Maple hardwood flooring. Maple is one of the most popular types of hardwood flooring, everybody adores it’s light colour and natural view. Maybe it’s colour maybe too light for rooms with high traffic, so think if you can afford yourself regular maintenance of it.
Ash hardwood flooring. Ash is one of the favourite types of wood for it’s strength but if you have a look at the pictures you may see that it’s colour suits mostly for wooden houses with wooden furniture designed in wooden style.
Pine flooring. Pine wood becomes more and more popular for it’s nice look and easy maintenance. Though it is not really hardwood flooring already.
Birch flooring. It is the same about birch. Though as well as pine it is a softwood, still it is used in flooring and is very popular for it’s view.
Bamboo flooring. though bamboo is a type of grass, it is considered to be one of the most strong flooring and this means that your floor will look nice and will need less maintenance that the other types and that is why bamboo is so popular in furniture also, not only flooring.
Fir flooring. Not everybody likes fir. It is up to you to decide to buy it or not. Cause according to customers reviews some people like it and so not, so if you are not sure it is better to look for maple and oak flooring.
Oak hardwood flooring probably is the most popular one. Why? It has a lot of colours to choose. You can decorate your house in any colours you want, dark light, any. It is affordable, looks very beautiful and strong as a type of wood. You will enjoy your flooring for years and it can be one of the best investments in your house.
