 Hardwood flooring is a classic flooring option that is elegant in design, timeless, has a great return on investment, and oh so ever popular. It doesn’t seem like its popularity is diminishing either. Within the last few years, there’s been an uprising trend in adding hardwood to the kitchen and bathrooms to match the rest of the home.  The two most popular hardwood flooring used is White Oak and Red Oak. We install all types of hardwood floors through out Chicagoland area.

   It’s easy to assume the red oak flooring is red and white oak flooring is white, (and for good reason). However, there is quite a difference between the two, more than having to do with color.  Red oak does have a pinkish undertone. Often in the unfinished form, you’re able to clearly see the pink graining. Depending on which stain you choose, the red/pink tones will be less noticeable. Not to forget that the darker you go, the more that red undertone will drown out. However, if you’re going to keep a natural finish, (meaning only polyurethane finish  will be applied) the red will show through much more. White oak is darker; yes, it’s actually a bit darker than red oak. Who would’ve thought, right? White Oak often has a yellow and brown undertone.We can alway suggest to you different types of floors for your home , just give us a call.

 

 

       Dust every day with a microfiber mop. We will recommend which one to buy. Microfiber cloths trap dirt, particles, pet hair and other household allergens with static electricity. Microfiber mop pads are more effective than sweeping with a broom. They’re also safer, since some broom bristles can scratch the floor's surface.
    When dusting with a microfiber mop, lift it off the floor as little as possible so that the dirt stays securely trapped on the pad.
    Daily dusting is your best line of defensive against scratches and surface damage.
 Vacuum every week with a soft-bristled floor-brush.
Dust the floor with the microfiber mop before you begin. If you leave a lot of debris on the floor when you vacuum, this can scratch the floor’s surface. After using the microfiber pad, carefully vacuum the floor using a floor-brush attachment.
    Use caution when vacuuming hardwood floors. Keep an eye on the vacuum’s wheels, which can damage the surface if you aren’t careful.
    Never use a vacuum with a beater bar attachment, since this can scratch the finish on the floor.Call Instart Flooring for all your flooring needs.
