The use of hardwood comes with the reputation of durability, ability to reuse, make changes and reinvent every now and then. The proper choice of hardwood can also influence your choice of other services like hardwood refinishing in Riverside, hardwood sending in Riverside, hardwood resending in Riverside, Hardwood recounting in Riverside or even Hardwood Floor repairs in Riverside. 

As noted hardwood installers in Riverside, we recommend the use of the traditional solid three fourth inch hardwood that has a long life span based on proper maintenance with the option for ongoing refinishing and change of colors. Another popular choice for hardwood is the prefinished engineered wood. This seems similar to the ply wood in construction though they come with the surface clad with hardwood veneer called as wear layer. The decision to choose the right prefinished wood depends on the thickness of the wear layer which could range from thin to thick. It must be remembered that thick layers can be refinished when required as compared to thin layers. The pricing of this depends on its thickness; hence price should not be the deciding factor is your purchase behavior. 

As distinguished hardwood installers in Riverside we recommend that proper care of your hardwood floor can extend its life for close to 10-20 years. While refinishing can be undertaken every 5 years, the decision to refinish should not be based on little scratches or dents in the floor. With this in mind, we recommend you choose the product with a thick wear layer of 1/8” or more.
