Q. What is the most durable hardwood floor?



A. When it comes to hardness of wood, species with higher grain density will be "harder" than others. Most exotic species of wood are denser than species that we find in North America, but exotics are usually more photosensitive (sensitive to light), and are easily damaged by the UV rays of the sun. Exotic hardwoods can also have uneven grain density, which can cause individual boards to accept stains unevenly. I can confidently say that if you are looking for hardness, uniform grain density, and stability when it comes to photo-sensitivity, you cannot go wrong with Red or White Oak. Durability, on the other hand, is more dependent on the finish we use to seal the floor. Here at Elite we only use top of the line commercial grade finish products, so that your floor will stand the test of time.
