Explore the World Through Hardwood Floors

Hardwood flooring is a timeless classic that elevates the beauty and value of any home. But beneath that elegant surface lies a world of diversity. The type of wood, its origin, and its finish all play a role in the final look and feel of your floor. Here at EKO FLOORING, we're passionate about bringing you the finest hardwood floors from around the globe.

​

The Wood Underfoot

Hardwood flooring comes from a variety of tree species, each with its unique character. Here's a glimpse into some of the popular choices and their origins:

• Europe: Oak, a strong and versatile wood, hails from throughout Europe, including Spain and Italy. European Oak is prized for its tight grain patterns and consistent coloring, making it perfect for classic and contemporary spaces alike.

• North America: Hickory, a domestic favorite, offers a warm, golden hue and a distinctive, pronounced grain. Its resilience makes it ideal for high-traffic areas.

• South America: Brazilian Walnut, known for its rich, dark tones and exceptional durability, creates a luxurious feel.

• Southeast Asia: Teak, a water-resistant wood with a warm golden brown color, is perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, and high-humidity areas.

 

Why Hardwood Origin Matters

The origin of the wood influences not just the aesthetics but also its performance. Here's how:

• Climate: Trees growing in slower-growing climates tend to have a denser grain, resulting in harder and more durable wood. European Oak, for example, is known for its exceptional density.

• Species Variety: Different regions have a wider variety of wood species available. Teak, for instance, is primarily sourced from Southeast Asia.

• Sustainability: We prioritize responsible sourcing. Knowing the origin of our wood allows us to ensure sustainable forestry practices are followed.

 

Choosing the Best Hardwood Floor

With a vast selection of wood types and finishes, picking the right hardwood floor can seem daunting. But fret not! Our knowledgeable staff is here to guide you through the process. Consider these factors:

• Traffic: High-traffic areas require a more durable wood like Hickory or Oak.

• Décor: Lighter woods like Maple create an airy feel, while darker tones like Brazilian Walnut add a touch of sophistication.

• Lifestyle: If you have pets or young children, scratch resistance is a priority. Consider species known for their hardness.
