Debunking Common Myths

 

“Wide plank floors are only for big houses.”
Not true. While wider boards can make large rooms feel even bigger, they also reduce the number of seams in smaller rooms, creating a cleaner look.

“You can’t refinish low-sheen floors.”
Actually, solid oak floors like these can be sanded and refinished multiple times—even with a Dura-Luster finish.

“Solid hardwood is too hard to install.”
It does take skill, but a professional installer familiar with nail-down methods will have no problem. Many homeowners also DIY this over a weekend with the right tools.
