FLOOR SHOPPING - Ep. 02c - Must Hardwood Floors Change Color

09/06/24 • 6 min

Basically, yes! Most will, to some degree, and you should plan on it, on the final color. But how much do they change, how long will it take, and how can you tell what you'll end up with? I look into that here.
Here's a link to the illustrated piece I'm reading: Must Hardwood Floors Change Color

FLOOR SHOPPING - Ep. 02b - Hardwood Flooring Species

Deciding which hardwood you want to look at is a decision you'll make with your eyes, so here I talk about the various hardwood species sorted by hardness. Not all wood is the same; some are denser and more rugged than others, so in case that's a factor you want to consider, I go through some common candidates from softest to hardest.
The written & Illustrated post on Hardwood Flooring Species is there (at that underlined link a few words back).

FLOOR SHOPPING - Ep. 03. Where is Each Type of Floor Best

Just where can a hardwood floor go? Or more important, where shouldn't you use solid hardwood?

Each kind of flooring has strengths that the others don't, and today Dan and I go over those so that if your salesperson says, "Solid hardwood? In your basement? Sure!" you'll already know better.
After this full episode, where we talk floor-by-floor, I'm releasing a LOT of little episodes going room-by-room, each covering a specific room or home situation (like does anyone have allergies), so you can find the ones you need and rule out the ones you don't want.
I would just pick the ones that matter, so you don't have to hear me say "Solid hardwood isn't great with moisture" five or six times. How many rooms are you re-doing anyway? So we get it if you don't play all 13 of the follow-ups.
