Armstrong And Thomasville Hardwood Flooring Offer Distinctive Finishes
Builders and homeowners are following today's trend of installing wood floors in their homes instead of carpet. This is because wood floors not only add beauty and warmth to a room, they are also more durable and easier to maintain than carpet; especially in homes with small children and pets.
What gives wood flooring these desirable properties? It is the type of wood used and the finish. The harder the wood, the more wear and tear the flooring can withstand. The finish protects wood floors from dirt, moisture, and wear while enhancing the natural beauty of the wood. Today there is a wide selection of hardwood floor finishes, each with their own advantages.
Two of the most popular brands of hardwood flooring are Armstrong and Thomasville. Armstrong wood flooring is crafted from the finest domestic and exotic hardwoods available. The buyer can choose from eleven types of wood in six shades, three colors, and five surface treatments. The natural wood grain planks are 5" wide and are pre-finished with one of today's best hard wood floor finishes.
Armstrong uses a UV-cured polyurethane finish combined with aluminum oxide for added durability. Tongue and groove construction is used to connect the planks. The flooring can be installed using glue-down, nail-down, or floating methods. Armstrong hardwood flooring is resistant to warping, cracking, and cupping under normal indoor conditions and comes with a 30 year limited warranty. As with most objects made from wood, the flooring becomes more beautiful over time as it ages and darkens.
The Thomasville name has been well known for years when it comes to high quality furniture. Now it is associated with hardwood flooring that is made using the best natural materials combined with modern technology. Thomasville flooring comes in styles varying from traditional to contemporary and is available in four types of wood: Jatoba, Walnut, Mahogany, and Oak. Each of these hardwoods has its own distinctive characteristics.
When it comes to hardwood floor finishes, Thomasville and Armstrong use the same UV-cured polyurethane and aluminum oxide finish for maximum durability. The tongue and groove method is also used in construction. Installation methods are also similar but for one exception. Thomasville offers what they call 5G Click Engineered flooring. This is a floating system with an interlocking design. It is easy to install and suitable for a do-it-yourself project that would save time and the cost of paying an installer.
After comparing these two brands of hard wood flooring, the conclusion is they are similar when it comes to a wide selection of woods and colors. Their hardwood floor finishes offer maximum protection against scuffs, scratches, and stains. Either one would be an excellent choice for anyone who wants the beauty and convenience of hardwood flooring in their home.
