The Treasured Walnut

By Kurt Mosaic

The captivating swirl pattern of the walnut tree makes it ideal for having walnut hardwood flooring put into your home. Wood workers, designers, and landscapers have been using this prized wood for centuries and there is no wonder why when you look at its grain pattern. The pattern is truly great and seems to be ever changing.

If you are not sure if walnut hardwood flooring will meet your current or planned home dcor, worry no more. With the hundreds of stains and colors you can get put on your hardwood flooring, there is no reason why you could not find the perfect match. Bronze, natural and toasted coffee is just a few of the colors you can have your walnut stained to match you design needs and tastes. Cleaning and maintaining your hardwood flooring correctly and regularly will help ensure you years of use out of it.

Purchase name brand wood cleaners that are not made with wax, oil, or vinegar. These liquids could scratch your wood and take off the stain color. Then you are left with a dull spotty floor, which is nothing to brag about.

Depending on the manufacturer or supplier you purchase your new walnut hardwood flooring from, you could be paying a pretty penny. Walnut is a great wood, but may not be the best options if you have kids or intend to have a lot of heavy traffic on the floors. If you want the elegance of the hardwood but also need them to be kid friendly, try adding oak or maple hardwood flooring instead.

They can sometimes be more durable, still easy to clean, and much cheaper for repairs, replacements, and refinishes. Shopping around before you buy will also help guide you in your decision. And one of the best way to do shopping is browsing online stores.
