How to Choose the Right Bruce Floor

  3. Species

    • Oak is versatile and budget-friendly

    • Hickory has bold grain and hardness

    • Maple is smooth and clean-looking

Debunking Common Myths

 

Myth 1: Solid hardwood can’t handle pets or kids.
→ With proper finish and care, many Bruce hardwood options hold up well in busy homes. Hickory and oak are especially tough.
