Our agents have put together a brief article touching upon the recent trends in hardwood flooring.

Based out of New England, National Floors Direct's most popular floor covering is hardwood. We have found that hardwood really sets an interior mood for New England homeowners. Hardwood brings a certain type of elegance to any home. Hardwood also varies in styles, species, finishes, etc.

The first trend within hardwood flooring is Cypress. Cypress is often compared to a knotty pine, since at first glance; it often is mistaken for pine. Cypress has a more earthy tone, giving it several advantages over other species of hardwood flooring. The color of Cypress makes it extremely versatile to fit a variety of interior styles. Cypress will match the wood of any dining room table, chair, or cabinet. The natural knots and swirls that make up Cypress allow the floors to withstand consistent wear and tear. National Floors Directs sticking with a clear sealant for Cypress flooring. The natural beauty and characteristics are what makes this one of the leading species in hardwood flooring.

The next most popular trend within hardwood flooring is Hickory. Hickory has led as the number one species of flooring used in hardwood installation. Much like the Cypress, Hickory is compatible with any design and any type of wood. Oaks, Maples, and Cherry trees do not have the same versatility. Hickory floors are usually described as having several different shades of browns and tans making it easy to match any stain or species.
