Oak Floors Online: How to Bring Out the Best in Your Home with Oak Wood Flooring

Jan. 14, 2010 - PRLog -- As 2010 gets into full swing, a lot of people will be looking to improve certain areas of their lives for the new year, not least their homes. Some may choose to redecorate their living room; others might install a new kitchen. However, there is one feature of the house that is often looked at as unimportant, yet could bring out the best in your home; the flooring.

When it comes to home flooring, there are many different choices depending on which room of the house you’re looking to decorate. The most common dilemma for the majority of rooms is carpet versus wooden flooring. In recent years wooden flooring has grown in popularity in homes up and down Britain, due to its elegance and value for money, and the wood of choice seems to be oak, not only because of its beauty but also its durability.

Oak wood floors are an ever popular choice for home flooring as, no matter how often design trends come and go, oak flooring will always be fashionable. The look of an oak wood floor can add style and sophistication to almost any room.

It is vital that you choose the correct style of oak wood flooring to suit your needs. The best place to start is choosing whether you would like solid or engineered oak flooring. Solid oak flooring is made from a single piece of wood, and as such would need to be installed onto a permanent floor with glue or nails. Engineered wood is a layer of veneered oak wood on top of several layers of standard wood. This wood is sometimes more simple to install than solid wood, as it can be laid on top of almost any surface by using the ‘floating’ method of installation.

The widths of oak floor boards usually range from 2 ¼ inches wide to about 7 inches, the most common widths being five inches or lower. It is a misconception that wider boards offer more structure; each board is as sturdy as the next, no matter its width. From a cosmetic point of view, narrower boards are an excellent choice for smaller rooms, as they can make a room seem a lot bigger than it actually is. On the other hand, a large room is more suited to a wider board, so that’s where the wide Engineered oak flooring would look best.

Another important aspect to consider when choosing your oak wood flooring is the colour. A dark oak floor can add a sense of grandeur and antiquity to a room, while a lighter finish can offer a more modern look, and brighten up a room that has no access to natural light.

Whichever type of oak flooring you choose for your home, it is important that you buy from the right supplier. Oak Floors Online specialise in top quality oak flooring and prides itself on over-delivering when it comes to customer service and quality of product.
