Species is one of the most important decisions you'll make when you choose wood flooring. However, along with the species comes a wide range of benefits and characteristics.

You'll want to know more about this feature as you move through your shopping process. So here are some facts that could help you choose the perfect species, regardless of need.

Species type determines the lifespan


Some species are much harder than others and offer more durability. These floors are harder to scratch and ding, giving you more durable surfaces, even in busy spaces.

Choosing the suitable species could mean the longest possible lifespan. For example, solid wood could mean more than 100 years of solid hardwood flooring service from your installation.

Species type matters in stain color choices


When you need the best stain color, species selection will be significant. Some hold a stain better than others, and with some, the stain color will change over time.

Each species reacts to and with stains differently, so be sure to ask questions. If you need a specific color to last through the years, you'll need particular species choices.
