Where to use hardwood
Choosing hardwood based on lifestyle
Before making a hardwood flooring decision, consider your lifestyle.
Hardwood is durable and can withstand a fair amount of use. It is wise, however, to be somewhat cautious. A home with a lot of traffic will be best served by a hard species of wood such as hickory or oak. If few people live in a home, softer species of hardwood work well.Let us, Danielle and Donna, a mother-daughter team who own and operate Carpet World & Floor Covering of Colorado Springs, be of assistance. We provide the kind of service our customers from Monument, Colorado Springs, Castle Rock, and Black Forest deserve. Our hardwood selection is on display in our Colorado Springs, CO showroom.
