What is the most popular choice for hardwood flooring?
The short answer is oak. Oak is economical; and quite resistant to scratches and dents; and well received by most all.
In my market – Cambridge and Somerville, Massachusetts – oak is definitely the most popular choice for hardwood flooring, with maple a distant second. Other hardwood flooring types we see in Cambridge and Somerville are pine, fir, bamboo, Brazilian cherry and birch - and still others. There are actually a lot of types when it comes to hardwood floors! Moreover, there are different stains and ways of finishing floors.
Recently, I discovered an amazing online resource all about hardwood floors - TheFlooringGirl.com. There's not much that Debbie Gartner – The Flooring Girl – does not know about hardwood floors. In particular, I recommend you check out her blog post on The Most Popular Choices for Hardwood Flooring.
