Choosing the Right Hardwood Floor for Your Denver Home

ProSource, a Denver flooring wholesaler, offers a wide range of hardwood floor coverings. Two of the most popular types are ash and cherry wood. Here is a breakdown of the two woods based on common factors:

Durability: Ash wood is extremely durable, strong, and resistant to impact. cherry wood is also very durable, but is also highly workable, making sawing, nailing, and finishing more manageable.

Consider the foot traffic and usage for the rooms where you'll be installing hardwood. Obviously homes with children and pets will require a more durable floor covering.

Color: Both ash and cherry hardwoods come in a range of colors, but in general cherry tends to be darker, richer, and reddish in color. Cherry heartwood is deep reddish brown, whereas cherry sapwood is a lighter,wood with a pinkish tone.

Ash hardwood floors can range from rich, lustrous white and cream, to very light brown. Ash heartwood flooring can even range into a deep, reddish-brown.

Depending on the style of décor you want, darker woods convey a more formal, traditional feel while lighter tones offer a more contemporary look. In Denver, hardwood flooring preferences tend to lean toward the lighter, more contemporary tones.

Grain: When it comes to the grain of these hardwood floors, ash wood have a bold, open, prominent grain with a coarse texture. Cherry, on the other hand, has a grain that is quite fine and frequently wavy with a uniform, satin-like texture.
