Walnut Flooring is a Classic Choice for Your New Floor!

Walnut Flooring

Walnut flooring is a great choice because it is durable and looks beautiful!

In one of our previous blogs, we focused on the various advantages of using pine as a flooring material. If you’re looking for something hardier, yet still beautiful in its own right, walnut is one of the most popular choices available. When built and maintained properly, walnut flooring can last a lifetime! Why should you go with walnut for your new wood flooring project? Here are a few reasons.

Warm, Dark Tones

Walnut flooring has a naturally dark and deep tone to it, making it an ideal choice for those looking for a rustic feel to the room. This natural tone can be further refined and enhanced with the right staining and finishing. The feeling of warmth that results from walnut flooring lends itself especially to gathering rooms such as living rooms!

Durability

Take care of a wood floor made of walnut and it will last for a long time. On the Janka Hardness Scale, which measures the durability of various species of hardwood, walnut rates at 1010. This isn’t the highest number by any means, but it does rank higher than other popular wood species and will stay durable through the years.

Maintenance

Unlike other hardwood species, walnut is very resistant to moisture so it can be cleaned with a mop. It is also resistant to mold and water damage. The wood is high-density, making it difficult to scratch up and eliminating the need for heavy waxes and polishing to keep it looking new.

Environmentally Friendly

Walnut flooring is great for the environment. As with other wood species, walnut is an easily renewable resource that produces a smaller carbon footprint during manufacture compared to synthetic floorings like carpets and laminate. It is hypoallergenic, minimizing the amount of dirt and dust in your home, and easy to keep clean, making walnut flooring a perfect choice for those with seasonal allergies!
