About Wood

Wood Types

No two wood floors are exactly the same. A modern wood floor can be made from any of dozens of different species of trees, from domestic oaks and maples to exotic hardwoods from Africa and the Far East.

Each has a distinct cut, grain and grade, and each its own special character.
