Bring warmth and richness to your space with hardwood flooring

When it comes to flooring that never goes out of style, hardwood flooring stands tall. It’s classic, warm, and incredibly durable. Whether you're redoing a single room or upgrading your entire space, hardwood adds value and charm like no other material. At Carpet Queen, we help homeowners and businesses find the perfect wood flooring that fits their lifestyle and budget. And we don’t just sell hardwood floors; we make the whole process easy, from selection to installation.

What is solid hardwood flooring?

Solid hardwood is exactly what it sounds like—planks made from one solid piece of natural wood. Each board is typically ¾-inch thick and milled from a single species. That gives it strength and authenticity that’s tough to beat. Solid hardwood flooring can be sanded and refinished several times, so it can last for generations if cared for right.

 

We recommend solid hardwood for areas above ground level, like living rooms, bedrooms, and offices. It doesn’t love moisture, so steer clear of installing it in bathrooms or basements. But in the right space, it brings timeless beauty and the unmistakable feeling of real wood underfoot.

What is engineered hardwood flooring?

Engineered wood flooring is the modern twist on traditional wood floors. These planks are made by bonding layers of real wood with a high-quality plywood base. The top layer is natural wood, so it looks just like solid hardwood. The core layers make it more stable, which means it resists warping better in moisture-prone areas.

 

Engineered wood flooring works well on any level of your home, including the basement. It’s a smart pick for anyone who wants the look of wood but needs a bit more flexibility. It can also be installed in different ways—nailed, glued, or even floated—so it's more adaptable to tricky spaces.

 

Popular hardwood flooring species

 

Choosing a wood species can feel overwhelming, but we’re here to help break it down. Each species offers a unique look and set of qualities:

 

  • Oak: Tough, traditional, and always in demand. Oak flooring comes in red or white varieties and takes stains well.
  • Maple: Maple hardwood flooring is smooth and sleek, with a clean, modern look. It is harder than oak and great for busy households.
  • Hickory: Hickory is one of the hardest domestic woods. Known for its bold grain and rustic vibe.
  • Walnut: Rich and dark, with a luxurious tone. It's not as hard as oak or maple, but it's visually stunning.
  • Cherry: Deepens with age, turning a warm reddish hue. Softer than most, so best in low-traffic areas.

 

Want something even more unique? We also carry exotic woods like Brazilian cherry and acacia for a bold, high-end look.

Benefits of hardwood floors

Hardwood is more than just pretty floors. It’s a long-term investment that brings serious value to your space:

 

  • Longevity: With the right care, wood floors can last decades—some even a century.
  • Easy to clean: Just sweep and mop. There is no need to fuss with special cleaners or equipment.
  • Allergy-friendly: Unlike carpet, hardwood floors don’t trap dust or allergens.
  • Adds resale value: Homes with hardwood flooring often sell faster and at higher prices.
  • Timeless look: Trends change, but wood floors never go out of style.

 

If you want flooring that works as hard as you do and keeps looking good year after year, hardwood is the answer.
