Hardwood is a classic choice for designer and homeowner's home decor. Selecting the right type of hardwood floor is an important decision. A number of factors must be considered. In addition to style, the function and the size of each room are likely to influence your choice.
If you choose the right type of hardwood floor, it will give you the endless beauty, quality, and satisfaction from every angle.

Here are some selections you can make: (See Hardwood Grading System).

Clear is wood that has very few flaws or character marks.
Select has a bright grain, a few flaws, and most pieces match well.
No.1 Common has both light and dark pieces, some marks.
No.2 Common allows for all character marks; like knots, worm holes, and discoloration.

* If you want an immaculate, uniform floor, consider spending more to get one of the premium grades.

* If you want to add character and warmth to a room, the Common grades are good choices.
