Kansas City homeowners use <strong>hardwood flooring<\/strong> in several rooms of the home, kitchens, living rooms, family rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Engineered and Wood Laminate Floors<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Engineered floors are also called \u2018floating flooring\u2019 because the wood pieces are not attached to the sub-floor. Pieces of flooring either snap together or are glued together. Engineered floors are made from plastic laminate veneers or with a real wood finish. This is inexpensive to purchase and install. Homeowners have commented that the end product may feel l hollow and low in quality. It may also have a tendency to look wavy and buckle.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Reclaimed, Bamboo and Cork<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The beauty, durability and charm of hardwood flooring is a great choice for remodeling your flooring. Solid wood flooring is made from a variety of woods such as Red Oak, White Oak, Birch, Beech, Pine, Brazilian Cherry, Eucalyptus, Cork and Douglas Fir. Red Oak is the most popular floor choice in the U.S. You can order your solid wood flooring in 2 options such as unfinished or finished. Pre-finished is less expensive and saves homeowners the expense of labor, time and cleanup. Choosing an unfinished wood gives you all the customized options available for stain and finishes.<\/p>\n<p>There are also the specialty wood choices such as distressed wide planks, reclaimed pine, maple plank, cork, ebonized hardwood, and reclaimed wood.<\/p>\n<p>Remodeling your current floor to a solid wood floor in your home always starts off with ensuring the sub-floor is ready to receive the wood you choose by making sure the sub-floor does not move. If the floor is not secured, the homeowner will hear squeaks from the nails or staples that are used in the application.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kcartisanconstruction.com\/flooring\/hardwood-floors-kansas-city\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-612 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kcartisanconstruction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Flooring-Wood-dark-1024x384.jpg\" alt=\"Dark Hardwood Floors by Artisan Construction, 7321 N Antioch Gladstone, MO  64119\" width=\"1024\" height=\"384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kcartisanconstruction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Flooring-Wood-dark-1024x384.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kcartisanconstruction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Flooring-Wood-dark-300x112.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A wonderful choice, solid wood floors require refinishing maintenance every 7-10 years, depending on use, dogs, and traffic flow. If you refinish the floors before the wear gets into the stain, we can reapply the top coat only, saving you the expense of sanding and refinishing. Sanding oak floors, staining and finishing hardwood floors will give a homeowner an opportunity to give a room a different look and feel in the process! When cleaning your hardwood we recommend staying away from abrasive cleaners. Warm water is the best and the safest cleaner possible for your hardwood, reclaimed wood, cork or bamboo flooring.<\/p>\n<p>Tip: If you are getting ready to remodel your basement, it is a good time to deal with the creaks or noises that your hardwood floor can create over the years above the basement. Artisan Construction can eliminate those noises before the basement ceiling is added. \u00a0Before the basement is finished, take care of those irritating noises while you can!<\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Contact us today.
