Hardwood is real, solid wood, harvested from real trees. It’s not man-made or engineered. Hardwoods come unfinished or pre-finished. It’s important to pay attention to the hardness of whichever wood you choose, to match it to your lifestyle and budget. It’s also crucial to choose the right area of your home in which to have it installed. In general, hardwoods perform better in areas where humidity is controlled and they are less likely to absorb moisture. For example, bathrooms, basements, or any other potentially moist and humid areas are not usually a good choice for most hardwoods.
