Wood Floor species 

There are 4 types of wood floor species: light, medium, dark, exotic

When choosing the right species of wood flooring for your home is strictly a matter of style, budget and personal preference. More than 50 domestic and imported species of wood flooring are available on a market today.

Light colored woods make a room appear more open and airy. These woods

lend themselves to a more contemporary look

Medium colored woods make a room appear more warm and cozy. These woods lend themselves to a more casual look. Typical medium wood species include hickory and oak. Dark colored woods make a room appear more stately and refined. These woods

lend themselves to a more

formal look. Typical dark wood species include mahogany and walnut.

streaks or veins. Australian Cypress ranges from cream colored to honey-gold,

with dark brown knot holes. Purpleheart, which originates in Mexico, has a brown heartwood that will age to a deep purple or purplish brown. Burmese
