		<description><![CDATA[Most people have seen so many oak floors that they&#8217;ve come to expect oak to be the only species available for hard wood flooring types. Oak does account for most of the types of hardwood floors sold in the United States. Other species used for hardwood flooring types, namely maple, pecan, birch, beech, various pines [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most people have a lot of questions about how their flooring will look when it&#8217;s installed. This is always difficult to communicate because everyone has a different perception of color and grain pattern. I often answer by comparing cabinet-grade wood with flooring. In a typical oak cabinet you&#8217;re looking at wood from three or four [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Because it&#8217;s the most popular kind of flooring, strip hardwood flooring is generally available in more variety than any other type. Practically every neighborhood lumberyard has bundles of 2 1/4 in. end-matched strip hardwood flooring lying around. But just because they sell it, it doesn&#8217;t mean you should buy it there. If there&#8217;s one thing [...]]]></description>

As I explain in the class, laying a hardwood floor is relatively simple once you&#8217;ve grasped the basic principles. Figuring out what kind of flooring meets your [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Prefinished hardwood flooring is definitely easier to install that solid flooring. By far the most difficult part of floor work is sanding and finishing. It&#8217;s backbreaking, dusty work with a heavy machine that can wreak havoc in a moment of inattention. Unfortunately, there&#8217;s no way to practice sanding. If you&#8217;ve never done it, you have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cutting and laying parquet flooring can be an ordeal. Whether the tile is bound by cloth webbing, paper facing or metal spline, the individual pieces always seem to want to go their separate ways. The ideal tool for cutting parquet is a bandsaw with a thin, fine-tooth blade. A bandsaw cuts cleanly and with minimum [...]]]></description>

If I&#8217;m installing parquet flooring in a small hallway, I start at one end and move down the center of the hall, working out toward the walls. In [...]]]></description>

For people wanting to contract a floor, a prime concern is cost; anything that looks as sumptuous as parquet flooring has got to be ruinously expensive, especially when it comes near the end of [...]]]></description>

In those days, before the broadloom made wall-to-wall carpet affordable, a wood floor was considered a necessity for civilized living. The FHA stopped requiring wood flooring [...]]]></description>
