Wood floors add warmth, beauty

The final type of wood flooring isn't wood at all but a laminate imitation. This flooring is made from photographs of wood placed between a fiberboard backing and a clear plastic coating. The advantages of this flooring material are the cost ($5-$8 per square foot installed), ease of installation (that homeowners can even do themselves), and its ability to take a beating.

It is exciting to have so many choices for a lovely wood floor. But like we always say, do your homework before you make your choice. Consider the function of the area and then pick the flooring that will do the best job.

Hardwood floors can make a room visually spectacular. These Bellawood floors came pre-finished with a rustic maple stain and have a 50-year factory warranty. Longevity and beauty are major selling points for wood floors. Cost and installation can be drawbacks.
