Wood flooring comes in many styles and is available with numerous edge treatments such as square, micro, and bevelled edges. The state-of-the-art technology and almost limitless choices of today's stains, finishes, styles and designs makes wood flooring one of the most practical and versatile floor coverings available.

The shade of wood flooring you choose can dramatically change the look of your room. You can complement the other design aspects in the room, bringing continuity and balance to the overall design. Lighter colours of hardwood help small rooms appear larger, while rich, dark tones add drama to larger rooms to create a warmer, more intimate feel.  

One of the most popular attributes of wood flooring, is its' natural coloration. Wood flooring adapts to any style, now or in the future. For rooms with plenty of natural light, you may want to consider some of the darker tones available. If the room doesn't have natural light, you can lighten it up considerably by choosing a floor with a lighter colour. Just remember, you can avoid being tied to a particular scheme by choosing natural colours. 

Wood flooring comes in a variety of strip and plank options. Strip flooring is either a single strip design per plank or 2 strip designs per plank or the traditional looking 3 strip design per plank. You can visually expand the size of your room by laying a wood floor and opening out that space. Choose a design that corresponds to the overall scale of the room.

Bevelled edge planks can help delineate detail in the natural wood and adds a more casual feel while square edge planks fit flush against each other creating a smooth, traditional look. An eased or micro-bevelled edge creates an angled effect where boards meet to create more depth and dimension while creating a more casual, relaxed look. These profiles can give the overall floor pattern distinctively different looks.
