Options offer creative flooring solutions

Today's homeowners have many more options when it comes to hardwood flooring. There was a time when the decision was between white or red oak hardwood. Today, hardwood flooring provides varied choices and a wealth of creative solutions.

For example, one of the latest trends in hardwood is hand- scraped and distressed engineered hardwoods.

"These floors embody a rugged, aged appeal that has quickly caught on among homeowners seeking the nostalgic luster of antique flooring with all the benefits of modern hardwood," says Bob Weseman, Vice President of Hard Surfaces for Mohawk Industries, the world's largest flooring provider. "Along with enhanced durability and moisture resistance, these hand-scraped hardwoods are individually hand-carved plank by plank, so that no two pieces are exactly alike, adding historic character and old world charm to any living or dining room."

Another departure from the traditional is the trend toward exotics. An ever-increasingly diverse range of solid exotics bring unique hardwood species straight to the home.

"Mohawk's Brazilian Cherry

has been an instant top-seller because of its distinctly warm color pallet and depth-enhancing applied stains," says Weseman. "Exotics like Brazilian Cherry are luring consumers with a 93 percent harder surface and 25 percent greater stability, which mean less cupping and gapping."

Combined with today's finest innovations, hardwood flooring can display its distinguished elegance without the wear and tear. Homeowners can use Mohawk flooring to beautify their homes.
