork underlayment is put underneath, which provides additional cushioning and sound-dampening benefits. Floating hardwood installations are often simple and allow for flexibility even with subfloor irregularities.

Hardwood Finishes

Hardwood flooring offers a wide array of choices. Each has its own distinct character and benefits. From timeless oak and rustic hickory to luxurious cherry and eco-friendly bamboo, there’s hardwood flooring finish for every taste and style.

Time-tested, sturdy and versatile, oak is often a go-to option. Its unique grain patterns and warm tones allow it to complement various interior styles ranging from traditional to contemporary. It is durable, can handle heavy foot traffic and is ideal for active households.

Maple hardwood flooring has a subtle, creamy hue that adds brightness and radiance to any room. Its fine, uniform texture makes it popular for both modern and minimalist designs.

Infuse a bit of luxury into your space with cherry hardwood flooring. Its reddish-brown hues deepen over time, lending a rich and luxurious feel to your home. Cherry is a softer wood, making it more susceptible to dings, but with proper care, it develops a stunning patina that only enhances its charm.

For those looking for a beautiful, sophisticated floor, walnut hardwood is the perfect choice. Its deep, dark tones with intricate grain patterns create a refined and distinctive look. Although walnut is not as hard as oak, it makes up for it with its unparalleled beauty and opulence.

For a rustic, country-style vibe, hickory is a fantastic choice. With its wide range of colors, from pale whites to deep browns, hickory exudes natural charm and is known for its strength and durability.

Mahogany is known for its rich reddish-brown color and luxurious appearance. Its interlocking grain patterns add elegance and class to any room, making it a great choice for traditional and high-end spaces.

Hardwood Benefits

Hardwood flooring offers a plethora of benefits that make it a popular choice for homeowners. As a trusted flooring supplier, we’re here to help you explore some of the key advantages:

Hardwood floors never go out of style. With their natural beauty and unique grain patterns, they add sophistication to any home and work well with any interior design.

When properly maintained, hardwood floors can last for generations. They can endure heavy foot traffic, making them a wise long-term investment.

Hardwood floors are relatively easy to clean and maintain. Regular sweeping and occasional damp mopping will keep them looking pristine for years to come.

Hardwood flooring is a highly sought-after feature for homebuyers. By installing hardwood floors, you’re adding value to your home, making it a smart investment both now and in the future.

Hardwood floors naturally provide heat insulation, helping to maintain a comfortable temperature in your home during the colder months.

Hardwood Services

At Hamernick’s, we don’t just sell hardwood flooring—we offer expert flooring services to ensure your floors are installed, restored, and maintained with care and precision. Our team has the knowledge, tools, and expertise to deliver beautiful, long-lasting results.

Hardwood installation requires precision and expertise. Our professional installers assess your space and subfloor conditions to choose the best installation method—whether it’s nail-down, glue-down, or floating—ensuring a seamless, durable floor.

Over time, hardwood floors can develop scratches and surface damage. Sanding is the process of removing the top layer of wood to reveal a smooth, fresh surface. This can help restore your floors to their original beauty and prepare them for refinishing or staining.

Staining your hardwood floors allows you to change or enhance their color. With a variety of stains available, you can achieve the perfect hue to complement your home’s design.

Finishing is the final step in the hardwood process. We apply a protective finish to seal the wood and guard against slight topical moisture, stains, and daily wear. The finish also gives your floors a beautiful sheen. We offer a variety of finishes, including polyurethane, wax, and penetrating oils, each providing different levels of durability.
