ABOUT WOOD
Being well-informed is crucial when investing in True hardwood flooring.
Here are some key points to consider:
∗ Light Sensitivity: Different wood species can change color over time when exposed to light. For example, some woods may darken, while others might lighten.
∗ Environmental Factors: Humidity and temperature can affect wood flooring. Engineered wood tends to handle these changes better than solid wood.
∗ Fuming and Treatments: Treatments like fuming can enhance the wood’s natural grain and color, giving it a unique look.
Other treatments might include staining, oiling, or lacquering, each offering different levels of protection and aesthetic appeal.
∗ Wear and Tear: Understand the wear layer’s thickness and the number of times it can be sanded and refinished. This can significantly impact the floor’s longevity.
INSTALLATION
Proper installation of the True hardwood flooring and care can make all the difference in maintaining the beauty and longevity of your Hallmark Floors.
Here are some key tips:
∗ Subfloor Preparation: Ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, and level before installation. This provides a stable base for your flooring.
∗ Acclimatization: Let the wood acclimate to the room’s humidity and temperature for at least 48 hours before installation.
∗ Layout Planning: Plan the layout of your planks before starting to ensure a balanced appearance and avoid any sudden color or grain pattern changes.
∗ Proper Tools: Use the correct tools and techniques recommended by Hallmark Floors for the True hardwood flooring installation to avoid damaging the planks.
PLANK CONSTRUCTION
The construction of engineered True wood flooring offers several advantages while maintaining the look of solid wood.

∗ Installation Versatility: It can be installed over various types of subfloors, including concrete, which is challenging for solid hardwood.
∗ Sustainability: The plywood core often uses wood from faster-growing species, making it a more sustainable option than using solid hardwood throughout.
∗ Cost-Effective: Engineered wood can be more cost-effective than solid wood, while still offering the same aesthetic benefits.
The choice between solid and engineered wood ultimately comes down to personal preference and the specific needs of your space.

∗ Avoid Excess Water: Excessive moisture can harm the wood. Never use a wet mop; always go for a slightly damp one.
