Natural Hardwood Flooring

Natural Hardwood Floor Options for Your Home

With more than 1,000 types of wood, cork, and bamboo floors available, it can be difficult to decide which would be best for your home. Luckily, we're here to help. At Ron & Russ Floorings, we have over 30 years of experience providing natural hardwood floors in our Milwaukee, WI shop.

Hardwood floors are cozy, practical, and never go out of style. They're also sturdy, allowing them to last long and saving you from replacements every couple of years.

There are additional benefits that vary depending on the type of hardwood floor you purchase. We're familiar with each type each and our skilled staff can help you decide on what's best.

While all hardwood floors share general traits, each type has features that add to its appeal. For instance, oak, maple, and ash hardwood floors are durable and best for heavy foot traffic. Oak floors can also come in grain and shade patterns and textures while maple floors tend to be smoother.

Our floors also come in a variety of colors, including white, black, brown, tan, red, and gray. Whether you're looking for light and casual pattern to one that is elegant and expensive, we have what you're looking for.

Hardwood floors are usually described by board width. A strip is less than 3 inches wide. Planks are 3 inches wide or more. The width of a single board has a large influence on the appearance of your floor. Strips can make a room look and feel bigger, while planks are have a more rustic feel. Bare in mind that wide widths will complement a large room but could overwhelm a small area.

Before buying your hardwood floor, it's important to take into account the effects of lighting in your home. Soft yellow or white lightbulbs tint the color of your whole room, including your floor. Our friendly staff can give you samples of the floor to test the lighting before you make your final purchasing decision.

Whether you install your floor or ask us for assistance, it's important to keep in mind the floor must be nailed to the ground. Hardwood floor is also subject to shrinking and expanding from excessive heat or moisture.
