Hardwoods
For flooring purposes, the wood from trees that are classified as being in the “hardwood” genus is preferred. However, you have to bear in mind that, in botany, this description relates to differences in the type of nut that a tree produces. Hardwood trees are known scientifically as non- monocotyledon angiosperm trees (this genus includes the balsa tree whose wood is noticeably soft and suitable for modeling).The softwoods (which include pine) are referred to as gymnosperm trees. Soft or hardwood trees have wood that may be of a different structure between trees but their main difference relates to their seeds (nuts).
Floor Covering
In most buildings, there is a subfloor which comprises the main structural element; for many years, subfloors have usually been of poured concrete. Since bare concrete is not particularly attractive in any way, it is usual to apply a covering on top of the subfloor. Hardwood floor coverings are considered both fashionable and practical by many people-particularly in affluent neighborhoods like Manhattan.
Arranging A Wood Flooring Installation In Manhattan
These days, wood floor coverings are mostly engineered from a durable hardwood. As a minimum this means that the wood has not only been cut to a suitable width, length and thickness but has also been machined so as one piece will be interlocked with the adjacent piece during the Wood Flooring Installation In Manhattan.
A newer, cost saving aspect of engineered hardwood flooring is to laminate a thin layer of the (expensive) natural hardwood onto a substrate of lower cost material such as basic plywood or fibre board. The choice is yours (and the constraints imposed by your budget).
