Today, the varieties of wood floors which have long been in use still enjoy justifiable popularity for residences and commercial spaces. This includes traditional domestic solid hardwood wood floors made from oak, cherry, maple, ash, and walnut among other species. But technology, innovation, and imagination have expanded the choices in wood flooring to an even greater degree.
Even more recently, exotic species such as jatoba (AKA Brazilian cherry), toona, taun, and tigerwood have made a splash in the wood flooring industry, offering even more choices for look and durability. Bamboo flooring, reclaimed pine engineered wood floors, and cork flooring, with their unique looks and impressive durability, have come forth as significantly attractive and environmentally-friendly wood flooring alternatives. Engineered hardwood wood flooring utilizes real hardwood, but also allows for greater resistance to expansion, moisture, and temperature change due to a multi-ply design.
